Why is it a good deal? ??

If you're looking to expand your sweater selection, now is the perfect time — prices will only go up as temperatures drop. That's why this cardigan is a great choice; it's warm enough to wear throughout fall and winter, but lightweight enough to work as an extra layer on chillier end-of-summer nights. Right now, it's 50% off at just $30 (down from $60) in many colors — it's even cheaper now than it was for Prime Day!

Why do I need this? ??

Over 7,000 five-star reviewers agree: This is the comfy, versatile cardi they've been looking for. Use it as an added layer when you're indoors and need a bit more warmth, or wear it out paired with a cute T-shirt and jeans. The open front makes for a breezy, flowy fit, and the sweater is nice and long for some extra rear-end coverage. You'll get two roomy side pockets to put your phone or wallet in when you pop out to do some quick errands. Simply put, it's a great transitional staple with fall just weeks away, and with 35 colors and sizes ranging from S to XXL, you're sure to find your ultimate cardigan companion.

What reviewers say ??

Many reviewers are impressed not only by the quality of this open-front sweater, but by how easily it can transition into a more dressy-casual look.

Pros ??

One five-star reviewer wrote, "I wanted a navy sweater to wear around the house to pair with all my cozies. Working-from-home video call tip — a sweater magically makes you look dressier than a sweatshirt! This sweater was good quality. I was most impressed with the softness — not scratchy while still looking higher quality. I wash this and put it in the dryer on a lower heat."

"I love the cardigan, and it looks just like the picture," assured a shopper. "I love the fit and the look, and it’s very slimming and flattering."

Another five-star fan noted that she received many compliments after ordering this cardigan: "[It's] well made and fits perfectly. I don’t like my sweaters tight, and this is comfy without being baggy. Very pretty weave and the color I chose goes perfectly with a wide variety of blue jeans and leggings."

"I received my first one as a gift and promptly went and bought one in another color," said this repeat customer. "It layers perfectly for cooler spring/fall days and evenings and goes comfortably over another shirt for winter wear. So cute and covers just below my bottom with a flattering curve. Even my partner likes this on me!"

Cons ??

Quick care tip: "I love this sweater, the color is beautiful also," a shopper shared. "Would not recommend washing with lighter items, as the lint sticks to the material easily. Definitely hang dry only. Would buy again in another color!"

Some wearers also noted that, if you're on the shorter side, the cardigan may run longer on you. "I'm 5 feet, 1 inch tall and this easily brushed the back of my knees. Way too long for me," said one. "The color was great. I gave it to a tall friend who was thankful to have it."

Thanks to a waffle-knit stitch, it's more breathable than other cardigans, making it a great transitional piece.

They flatter the body, a fan explained: "Do you have curves? Do you have hips? Do you want pants that make your butt look good? These are the pants. They say 'Honey, I’m gonna take care of you.' They zip up, give a little tummy tucking, and they love your curves without feeling too tight."
