{"product_id":"womens-striped-button-cardigan-cream","title":"Women's Striped Button Cardigan with Flap Pockets in Cream and Black","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Genesis is a button cardigan that behaves like a light jacket: a cream knit with bold black stripes, a proper collar, gold buttons down the front and two flap pockets on the chest. Button it up and it is a polished top; leave it open over a tee and it finishes the outfit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShirt-style collar\u003c\/strong\u003e that frames the face the way a jacket does.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGold buttons\u003c\/strong\u003e that pick up gold jewelry and warm up the black.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlap chest pockets\u003c\/strong\u003e that add structure where a plain cardigan goes soft.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSmooth viscose blend\u003c\/strong\u003e (50% viscose, 28% polyester, 22% polyamide) that feels soft against bare arms.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThe Button Cardigan as a Top\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA button cardigan worn fully fastened replaces a blouse, and with a collar it reads as a knit shirt. Tuck the front into a skirt or high-rise jeans and the stripes stop at the waist, which shortens nothing and defines a lot. Worn open over a white tee, the collar and pockets keep it looking like a jacket rather than a sweater thrown on.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCream Rather Than Stark White\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBlack stripes on bright white can look harsh next to the face. On cream, the contrast drops a step and the stripe looks softer and a little vintage. \u003cstrong\u003eIt gives you the graphic punch of black and white stripes with a warmer, easier finish.\u003c\/strong\u003e Light-wash jeans, as in the photos, keep it fresh; black pants make it sharper.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eButtons, Gaps and the Bust\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eButtoned knits tell you right away if the size is wrong. If the fronts pull into small ovals between the buttons, the cardigan is too tight across the bust, and one size up will close flat. Each letter size covers two women's numeric sizes: S is 4 and 6, M is 8 and 10, L is 12 and 14, and XL is 16 and 18. \u003cstrong\u003eWhen it fits, the button line runs straight from collar to hem\u003c\/strong\u003e, and that clean line is what makes it look tailored.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eBlack Stripes on a Collared Knit\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eIs a collared cardigan polished enough for work?\u003c\/b\u003e Yes, for business casual. Buttoned over dress pants, or open over a black shell, the collar and gold buttons do what a blazer would without the stiffness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWill gold buttons scratch in the wash?\u003c\/b\u003e They can, so fasten them first and turn the cardigan inside out, so the buttons face inward and do not knock against the drum. A dry cloth brings back the shine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhat jewelry suits a collared cardigan?\u003c\/b\u003e Small gold hoops or a short gold chain sitting inside the collar, repeating the buttons. A long pendant tangles with the pocket flaps and is better saved for a crewneck.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Threaded Pear","offers":[{"title":"Black Stripe \/ S - 4\/6","offer_id":67600433152301,"sku":"Genesis CardiganSweater-Black-S","price":59.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Black Stripe \/ M - 8\/10","offer_id":67600437543213,"sku":"Genesis CardiganSweater-Black-M","price":59.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Black Stripe \/ L - 12\/14","offer_id":67600437575981,"sku":"Genesis CardiganSweater-Black-L","price":59.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Black Stripe \/ XL - 16\/18","offer_id":67600437608749,"sku":"Genesis CardiganSweater-Black-XL","price":59.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0667\/4553\/2717\/files\/womens-striped-button-cardigan-cream-1.jpg?v=1791038747","url":"https:\/\/aysire.com\/products\/womens-striped-button-cardigan-cream","provider":"Aysire","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
