Desert Dreamer Cardigan

This oversized knit cardigan is a bit of a scene-stealer if you’re after something soft that still says, ‘I left the house on purpose’. Forget the starchy button-ups - the look here is long and drapey with a no-fuss open front. Straight away, it’s giving luxuriously slouchy with the sort of geometric pattern you’d expect to see at some candle-lit festival in Byron. But there’s cleverness in the placement: not splattered all over, but accenting the front bands, sleeves, hem and cuffs just enough to keep things visually lively without going full retro-blanket.

It’s thick enough for warmth but finely made, so you won’t get those bunched-up elbows after a day of actual wear. The feel is lovely - thanks to 48% acrylic for bounce, 28% nylon for strength, and 24% rayon for a little ‘hello, silky smooth’. That stitch? Tight and flexible, so you get structure and cosiness - with zero scratch factor.

Now it’s got no fastenings or faff - which really lets the relaxed silhouette shine. Dropped shoulders mean you can wear it solo or easily layer over anything from tees to dresses to - dare we say it - activewear. It absolutely swishes over leggings and slides too. Those banded cuffs are also brilliant at staying up for “hands-free” activities - because nobody likes dragging their sleeves through soy flat whites or fresh paint (not speaking from experience or anything).

The whole thing is pretty timeless too - if you like an interesting print without feeling like you’ve walked into an art lesson. There are contrasting edge colours and just enough pattern popping out to add zing without being overwhelming.

Sizing runs generous (and yes: two XL options, which is rare) and the high elasticity means you could easily size down if you want something less boyfriend-fit. Shoulder seams are dropped by design, letting this one fall beautifully whether belted or left loose.

Pull it on anytime: mornings running late, road trips with mates or any time your house gets so chilly that not even double socks cut it anymore.
