The Elodie Embellished Zip Cardigan

The ornate buttons are the first thing I notice. They make a simple outfit feel much less plain.

I like how the ribbed collar frames the neckline instead of lying completely flat. Went for red this time.

The zip and buttons make sense together. Glad it doesn't mix lots of different hardware colours. The grey version was my choice.

The cropped body works really well against high-waisted wide legs

That contrast is one of the things I like most about the shape. I went with the grey one.

this is the one i choose when a plain knit feels a bit too ordinary.

I like the more structured-looking top half against a softer skirt. This is based on the red option.

Nice being able to change the front opening instead of having one fixed neckline

The design has its appeal, but the decorative buttons are quite a statement. I don't think the cropped high collar shape is quite the silhouette I was looking for. Grey is the shade I picked.

The ornate buttons are such a lovely detail. My only hesitation is that the decorative buttons are quite a statement. Colour-wise, I settled on grey.

I like the design most with dark straight jeans. The sleeves are fuller than I normally wear, so that's the way I would style it.

they give the front some symmetry without it looking like a normal button-up cardigan

The knit already has plenty of detail, so plain jeans are enough.

It's a feature I'd want to show rather than hide under a scarf. Grey is the shade I picked.

the overall idea works for me, though the high collar takes a bit of styling on me. keeping the other pieces simple helps balance it.

I like the idea in the pictures. On me, the high collar takes a bit of styling on me, and I haven't found an outfit combination I feel fully happy with. I liked the look of grey best.

The embellishment makes it an alternative to a smarter jacket with tailored trousers. My pick from the colour options was red.

between the collar and buttons there is already lots going on around the front. this is based on the red option.

Those proportions are what caught my eye. Not the same shape as my other knits.

This particular design wasn't the right match for me. The sleeves are fuller than I normally wear. I'd look for a different cut next time

Good-looking design. If I changed one thing, I'd make the overall outline a little less full, but that's personal taste.

I like a little of a plain top showing at the neckline.

The high ribbed collar gives it a nice shape. I'd keep the rest of the outfit understated rather than adding more statement pieces.

more of a styling piece than a basic for me. i needed to rethink the proportions of what i paired it with, but i like the result

The buttons are more decorative than my usual style, and that's why I wanted it.

It gives the bottom a definite shape rather than leaving the whole cardigan loose. For reference, mine is grey.

I keep jewellery simple so the silver-tone details on the cardigan stay the focus.
