Iolanthe | Collared Button Cardigan

IOLANTHE

The Iolanthe is a proper winter cardigan. A thick, chunky knit with real weight to it, finished with large metal buttons down an off centre placket and a neat pointed collar. It is the sort of thing you reach for on a cold morning and then keep on all day.

WHY WOMEN LOVE THE IOLANTHE

• Warm without the bulk. The knit is thick enough to keep the cold out on a wet school run, and soft enough to wear over a blouse indoors without feeling weighed down.
• Buttons worth noticing. Five large metal buttons run down an off centre placket, which is the detail that makes it look considered rather than plain.
• Room to move. Cut with width through the shoulder and the upper arm, so you can reach a top shelf or carry the shopping without it dragging across your back.
• Sleeves that stay put. Full through the arm and gathered into ribbed cuffs, so they hold their shape instead of stretching out at the wrist.
• A hem that flatters. The gently curved, scalloped hem sits over the hip rather than cutting straight across the widest part of you.
• Easy to wear with anything. Over wide leg trousers on a Saturday, over a blouse for lunch, or over what you already had on.
