Rustic Charm

When it comes to that relaxed, borrowed-from-the-boyfriend vibe, the art is all in the cut. This open-front cardigan knows precisely how to play with proportions - a boxy silhouette, drop sleeves, and wide-set ribbed cuffs absolutely make it. The thick ribbing at the cropped hem and sleeves is cleverly done, too - a nice little touch that prevents the whole thing from feeling bulky while keeping its shape wear after wear. That lived-in texture? It practically asks you to touch and feel how soft it is. It’s got that plushness you want for an early weekend market stroll… or even a cheeky Friday night wind-down on the sofa. Not too chunky, either, which helps if layering is second nature (as it should be). Cosy enough for a nippy evening but light enough to throw over an indoor-outdoor dinner look. The open front’s also plain - no buttons or hardware to get in the way - which means you can style around this one without much fuss.
