Novita Helene & Edith: In My Stripes Era Cardigan
The In My Stripes Era Cardigan is a joyful cardigan you reach for when you want to stay comfortable but still add a small dash of whimsy to your outfit. The cardigan is worked seamlessly from the top down with raglan increases, making it simple to adjust both the length and fit as you go. You can wear it with a simple t-shirt-and-jeans look for instant cool girl vibes, or layer it over a dress when you want something cozy that still feels considered. With its classic raglan shape and graphic stripes, this is a cardigan that celebrates colour and stripes.
