Cropped Cardigan

This cardigan leans into a slightly fuzzy, midweight knit that holds a boxy structure through the torso. The deep crimson tone is punctuated by oversized gold-tone heart buttons, providing a kitschy, high-contrast hardware detail against the traditional ribbed cuffs and placket. It’s a piece built for layering, best worn buttoned up to lean into the collegiate-meets-subversive aesthetic BLANKNYC does best.

Safety Rating: Lowest

Analysis: The composition is dominated by synthetic fibers including acrylic, polyester, nylon, and spandex, which significantly limit breathability and moisture management. The high plastic content creates a potential for microplastic shedding and reduces biocompatibility with the skin's natural microbiome.
