Soft • Cropped • Quietly Sweet
A citron knit cardigan finished with a ruffled peplum hem.

The Hinoki Journal

A cardigan with a little flourish at the end.

The color arrives first — a soft chartreuse that reads warm against almost everything, more olive in low light and more gold in the sun. The knit is brushed and lightweight, with a deep V and functional buttons down the front, and then the hem gathers into a short ruffled peplum that gives the whole thing a lift. Sleeves fall long and slightly full, and the body sits cropped and close without pulling.

Why It Found Its Way to Hinoki

Cardigans are easy to have too many of. This one is worth the space for the color alone, and the ruffle keeps it from disappearing into the pile.

Hinoki Fit Notes

This cardigan runs true to size with a close, cropped fit through the body. Size up for a softer, roomier drape.

✦ Amy's Styling Tip

I wear this buttoned on its own as a top, tucked into a dark leather or denim skirt so the ruffle sits right at the waist — the citron does all the work from there.

Hinoki Care Suggestions

Hand wash cold and lay flat to dry. Reshape while damp.
