Women's Botanical Floral Print Button-Up Cardigan

A detailed botanical print stands out against the darker background of this women's floral cardigan. The button-front opening provides a clear centre line through the pattern, while the relaxed knit shape keeps the overall silhouette informal. Flowers continue onto the long sleeves, giving the design interest beyond the front panel. It is an option for adding colour to an outfit built around plain wardrobe pieces.

Layer the cardigan over a white top to create a strong contrast, or choose a darker base for a more tonal result. Jeans, plain trousers and uncomplicated skirts all leave room for the botanical print to be the main detail. For accessories, take a colour from one of the flowers rather than adding another pattern. Wear the front open when showing a contrasting layer, or button it to bring the print together across the body.
