Yoko’s elegant wrap cardigan was an instant favorite the minute it arrived in our studio. The oversized, casual nature of the garment makes it desirable for dressing up or dressing down, and the minimalist shape keeps it looking truly elegant no matter the outfit. The delicately cabled fronts of the cardigan fold over the shoulder and join at center back, creating a comfortable, flattering fit as well as a beautiful tailoring detail. We love Yoko’s clean, Japanese aesthetic and think this is one sweater you’ll love to wear.
