Classic College Spirit Meets Vintage Elegance in This New Cardigan from Emmy Design
A brand-new cardigan style has arrived – radiating timeless college charm with a touch of 1950s elegance.
The beautiful cable knit and deep V-neckline evoke images of campus strolls with books under your arm and coffee in hand. The silhouette is timeless and feminine, yet with a subtly relaxed feel that makes it wonderfully versatile.
Designed with raglan sleeves, it creates a soft shoulder line and a flattering fit. The body is slightly longer than Emmy Design’s signature cardigans – both as a deliberate style choice and to accommodate those with a longer torso.
It is knitted in an exclusive cotton quality with a hint of cashmere, offering a soft and luxurious feel against the skin. The fabric makes it comfortable year-round – light enough for spring and summer, yet perfect for layering during the transitional seasons.
Style the Cable Knit College Cardigan with a 1930s-inspired skirt, high-waisted 1950s trousers, or pair it with modern jeans for a contemporary twist on retro style.
A cardigan that beautifully combines vintage charm, comfort, and effortless elegance.
Material: 95% cotton & 5% cashmere

Mondo Kaos guide
Why we love The Cable Knit College Cardigan in Dusty Blue
Perfect for layering
Wear it over dresses, with high-waisted jeans or together with a skirt for a feminine and wearable look.
All year round
A good knit or cardigan is a favourite you can wear on cool summer days, through transitional seasons and all winter long.
Styling tip
Use knitwear and cardigans as the soft layer over dresses, blouses, jeans or skirts. It adds both warmth and vintage feeling.
Era inspiration
Inspired by the feminine retro look of the 1950s, with a defined waist, soft shapes and styling that works beautifully with shirts, cardigans and pretty accessories.
Find the right vintage cardigan
Our vintage-inspired cardigans feature feminine fits and classic details, making them easy to pair with dresses, skirts and high-waisted trousers. The styles are primarily inspired by 1940s and 1950s fashion, when short, fitted cardigans, delicate knit patterns, embroidery and feminine sleeves were characteristic of the era.
We always recommend checking the bust, waist and length measurements of each individual style rather than simply choosing your usual size. Some vintage cardigans have a close, fitted silhouette, while others are designed with a looser cut. The fabric composition also affects how much the cardigan stretches. Choose the retro cardigan that suits your desired look—from a simple everyday cardigan to a short, feminine style worn over a dress or a classic look inspired by the 1940s and 1950s.
Most of our cardigans from brands such as Emmy Design and Weekend Doll are cut at the waist, so they look best with high-waisted trousers and skirts or worn over dresses.
Cardigans from Emmy Design are primarily made from merino wool and should therefore preferably be hand-washed or simply aired, as wool is self-cleaning. If you want a cardigan that can be machine-washed, choose one made from cotton, such as those from Palava.
A cardigan can be a lovely alternative to a jacket worn over a dress when it is fitted and cut at the waist.
Wear your cardigan as a top by buttoning it all the way up to the neck, or wear it open over a top or dress. This gives you a versatile garment that can be styled in several different ways.
