SS or 3/4 sleeve cardigans

[ssmjlm]

I need to replace some of my ss cardigans for summer. My office is cold with the ac, so I live in cardigans over my dresses.

I've checked Loft, Lands End, and Talbots. Either no SS cardigan or no black (I really need a new black one).

Other suggestions? The ON ones look too short for me since they're cropped.

I saw some at Target, but I didn't try them on so I can't say how they fit. They had lots of colors.

Yeah my target ones haven't worn well at all.

Anyone have any of the nordstrom halogen cardigans?

I have the Nordstrom Halogen ones, they are good basics.

I have 3/4 sleeve ones from Lands End Canvas and love them. I have white and navy. I got them on sale for $20.

I have some of Loft's SS and 3/4 and I really prefer the 3/4. It's a fabulous length - looks more polished than the SS, but is still really sheer so you're not too hot.

You didn't list BR. They have their SS ones out for summer. 90% sure there's a black - there was last summer and the summer before that. They're a very sheer fabric as well.

Me too, I have several and am happy with them.

I bought a v-neck black SS cardi from Loft a month or so ago. I don't see it on their website, but Loft does has crew-neck SS in black on their site. www.loft.com/loft/catalog/productDetails.jsp?prodId=276686&colorExplode=false&skuId=10810736&catid=catl000012&productPageType=fullPriceProducts&defaultColor=6600&prodId=276686

Isn't the J.Crew jackie 3/4th sleeve?

I got the same one.

Thanks ladies, unfortunately both BR and Loft didn't have my size in black.

I just ordered 2 from nordstrom, 1 elbow length and one 3/4 sleeve.

I actually have some LE Canvas ones from last fall, but sadly they have not held up as well as I would have thought.

They will replace them for free, just call and talk to them. I have had no issues. I wash them in cold and hang dry and they are over a year old and still look good.
