I paid a little for it, but I really just wear it on the commute so it suits me for that. I have a coral colour but they have emerald green too.&nbsp;</p> <p>Pure also do good ones too - cropped, 3/4 sleeves etc - but again I am not sure if Pure is a UK brand only. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hewi-summer-cardigan#post-2031623 Fri, 31 May 2019 20:52:45 +0000 elpgal 2031623@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I run very hot as well and my cardigans are to appease my conservative coworkers more than personal modesty or AC. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hewi-summer-cardigan#post-2031566 Fri, 31 May 2019 18:34:39 +0000 Anonymous 2031566@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I dislike cardigans in general as looking old-lady, so, poison eye. I do have a few for summer because they can be carried in a bag easily. I like a linen or something that will not absorb moisture in a loose breezy weave and am moving toward woven ponchos instead of cardigans.<br /> My cardigans are from EF and the long Halogen ones that Robin has a find for. I tried cotton in a light weight, short sleeves and in a crochet elbow sleeve open knit and hated them as too warm. They are ok for spring and fall if a bit chilly and would be good for cold air conditioning . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hewi-summer-cardigan#post-2031522 Fri, 31 May 2019 16:41:57 +0000 Gretchen 2031522@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another vote for both Halogen (longer) and Boden (shorter). You might also check on Brooks brothers. Their red fleece brand often has simple cardigans and high quality.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hewi-summer-cardigan#post-2031503 Fri, 31 May 2019 15:29:28 +0000 RobinF 2031503@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have had some luck with Halogen and Susina petites from Nordstrom, although mine are long. I love lightweight sweaters for summer A/C. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hewi-summer-cardigan#post-2031379 Fri, 31 May 2019 01:00:33 +0000 Becky 2031379@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also have the cardigan ChristelJ posted, and enjoy it as a summer cardigan. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hewi-summer-cardigan#post-2031378 Fri, 31 May 2019 00:46:55 +0000 Christina F. 2031378@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Here is a pic of me in my Boden cardigan. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hewi-summer-cardigan#post-2031374 Fri, 31 May 2019 00:09:51 +0000 Anonymous 2031374@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No- the beige says pointelle ( I think) and the black DB (I think)-pics being sloooow to upload. The beige I think was from Marshalls and the black probably consignment-but Macys tends to have similar in the dress section.<br /> I have other cardis, inc Halogen, but these are the lightweight two. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hewi-summer-cardigan#post-2031369 Thu, 30 May 2019 23:56:09 +0000 elpgal 2031369@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks ChristelJ and Angie! The one with the ribbon trim looks interesting.</p> <p>Suntiger, are yours Nic+Zoe? I like the black one. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hewi-summer-cardigan#post-2031356 Thu, 30 May 2019 23:16:57 +0000 Anonymous 2031356@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have these two- the black is just a thin little jacket though, and both are from last year (I think) so no finds! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hewi-summer-cardigan#post-2031336 Thu, 30 May 2019 22:07:09 +0000 Angie 2031336@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I echo the fabness go the Boden cardigans. Clients love them.</p> <p>Nic &amp; Zoe cardigans are popular Summer cardigans too:</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="https://shop.nordstrom.com/sr?origin=keywordsearch&amp;keyword=nic+%26+zoe+cardigan">https://shop.nordstrom.com/sr?.....e+cardigan</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hewi-summer-cardigan#post-2031273 Thu, 30 May 2019 17:32:08 +0000 ChristelJ 2031273@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I actually have the Boden one Christina shows above, in white, and like it. Also, I love Halogen cardigans from Nordstrom. I scrunch the long sleeved ones up. They do carry petite sizes but it is hit and miss if you can find your size in the color you like.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hewi-summer-cardigan#post-2031271 Thu, 30 May 2019 17:13:17 +0000 elpgal 2031271@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm..not sure. Too stiff and it stands away from my chest. I like to define my waist or at least hint at it. Too drapey and it tents out...</p> <p>I’ll try both of these for sure!I wish I had thought to post earlier. Just placed a huge order from boden this past weekend. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hewi-summer-cardigan#post-2031270 Thu, 30 May 2019 16:43:39 +0000 ChristelJ 2031270@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm not clear- do you want drape or structured?<br />If drape is ok, my favorite is an awesome workhorse in linen, petite, and 3/4 sleeves. I have it in white and pink. Couldn't live without it.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hewi-summer-cardigan#post-2031263 Thu, 30 May 2019 16:18:15 +0000 Christina F. 2031263@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love mine from Boden. They have a style with a different name (Amelia) this year but it looks very similar.ETA - per the comment below, I'm not sure if you want drape either. Obviously, this doesn't drape so YMMV.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hewi-summer-cardigan#post-2031261 Thu, 30 May 2019 16:13:29 +0000 elpgal 2031261@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>In our hot and humid climate, I tend to wear a lot of sleeveless tops to work and keep a cardigan around to wear to meetings or really any time I step out of my office. </p> <p>Because of my bust, coatigans or toppers without drape done work well. Long cardigans look dumpy on me. </p> <p>I had a slew of Ann Taylor cardigans which that end up looking shabbyvery quickly but I keep buying they fit well. </p> <p>What are your favorite summer cardigans? I am open to a higher price point as long as they satisfy these criteria:</p> <p>- must be cropped or come in petite lengths.<br /> - round or V neck are both fine<br /> - 3/4 length sleeves </p>
