A shawl-collar cardigan in a waffle-textured knit that does more visual work than a plain knit without making a fuss about it. The wide shawl lapel frames the chest cleanly whether the cardigan is buttoned or worn open, and the waffle pattern gives the fabric a subtle depth that catches the light in a way flat knits simply don't. The contrast wooden buttons are the detail that ties it together — warm-toned against the knit body, substantial enough to feel like a considered choice.
The construction is relaxed and practical: two patch pockets sit at the hip for actual use rather than decoration, ribbed cuffs and a ribbed hem keep the structure in check, and the button-through front gives you the option of wearing it as a top in its own right or as an open layer over a tee or shirt. The fit is relaxed without being shapeless.
Wear buttoned over a white tee and dark chinos for a clean weekend look. Layer open over a flannel shirt for a casual double-layer combination. Throw on with trackpants and a plain long-sleeve tee for an easy at-home layer that doesn't look like you've given up.
