Ivory knit scattered with shimmery pink sequin bows, cropped, with a bow tie front that cinches it all together. This is the cardigan for anyone who refuses to pick between cozy and dressed-up.
A coquette cardigan that isn't costume
Bows came back to knitwear this season, and most of what followed is thin acrylic in a size that fits nobody. This one is a 50/50 wool and polyester blend, so it delivers actual warmth rather than decorative warmth — and the sequin bows are worked into an ivory ground rather than stuck on top of it.
That's the difference between a cardigan you wear once for a photo and one you reach for through fall and winter. If the softer, more romantic end of dressing is your thing, our coquette accessories guide covers how to wear bows and pearls without tipping into costume.
Three ways to wear it
- Open, over a white tank and jeans — the version you'll use most. Sparkle on top, denim underneath, done
- Tied closed over a slip dress — cocktail hour, holiday party, dinner out. The bow front gives it shape, so it reads as a top rather than a layer
- Open over a fitted black turtleneck and trousers — the winter-workwear version. See what to wear to a fall cocktail party
The cropped, relaxed cut means it layers over slip dresses, blouses, and fitted tees without adding bulk. It's the piece that makes school drop-off and after-work drinks the same outfit.
What to wear with it
Sweaters and jewelry are their own puzzle — our guide to what jewelry to wear with sweaters covers the cold-weather rules.
For the matching-bow version, the Gold Bow Stud Earrings ($58) keep it quiet, the Pink Sparkle Bow Earrings with Glitter Heart ($48) pick up the pink, and the Gold Pearl Wreath Bow Earrings ($68) add pearl. Pearls are the natural partner here — see our modern pearl jewelry guide — and a Black Knotted Headband with Pearl and Crystal ($78) finishes it.
Going bolder? The Pink Crystal Heart & Bow Brooch ($138) pinned to the front turns the cardigan into the whole outfit.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will the sequins fall off in the wash?
Not if you skip the machine. Hand wash in cold water with a gentle detergent and lay flat to dry, or dry clean. It's the agitation and heat of a washing machine and dryer that loosen sequin embellishment over time — that's true of any sequined knit, and it's the single thing that determines whether a piece like this lasts one season or several.
Is it warm enough for winter?
Yes. The 50% wool content means real warmth, not the decorative kind you get from a thin acrylic knit. The cropped cut keeps it from feeling heavy, so it layers over a slip dress or a fitted tee without bulk.
How does it fit?
Cropped with a relaxed body and full-length blouson sleeves, designed to be worn open or tied loosely. That makes it forgiving across sizes. Order your true size for the intended fit, or size up if you want room to layer over a button-down or chunky knit. JuJu wears the L at bust 42", waist 34.5", hip 44.5".
Can I wear it to a wedding or holiday party?
Yes — tied closed over a slip skirt or dress with heels, or open over a fitted turtleneck and trousers. The sequin bows supply the sparkle, so keep the rest simple and let the cardigan lead. Our wedding guest jewelry guide covers what to wear with it.
Is a bow cardigan too young for me?
The bow reads juvenile in thin pastel acrylic. In an ivory wool blend, cropped, with a tailored bow-tie front, it reads considered. Scale and fabric are what separate a coquette piece from a costume piece — the same principle in our coquette accessories guide.
Does it make a good gift?
It's the sort of thing someone loves but wouldn't buy for herself, which is most of what makes a good gift. It wraps well and suits birthdays, holidays, and milestones. You can pair it with a Surprise Me JuJu Gift Box (from $115). With two left, though, it's first come.
Do you offer free shipping?
Yes — shipping is free on every order, no minimum.
