A plain cardigan is useful, and almost never memorable!

Just imagine the same easy V-neck knit you already rely on, finished with a row of small gold hearts down the front — one detail, and suddenly it is a piece rather than a basic. Now stop imagining, because the Nancy puts its whole personality into its buttons.

• Gold Heart Buttons
  Small polished heart-shaped buttons run the length of the placket in warm gold. They catch the light against every colourway. It is the kind of detail people comment on.
• Flattering V Neckline
  The V opens softly at the chest, lengthening the neck and making room for a necklace. It sits well over a camisole or a shell top. It is far kinder than a high crew neck.
• Smooth Fine Knit
  The yarn is soft and closely knitted, with a clean surface that shows the buttons off properly. It drapes rather than standing away. It also layers easily under a coat.
• Ribbed Edges
  Cuffs, hem and placket are all firmly ribbed so the piece keeps its shape. The front edges stay flat rather than rolling. Sleeves pushed up stay pushed up.
• Five Rich Colors
  Violet, gray, pink, red and navy — the gold reads beautifully against all five. Red and violet are the boldest; gray and navy the easiest. Every one keeps the same heart buttons.

The difference between useful and memorable is usually one detail. The Nancy keeps the comfortable V-neck you would have chosen anyway and adds a row of gold hearts — which is why it is the one you notice in the closet each morning.
