Kenya Cardigan

This cardigan leans into the classic collegiate aesthetic, defined by a sharp, ivory-and-black contrast trim that frames the V-neck and pockets. The knit has a structured, waffle-like density that holds its shape through the shoulders and sleeves, landing at a cropped length that pairs cleanly with high-waisted trousers or skirts. It is a straightforward nod to mid-century academic dressing, updated with a modern, abbreviated silhouette.

Safety Rating: Lowest

Analysis: The garment is constructed from a blend of acrylic and nylon, both of which are petroleum-based synthetic fibers. These materials lack natural breathability and have a high potential for trapping heat against the skin while shedding microplastics during wear and laundering.
