The Amara is a striped cardigan in wide khaki and cream bands that closes with two little bows instead of buttons. Tie both for a closed look over a tank, tie only the top one so it swings open below, or leave both loose and wear it like a soft jacket.

  • Two bow ties in place of buttons, so the front can sit closed, half open or fully open.
  • Brushed knit, as the maker calls it: 65% acrylic and 35% polyamide with a soft, slightly fuzzy face.
  • Wide muted stripes that read calm and earthy rather than nautical.
  • Balloon sleeves on a dropped shoulder for a soft, rounded line.

A Striped Cardigan That Ties

A striped cardigan usually means buttons and a straight front. Ties change the shape. Drawn together at the chest, the fronts angle away below, showing a little of the top underneath and drawing a soft V down the torso. That angled opening is more flattering than a straight button line, because the eye follows it down instead of across the stripes.

The photos show it over a white tank with light jeans, the easiest version. For cooler days, a cream long-sleeve tee keeps the palette quiet.

Tying Bows That Stay Tied

Knit ties have more give than ribbon, so a single bow slowly works loose as you move. Tie one overhand knot first, then the bow on top of it, and it holds through a full day. Keep the loops short, roughly the width of two fingers, and the tails hang neatly instead of dangling into your lunch.

What Brushing Does to a Knit

A brushed knit has been combed after knitting so loose fibers lift to the surface. Those raised fibers trap air, which is why it feels warmer and softer than a smooth knit of the same weight. The payoff is a cardigan that feels cozy the moment you put it on. 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.

Khaki and Cream Stripes for Layering

Do khaki and cream count as neutrals? Both do, so the stripe goes with denim, black, olive and brown. Bright white beside cream makes the cream look warmer, which is pretty against a white tank.

Does a brushed knit shed at first? A little in the first few wears, as loose surface fibers work free. Wash it inside out on its own once, away from towels and darks, and the shedding settles.

Is a tie-front cardigan warm enough for fall? For mild days and indoors, yes. Tied at the chest it keeps your core warm, and it slips under a roomy coat when the temperature really drops.
