Color-Block Knit Longline Cardigan

An open front and a long, loose line make this the layer you reach for when the air turns. Spliced bands of color travel across the knit in a geometric patchwork, deep army green set against lighter panels, so it reads as a considered piece rather than a plain cover-up.

Drop shoulders soften the shape and give the long sleeves room to move. The V-neck opens the collarbone, leaving space for a shirt collar or a fine chain beneath, and the knit has a moderate weight that drapes without bulk.

Falling somewhere between 80cm and 100cm, it skims the hip and thigh and swings gently as you walk. Wear it open over a white shirt and straight jeans for a working morning, belted loosely over a dress at the weekend, or thrown on over loungewear on a slow Sunday. It carries through autumn, winter layering and the first weeks of spring.
