The Knit Cardigan – Understated Luxury in Dune Melange

Cosy, tactile, and undeniably chic—the 04 Knit Cardigan in Dune Melange from My Essential Wardrobe is knitwear at its finest. Crafted from a beautifully soft blend rich in wool and alpaca, this cardigan delivers that plush, cloud-like feel without compromising on style. Its softly oversized silhouette, dropped shoulders, and bold contrast buttons add just the right amount of statement to your everyday layers.

The warm neutral hue flatters every skin tone and makes it endlessly versatile—perfect for those moments when you want to feel polished, comfortable, and pulled together in seconds.

Fit: Relaxed, hip-length cut with dropped shoulders and long sleeves.
Design: Deep V-neckline, tonal melange finish, contrast tortoiseshell-style buttons.
Fabric Composition: 10% Wool, 8% Alpaca, 50% Polyester, 32% Acrylic – prioritising natural warmth and softness with gentle structure.

How to Measure Yourself Correctly

Achieve the perfect fit by following these simple measurement steps:

Chest/Bust: Measure around the fullest part of your chest, keeping the tape measure horizontal.
Waist: Measure around the narrowest part of your waist, just above your navel.
Hips: Measure around the fullest part of your hips and bottom, with your feed together.

Ensure the tape measure is snug, but not tight, and parallel to the floor.

*If you fall between sizes, we recommend sizing up for comfort and layering or down if you prefer a snug fit.

Hil (5'3", UK 10/12): Wears a Small for a softly slouchy fit that still feels neat. Ideal layered over a blouse or tucked into a high-waisted skirt.
Sue (5'0", UK 6): Wears an Extra Small. The proportions are just right on her petite frame—roomy enough to feel cosy, but still flattering.

General Rule: Natural wool and alpaca fibres will gently soften with wear. Stick with your true size for the best shape and drape.

We love how this cardigan feels—substantial and premium, with a softness that makes you want to live in it. The blend of alpaca and wool gives it that elevated feel, while the neutral tone and statement buttons add just enough edge. It’s one of those pieces you’ll reach for again and again.

Hil’s Look – Luxe Everyday:
Hil wears hers over a crisp white shirt, tucked into a bias-cut skirt with a leather belt and heels. Add gold earrings and a red lip and it’s instantly elevated.

Sue’s Look – Relaxed Neutral Layers:
Sue layers hers over a fitted long-sleeve tee and black skinny jeans. She finishes the look with chunky trainers and a slouchy crossbody—soft, simple, and unmistakably cool.
