Learn how to wear the Pointelle Rib Cardigan year-round. From spring layering to winter warmth, these styling tips help you get the most from this versatile knit top.

Quick answer

The Pointelle Rib Cardigan's slim fit and eight-button front make it a true four-season piece. Wear it buttoned as a top in warmer months, or layer it open over tanks and tees when the temperature drops.

Why the Pointelle Rib Cardigan works year-round

Its lightweight ribbed knit and pointelle detailing give it enough breathability for spring and summer, while the long sleeves and slim fit make it easy to layer under a coat in fall and winter. The eight-button front lets you adjust coverage, so you can wear it fully buttoned as a top or leave it open for a relaxed look.

How to style the Pointelle Rib Cardigan in every season

  1. Spring: Button it up as a top: Button the cardigan all the way up and tuck it into high-waisted jeans or a midi skirt. Add sneakers or loafers. The crew neckline and slim fit create a clean silhouette that works on its own. Common mistake: Leaving it open over a bulky top can add unnecessary layers. Buttoning it up streamlines the look.
  2. Summer: Wear it open over a tank or sundress: Leave the cardigan unbuttoned and layer it over a simple tank top or a slip dress. The pointelle knit adds texture without overheating. Choose a light color like Deep Taupe for a breezy feel. Checkpoint: Make sure the cardigan is one size up from your usual if you plan to wear it open over dresses — the slim fit can feel snug otherwise.
  3. Fall: Layer under a trench or denim jacket: Button the cardigan halfway or fully and wear it as a mid-layer under a trench coat or denim jacket. The long sleeves and crew neckline sit smoothly under outerwear without bunching. Common mistake: Buttoning it all the way under a jacket can create bulk. Try leaving the top button undone for a relaxed drape.
  4. Winter: Double-layer with a turtleneck and coat: Wear the cardigan open over a thin turtleneck, then top with a wool coat. The slim fit prevents it from adding bulk, and the eight-button front lets you adjust airflow as you move between indoors and outdoors. Checkpoint: Avoid thick turtlenecks — the cardigan's slim fit works best with a base layer that is no thicker than a fine-gauge merino or cashmere.
