Basic V-neck Knitted Cardigan Jacket

I’m the exact same height as the model, Mariana (5'9"), so I ordered the Small as my reference point. I checked the product size chart and saw the S bust is 107cm (about 42.1") and the length is 63cm. Because of the dropped shoulder (55.5cm), that generous bust measurement gave me the exact slouchy, effortless drape shown in the model photos. The V-neck is deep enough to layer over a polo without gaping, and the button front lets me adjust the neckline when I warm up. I wore this for a crisp morning at the driving range and then to a casual lunch; the ribbed cuffs and hem held their shape through my swing, and the side pockets held my phone and a tee. For model-height shoppers who want a cardigan that fits exactly like the photos, this S is spot-on.

I’m 5'8", 150 lbs, with a 39" bust. The L full bust (118cm) put me right at the top, and the button front gave me room to layer a moisture-wicking base underneath on a 5-mile hike. The cozy knit is breathable and warm—it’s a great transitional piece for crisp autumn days. The V-neck and ribbed hem kept their shape, and the side pockets held my phone and keys securely. One gripe: the sleeves create some extra fabric bulk under the arms when you lift them. For casual Friday at the office with a sweater, the blue-and-white combination looks incredibly chic. It’s a great dual-purpose hiking and office layer.

My hips are 44" and my waist is 32", so I ordered L based on the full hem width (92cm). The ribbed hem and relaxed knit fall comfortably over my pear shape without pulling, and the button front lets me adjust the fit through the body. I wore this for a weekend hike and then to casual brunch. The V-neck is flattering and the side pockets were perfect for holding my keys on the trail. However, the sleeves (57cm) run a bit long on my 5'5" frame. Also, the knit is warm, so it’s best for cooler days. If you’re pear-shaped and want hip coverage with a polished look, L works well, but be prepared to baby the lighter color panels.

I’m 5'7", 140 lbs, with a 36" bust and 29" waist. The product chart shows the M full bust is 112cm and the length is 64.5cm, so I was right on the edge—and the button front made it work perfectly, giving me a defined silhouette without feeling tight. I played 18 holes on a chilly morning and then picked up my kids. The V-neck looks so classy over a collared shirt, and the ribbed cuffs and hem held their shape through my swing. The side pockets held my scorecard and a tee. My only complaint: the knit is warm, so on a sunny afternoon it can feel a bit heavy. Still, the fit is true to the size chart, and it’s become a favorite for transitional weather.

Being 5'10", I sized up to M based on the chart. The M length is 64.5cm, which hits right at my high hip. The shoulder width (58cm) and generous full bust (112cm) gave me plenty of room to swing freely during my tennis drill without any pulling across the back. I wore this to casual Friday at the office with dark jeans, and the blue-and-white color-block looks incredibly polished and preppy. The V-neck is flattering and the side pockets are a functional touch. One minor gripe: the sleeves (56cm) are just barely long enough on my tall frame—if you're taller than me, consider sizing up. Still, for tall women who want a refined, versatile cardigan, this M delivers.

I’m 5'3" and 115 lbs. I ordered S, and the full bust is 107cm, giving me a relaxed, sporty look rather than a tight one, which I prefer for tennis. The shoulder width (55.5cm) is definitely a drop-shoulder style. I wore this for a drill on a cold morning and then to run errands; the cozy knit kept my muscles warm between points, and the side pockets held my phone and a spare dampener. My main complaint: the sleeves (55cm) are noticeably long for a petite person—I had to push them up twice, and the ribbed cuffs don’t grip as tightly as I’d like. If you’re petite and want a true fitted look, this isn't it, but it's a great relaxed athletic layer.

I’m apple-shaped with a 40" bust and 34" waist, so I went with L. The product chart shows the L full bust is 118cm (46.5") and the full hem is 92cm. The classic V-neck draws the eye up, and the button front lets me leave it open over a tee for a more relaxed look around my midsection. The ribbed hem sits comfortably without digging in. I wore this for a morning walk with my dog and then to weekend brunch; the side pockets kept my hands warm on the leash, and the cozy knit felt gentle against my skin. The blue-and-white color-block is such a crisp combination. For apple shapes wanting a forgiving, polished layer, this L is a solid buy.

I’m pear-shaped with a 36" bust and 38" hips. The M full hem (86cm) matched me well, and the wide drop shoulders (58cm) allowed for total freedom of movement during overhead smashes on the pickleball court. I wore this for three matches on a chilly morning. The V-neck is a nice detail that keeps the cardigan from looking sloppy, and the side pockets are a genius addition for holding a spare ball and my phone. One minor issue: the cozy knit is not very stretchy, so if you’re between sizes, consider sizing up for layering room.But if you want a polished, cozy layer for court sports, this M is a great choice.

At 5'4", I’m shorter than the model, and since S is the smallest size, I had to take a chance. The product chart shows the S length is 63cm (24.8")—on my petite frame, this hits right below my hips, which is a great proportion over leggings. The shoulder width (55.5cm) is definitely a drop-shoulder look, giving it a relaxed vibe. I wore this for a 9-hole round on a chilly morning and then to school drop-off. The V-neck and button front give it a neat, polished look, and the side pockets are deep enough for my keys. My only complaint: the sleeves (55cm) run a bit long on my shorter arms—I had to push them up once. But for petite golfers who want a cozy layer without drowning in fabric, this S is a solid pick.

I’m 5'9" and 165 lbs with a 41" bust. Based on the product chart, I went with L (Full Bust 118cm / 46.5", Length 66.5cm). The button front and relaxed knit gave me a comfortable, slightly slouchy fit—not tight, but not boxy either. I wore this for casual Friday at the office and then to walk my dog on a windy afternoon. The V-neck is elegant, and the blue-and-white color-block looks so crisp and polished. The side pockets held my phone and dog treats. The knit is warm, so it’s best for cooler days. But since I’m close to the model’s height, the overall fit and length match her photos well, just with a cozy, oversized feel.
