** Description:**

The kind of cardigan Jackie O would toss over her shoulders on the way to a private
gallery viewing. This 1950s/60s-era bouclé knit cardigan by **Kimberly Knitwear**
is sculpted in a soft cream wool blend and finished with dainty faux pearl buttons.
Bracelet-length sleeves and a slightly cropped hem create a crisp, timeless line,
while the texture brings just enough charm to layer into modern wardrobes. A capsule
essential for the quiet collector or the polished minimalist.

**Styling Suggestions:**

Layer it over a silk slip dress and kitten heels for that Upper East Side polish,
or offset the softness with rigid denim, slicked hair, and combat boots. For a nod
to the decade, pair with a circle skirt and kitten-heeled slingbacks, then add your
grandmother’s brooch.
