Batwing Sleeve Cropped Cardigan

Softness you feel the moment it settles over the shoulders. The brushed knit has the downy hand of imitation cashmere, light enough to carry and warm enough for the first cold evenings of the season.

Wide batwing sleeves fall into a relaxed drape from the shoulder, and the cropped hem stops at the waist. The loose line skims the body rather than clinging, so it layers comfortably over a slip dress, a fine roll-neck or high-waisted denim.

Wear it open over a column skirt for a long lunch, or over a dress for a dinner that runs late. The unstructured shape works through autumn and into winter, with room for a long-sleeve top underneath on colder days.

Eight shades run from quiet khaki and gray to brick red and purple, so there is a tone for a neutral wardrobe and one for a brighter one.

• Batwing sleeves: wide and unstructured, falling into a soft drape from the shoulder.
• Cropped hem: sits at the waist, keeping the proportion neat over skirts and trousers.
• Brushed knit: polyester with the downy feel of imitation cashmere.
• Loose fit: roomy through the body for layering without bulk.
