Oxford Cropped Ribbed Cardigan
The knit
A cropped ribbed cardigan in a fine knit
A fine rib in viscose with a touch of stretch has a smooth, slightly silky handle and fits neatly.
It is fine enough to layer under a blazer or a coat without bulk, and the vertical rib lengthens the body.
Hand wash cool or use a gentle cycle, then dry flat, and it keeps its neat shape wear after wear.
The Oxford cardigan is cropped to sit at the waist, which makes it the perfect partner for high-waisted jeans, wide trousers, slip skirts and summer dresses. The fine knit feels light and soft, so it gives just enough warmth for cool mornings, air-conditioned offices and breezy evenings without feeling bulky. It is a simple, classic piece that you will reach for in every season.
The details
Small buttons and a round neck
A row of small, tonal buttons sits close together, so the cardigan looks smart done up as a top.
Open it over a camisole or a slip dress for a softer look.
The round neck sits neatly at the base of the neck: a classic, grown-up detail that suits every age. Add pearl earrings for a polished finish. It is truly timeless.
Small buttons and a neat round neck give it a delicate, vintage-inspired look, and you can wear it buttoned as a top or open over a vest or a camisole. The rib hugs the figure gently and keeps its shape through the day, so it looks neat from morning to evening. Pair it with gold jewellery and loafers for a polished, timeless outfit.
The fit
Slim and cropped, S and M
The bust measures 84 cm on the S and 88 cm on the M, stretching for comfort, and the length is 49 to 50 cm, finishing at the waist.
It is perfect with high-waisted trousers and midi skirts, and the ideal desk cardigan when the air conditioning is too cold.

White, black, heather grey, royal blue, navy and camel make it easy to find a shade that suits your wardrobe, and many customers buy two or three. Hand wash cool or use the wool cycle, reshape while damp and dry flat to keep the rib smooth and the cropped length even. It is a versatile basic that brings a finished look to simple outfits and makes a lovely gift.
From Maria & Denis
A cropped ribbed cardigan is the neat, polished layer every wardrobe needs — a fine ribbed knit with a round neck and a row of small buttons, cut to finish at the waist.
White, black, heather grey, royal blue, navy or camel, in sizes S and M. Wear it buttoned as a top, or open over a dress; it has the neat, classic style of a college cardigan.
Why you will love it
A fine, soft rib with a gentle stretch.
A round neck and a row of small buttons.
A slim, cropped cut that finishes at the waist.
Perfect over dresses, slips and camisoles.
Six colours, sizes S and M.
Fabric & care
Hand wash cool or use the wool cycle, inside out. Reshape while damp and dry flat — hanging a wet knit stretches the shoulders. No tumble dryer.
Fold rather than hang between wears; a jumper kept on a hanger slowly grows longer.

Questions and answers
How do I choose my size in this cardigan?
It comes in sizes S to M. The size guide on this page gives measurements of the cardigan itself, taken flat: bust, shoulder width, sleeve length and length. Measure a similar cardigan you own, laid flat, and compare it with the chart; free UK delivery and 30 days to return give you time to check the fit at home.
How do I wash this cardigan without it shrinking?
Hand wash cool or use the wool cycle, inside out. Reshape while damp and dry flat — hanging a wet knit stretches the shoulders. No tumble dryer.
How do I style this cardigan?
Button it up and wear it on its own as a top, or leave it open over a T-shirt or a slip dress. With jeans and trainers it looks relaxed; with tailored trousers and loafers it is ready for the office.
How do I remove bobbles from this cardigan?
Bobbles form where the fabric rubs, under the arms, at the cuffs and where a bag strap sits. Lay the cardigan flat and glide a fabric shaver or a knit comb lightly over the area; pulling bobbles off by hand loosens the fibres. Washing inside out with similar soft fabrics slows them down.
