{"product_id":"womens-striped-tie-front-cardigan-khaki","title":"Women's Striped Tie-Front Cardigan in Khaki and Cream","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTwo bow ties\u003c\/strong\u003e in place of buttons, so the front can sit closed, half open or fully open.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrushed knit\u003c\/strong\u003e, as the maker calls it: 65% acrylic and 35% polyamide with a soft, slightly fuzzy face.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWide muted stripes\u003c\/strong\u003e that read calm and earthy rather than nautical.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBalloon sleeves\u003c\/strong\u003e on a dropped shoulder for a soft, rounded line.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eA Striped Cardigan That Ties\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA 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. \u003cstrong\u003eThat angled opening is more flattering than a straight button line\u003c\/strong\u003e, because the eye follows it down instead of across the stripes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTying Bows That Stay Tied\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKnit 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat Brushing Does to a Knit\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA 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. \u003cstrong\u003eThe payoff is a cardigan that feels cozy the moment you put it on.\u003c\/strong\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eKhaki and Cream Stripes for Layering\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDo khaki and cream count as neutrals?\u003c\/b\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDoes a brushed knit shed at first?\u003c\/b\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eIs a tie-front cardigan warm enough for fall?\u003c\/b\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Threaded Pear","offers":[{"title":"Khaki \/ S - 4\/6","offer_id":67600433086765,"sku":"LC2712285-P1622-S","price":63.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Khaki \/ M - 8\/10","offer_id":67600437444909,"sku":"LC2712285-P1622-M","price":63.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Khaki \/ L - 12\/14","offer_id":67600437477677,"sku":"LC2712285-P1622-L","price":63.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Khaki \/ XL - 16\/18","offer_id":67600437510445,"sku":"LC2712285-P1622-XL","price":63.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0667\/4553\/2717\/files\/womens-striped-tie-front-cardigan-khaki-1.jpg?v=1791038727","url":"https:\/\/aysire.com\/products\/womens-striped-tie-front-cardigan-khaki","provider":"Aysire","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
