Lace floral appliqus sit at the shoulder and trail down one side seam - a considered detail that gives a classic crew-neck cardigan genuine distinction. The knit blend - insulating and naturally breathable - holds its shape through the body without pulling or stretching, so the silhouette stays neat across the chest and shoulders. Button-through front fastening runs from crew neck to ribbed hem, allowing the cardigan to be worn fully open as a light layer or closed as a standalone top. Ribbed cuffs and a ribbed hem keep the fit anchored, preventing the body from riding up and giving the piece a structured finish even in a relaxed knit weight. A cropped-to-waist length sits cleanly above high-waisted trousers or skirts, making it easy to build a co-ordinated look without any awkward bunching at the waist. The cardigan sits close to the body without being tight - there is enough ease through the torso to move comfortably, yet the shape reads as intentional rather than oversized. That balance is what makes it so adaptable. The lace appliqu detail shifts it decisively away from the purely casual; this is not a throw-on layer but a considered piece that works just as well tucked into a smart occasion as it does worn at home on a slower day. Pair it as the model does, buttoned up over wide-leg tailored trousers and pointed-toe heels, for a tonal off-duty look that carries real polish without any effort. Alternatively, button it over a silk slip dress for an evening out, letting the floral detailing do the talking. For the office, wear it open over a fitted turtleneck with straight-cut trousers - the appliqu adds enough visual interest to make the combination feel considered rather than simply practical. | Karen Millen Women's Lace Embellished Cosy Knit Cardigan Sweater in Oatmeal | Size: Large
