The Scandi Cardigan is a Modern Classic with Nordic Lightness and Vintage Soul from Emmy Design
The Scandi Summer Cardi is back – carefully coordinated with the SS26 collection and designed to pair beautifully with both this season’s new arrivals and your favourites from previous collections.
This V-neck cardigan has already become a true wardrobe staple. Knitted in soft wool with delicate lace-knit details, inspired by 1930s–50s knitwear traditions, it beautifully combines functionality with feminine retro style.
The waist-length cut enhances the silhouette and makes it ideal for high-waisted skirts and trousers – just the way we love it in the vintage universe. It is light enough to carry in your bag and perfect to drape over your shoulders on cool summer evenings, yet equally elegant as a layering piece throughout the rest of the year.
A cardigan that embodies Scandinavian simplicity with a distinct historical nod to classic vintage fashion.
Material: 100% superfine merino wool.

Mondo Kaos guide
Why we love The Scandi Summer Cardi in Linen
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 simple and functional silhouettes of the 1940s, with clean lines and a feminine everyday feel.
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.
