A ribbed zip-up knit cardigan that works harder than a standard zip-through fleece without requiring the same level of commitment as a structured jacket. The wide-rib knit has enough texture and weight to stand on its own as an outer layer in mild conditions, and the funnel collar sits high enough at the neck to provide real warmth without needing anything underneath. The full-length zip means you can dial the coverage up or down depending on the temperature.
The construction is straightforward in the best sense: vertical rib runs consistently through the body, sleeves, and collar, giving the piece a clean, unified look. The relaxed fit through the chest and shoulders allows for easy layering over a tee or lightweight knit, and the hip-length cut finishes at the right point to wear over jeans or chinos without riding up.
Wear over a plain tee with dark slim jeans and leather boots for a complete casual look. Layer under a shell jacket or coat for extra warmth on colder days. Throw on with trackpants and sneakers for an easy at-home layer that holds its shape.
