Printed Button Front Longline Cardigan in Leopard

Leopard has quietly become a neutral. It goes with black, it goes with denim, it goes with cream, and it does more for an outfit than another plain gray layer ever will. Double Take puts that print on a longline cardigan with a button front, which turns a simple layer into the piece people actually notice.

Length is what makes this one work. The cardigan runs from 31.6 inches at size S to 33.9 inches at XL, so it falls well past the hip and creates a long vertical line down the body. That length is why it layers so easily over tops and dresses without cutting you in half. Material composition is 95% polyester, 5% spandex, so it is slightly stretchy and comfortable rather than rigid, and the knit is opaque. The button front means you can wear it closed like a light coat or open like a duster, and the two looks are genuinely different. Sleeve length runs 23 to 24.2 inches. Sizes are S through XL.

Worn open over a black tank and jeans, the cardigan carries the whole outfit and you do not need to think about anything else. Over a simple dress it adds shape and a bit of drama. Buttoned up with the sleeves pushed to the elbow, it reads almost like a printed shirt dress and works with boots. Because leopard is busy, keep what is underneath plain: black, white, denim and camel all sit well against it. Add a slim belt at the waist if you want definition, since the longline shape is loose by nature. It dresses up for dinner and down for a school run without changing anything but the shoes.
