Make room for your everyday.

The right layer starts with how you want to wear it. Before choosing a size, picture the top underneath, the hemline you like and whether you will wear the front open or fastened.

Start with the shape

Button-front cardigans let you adjust the neckline and front opening. If you plan to close the buttons, compare the garment bust with a similar piece you wear comfortably fastened.

Open-front cardigans give your base layer more room to show. Check shoulders and sleeves as well as chest measurements; an open front does not make every fit interchangeable.

Longline styles offer a longer hem. Measure from your shoulder down to where you want the layer to end and compare it with the listed garment length.

Look past the letter

Each style has its own chart. A medium in one cardigan may measure differently from a medium in another. One-size styles also have specific measurements; the label does not mean they fit everyone.
