DELACROIX | Cardigan en maille col chemise Martine

The first signs of cold weather should never force you to choose between staying warm and looking stylish!

Imagine a knit you throw on without a second thought in the morning, that keeps you warm without weighing you down, and that stays impeccable from morning coffee to dinner. Stop imagining: this soft knit cardigan with a shirt collar does exactly that, day after day.

• A knit that doesn't itch
  The yarn is spun to remain soft against direct skin contact, without that irritation that makes you regret your choice by midday. You can wear it over a simple silk slip or a camisole, with nothing underneath. It's a knit you keep on all day.
• A shirt collar that structures
  The folded collar frames the face and gives the knit the appearance of a shirt, whereas a round collar always remains a bit casual. You just need to unbutton it to let a delicate necklace breathe. This detail elevates the outfit from comfortable to polished.
• A cut that skims the silhouette
  The cut is slightly loose: it glides over the waist and stomach instead of highlighting them, which most fine knits can't do. The shoulders remain neat and the ribbed bottom holds the garment without constricting it. You get a fluid and feminine line, without having to tuck anything in or adjust.
• One buttoning, two garments
  Closed, it's a neat and covering sweater for crisp mornings. Open over a top, it becomes a light cardigan that can be removed as soon as the room warms up. One piece accompanies you from morning to evening, regardless of the temperature.
• Four colors that match everything
  Sky blue, powder pink, dark red, and dark blue: four shades designed to complement what you already wear. White jeans, fluid trousers, a midi skirt — each works effortlessly. You don't have to rethink anything in your wardrobe to adopt it.

Staying warm and looking stylish cease to be two separate decisions. This is the knit you pull out of the closet the next day, then the day after — and end up buying in a second color.
