- Fine, lightweight knit that layers without bulk
- Drawstring hood that sits right, not slouched to one side
- Ribbed hem with side slits, so it won't ride up when you sit
- True UK sizing, 8 through 16
The one you don't have to think about
Most hooded cardigans are either too thin to be worth wearing outside, or too heavy to layer under a coat. This one's cut to do both — soft enough for the sofa, smart enough for the school run.
- Nothing to fuss with — pull it on and go
- Nothing scratchy against the neck
- Nothing that only looks right buttoned all the way up
UK 8 (S) to UK 16 (2XL), in light grey. Most people order their usual dress size.

Why the cardigans you already own don't get worn
TOO BULKYThe chunky knit
Lovely on the hanger, but it won't fit under a coat sleeve, and you're too warm the moment you step indoors.
TOO THINThe cheap fine-knit cardi
Layers well, then bobbles after a few washes, gapes at the buttons and does nothing once there's a breeze.
TOO CASUALThe fleece zip-up hoodie
Warm and easy, but it looks like gym kit. Fine for the dog walk, not for meeting a friend for lunch.
TOO FUSSYA scarf over a plain cardigan
One more thing to carry, adjust and leave behind on the back of a chair.
Most knitwear makes you choose between warm, light and smart. This one doesn't.
The details that make it the one you reach for
A fine, lightweight knit
Soft to the touch and light enough to go under a coat without bunching at the arms — or over a tee on its own.
A hood that behaves
The drawstring lets you set it once, so it sits evenly on your shoulders instead of sliding off to one side.
Ribbed hem with side slits
The rib keeps the shape; the slits give it room to move, so it lies flat when you sit rather than riding up.

Common questions
Is it warm enough to wear outside?
It's a fine knit rather than a heavy one, so think of it as your spring, autumn and indoors layer on its own, and your under-the-coat layer in winter. The hood adds real warmth around the neck when the wind picks up.
How does it fit?
True to UK sizing with a relaxed, easy shape — not clingy, not oversized. It's cut to button up comfortably without pulling across the front.
How do I get the multi-buy discount?
Just add two or more cardigans to your cart — any mix of colours and sizes. You'll see 10% off for 2, 15% off for 3 and 20% off for 4 applied automatically. There's no code to enter.
How should I wash it?
As with any fine knit: a cool, gentle wash, reshape while damp and dry flat. Skip the tumble dryer to keep it soft and in shape.
What do I wear it with?
Open over a tee and jeans, buttoned over a dress, or under a gilet or coat. The light grey is easy to pair with denim, neutrals and prints alike.
What size should I order?
Order your usual dress size — it runs UK 8 (S) to UK 16 (2XL). If you're between sizes or like more room for layering underneath, go up one.
