I Wore This High-Street Cardigan in Milan—Everyone Asked Me Which Designer It Was From

Understated, polished, minimalist—these are the cornerstones of my personal aesthetic. The quietening of fashion is a theme that I’ve fully embraced, with a focus on simplistic style that feels highly elevated no matter the price point. When it comes to more muted styles that don’t rely on loud colours or extravagant embellishments the finer details of cut, silhouette and fabric are even more important to retain a high-end feel. It can be easy to assume that those design details also come with a matching high price tag, but as a shopping editor, one of my special skills is hunting down refined pieces on the high street. On a recent trip to Milan, one new addition to my wardrobe awarded me the most compliments and questions on where this designer piece was from. In fact, it’s the Nobody’s Child Ribbed Long Line Cardigan.

You probably already know Nobody’s Child for its elevated dress selection, but fashion insiders know that this is a brand that can do it all. Case in point, this polished cardigan. What makes this such an elevated addition to any wardrobe is the considered approach to the design.
