Cropped Short Sleeve Cardigan
$99 at COS
If you love the look of a cardigan but perhaps live somewhere in Australia in which the weather doesn't exactly call for cosy, warm knits (here's looking at you fashion girlies of WA, NT and QLD) then a crop sleeve alternative is the perfect solution. Not only does the shape of the sleeves look adorable but it's also great for the early autumn and late days of spring where you find yourself sweating by midday even though the mornings have some bite.
Style notes:
- Available in navy and cream
- Cotton and recycled nylon blend
- Milano knit
