Our brushed cardigan is back in Pink (it sold out fast last year, so don't wait), alongside two new colours: Blue and Black, all finished with beautiful gold buttons and all $199 AUD.
Knitted in a brushed yarn, it offers luxurious softness, warmth, and effortless versatility, perfect for relaxed, stylish layering.
Inspired by the styling we’ve been drawn to recently, from fashion week street style to Pinterest mood boards and influencer looks, we’ve explored a few ways to wear this cardigan now.
Look 1: Midi Skirt & Strong Black Accessories
For this look, the cardigan is worn untucked and styled with bold black accessories such as boots and a shoulder bag.
Our take features a layered tulle midi skirt from Maje, adding a beautiful contrast in texture against the brushed yarn. A chic, simple bag from The Row keeps the look refined, while tortoiseshell aviator sunglasses introduce another layer of visual interest.
Look 2: Soft Knits with Jewel-Tone Accents
We were inspired by how jewel tones, deep red and forest green work so beautifully with pale blue and pink. This is exactly why pulling together a quick mood board can be so helpful: unexpected colour combinations often come to life through imagery.
A Jil Sander deep red bag and Nike sneakers provide the perfect colour accents. We paired these with pale blue, washed relaxed jeans and finished the look with gold accessories, including Celine sunglasses.
Look 3: Tonal Outfitting, Perfect Proportions
We’ve referenced this image before, and for good reason, a tonal black and grey palette never dates. When the proportions are right, it feels endlessly chic.
Here, we’ve chosen a mid-black wash wide-leg jean to soften contrast and kept accessories elevated with timeless gold detailing. A Balmain bag (firmly on our wish list), Celine sunglasses, and YSL loafers complete the look, all investment pieces designed to last.

FAQs
What is a brushed cardigan?
A brushed cardigan is knitted from yarn that has been mechanically brushed to raise the fibres, creating a soft, fluffy texture with extra warmth. It sits between a standard knit and a mohair in terms of feel.
How do you style a brushed cardigan?
A brushed cardigan works best when the rest of the outfit contrasts in texture. Pair it with structured fabrics like denim, leather, or tulle rather than other soft knits, which can read as too casual. Keep silhouettes balanced: a relaxed cardigan looks best with a more fitted or tailored bottom.
What do you wear with a pink cardigan?
Pink cardigans pair surprisingly well with strong, dark accessories. Black boots, a structured bag, and tortoiseshell sunglasses stop the look from reading too soft. For a bolder take, try deep red or forest green accessories.
What do you wear with a blue cardigan?
A blue cardigan in a soft, muted tone works beautifully with relaxed denim in a similar wash for a tonal look, or with jewel-toned accessories like deep red or forest green for contrast. Gold accessories keep the palette warm rather than cool.
What do you wear with a black cardigan?
A black brushed cardigan is one of the most versatile pieces you can own. Style it tonally with charcoal or grey wide-leg trousers for an elevated, minimal look, or use it as a grounding layer against softer colours like blush or cream.
Is a brushed cardigan warm enough for winter?
The brushed texture traps warmth more effectively than a standard knit, making it a good transitional layer for autumn and early winter. For colder days, layer it over a fitted long-sleeve or under a coat.
