Margo Red Cardigan – Gold Heart Button V-Neck Knit

A deep red fuzzy-knit cardigan with a soft V-neckline and hammered gold heart buttons — two down the front, three on each cuff. Midweight, so it layers over a tee or wears as a top on its own. $42 at Adelyne’s Boutique & Gifts in Tomball, Texas.

• The buttons are the whole point. Gold hammered hearts, on the front and running up the cuffs — a detail people ask about.
• A red that isn’t loud. Deep and slightly brick rather than fire-engine, which is why it works past Valentine’s and through the holidays.
• Soft brushed knit with a touch of wool in the blend for warmth.
• V-neck that lays flat over a tee, tank or dress.

Product details

When to wear it

Valentine’s Day and Galentine’s, of course — but also Christmas, game day, and any winter day that needs a little color. Over white denim in early fall, over black trousers for the office.

Frequently asked questions

What color is it?

Deep red — closer to brick or wine than bright red, which makes it easier to wear year-round.

Tell me about the buttons.

Hammered gold-tone metal hearts: two at the front closure and three stacked on each cuff.

Does it have wool?

5% wool in a mostly polyester and acrylic blend — warm without the itch.

Is it just for Valentine’s Day?

No. The heart buttons are subtle enough that it reads as a good red cardigan first and a Valentine’s piece second.

Where can I buy it?

Online at shopadelynes.com or in our boutique in Tomball, Texas.
