I was writing a post on this very affordable cardigan jacket in 15+ colors, and noticed that it’s on sale for an even better price! I found the overall sweater to be a great value even when not on sale – I bought two at regular price and have worn them many times already for school drop offs, weekends & WFH.
You can check out all of my Amazon finds here for other items I own on sale, including a deal on my trusty mini steamer that I use on this.
Sizing: This cardigan was an unexpected success for me since they only offer size Small – XL (UPDATE: they just introduced XS). I usually take xxs in other brands and assumed the S would be much too big, but it actually fits a good amount of oversized on me after I cuffed up the sleeves. A friend who is 5’4” and slender tried on my size S cardigan, and the sleeves hit bracelet length on her, and it had more of a closer fit rather than slouchy and oversized.
Material: The material is weighty, a smooth flat weave and warm. It has a lot of structure and is not a flowy & drapey style cardigan. When it arrives it looks boxy out of the package, and I found that giving it a good steaming, especially along both sides and the sides of each sleeve, makes a big difference in how it falls on the body.
Colors: In the photo above I’m wearing the Amazon cardigan in Grey, but want to note that in-person it’s actually taupe, which was a nice surprise for me since taupe is a core color in my wardrobe! I also bought the Khaki pictured below, which is a camel color.
