Trudy™ — Polo Collar Knit Cardigan

Trudy™ — Polo Collar Knit Cardigan

A cardigan that reads like a blouse. The Trudy™ has a proper pointed polo collar and a full row of buttons down the front, so it holds its line the way a shirt does — but it is knitted from a fine, smooth yarn, so it feels like a sweater from the moment you put it on. Worn closed it is the whole outfit. Worn open over a tee it is the layer that pulls the rest together.

Why you'll reach for it

• The pointed polo collar stands up cleanly on its own, so you get a finished neckline without a shirt underneath.
• Seven mottled horn-look buttons run the full length of the front, so you decide how closed you want it.
• The knit is fine and smooth rather than chunky, so it lies flat under a coat instead of bunching at the shoulder.
• Ribbed cuffs and hem hold their shape through the day and keep the line neat at the wrist and waist.
• It ends at the hip, which works over trousers, denim and a skirt without you having to think about it.
• Nine solid colors, from quiet camel and ivory through to emerald and burgundy — easy to build a second and a third one around.
