After many requests for an honest review on the cult favourite Gaspard Cardigan (aka vest or jumper) from Paris-based brand Sézane, I’ve finally collected all my thoughts for you!

This piece was originally sent as a PR gift for me to try and has been in my closet for just over a year now. After lots of wears, I can certainly understand why so many people around the world are fans of this Parisienne classic. The Gaspard is one of few truly season-less items I’ve come across and it’s particularly well poised for these transitional months.

Let’s get right into it and take a look at:

• The Quick Facts (price, colours, sizes, composition etc.)
• Why I Like It (ie: the design details that matter)
• How it can be worn (+ a few ways I’ve styled it)

Allons-y mes amis!

MADE IN: Italy | Learn more about where Sèzane garments are produced here.

FABRIC COMPOSITION: 37% super kid mohair / 37% alpaca / 26% polyamide

HAND FEEL: This knit is incredibly soft. I’d say it feels even softer on the skin than cashmere or baby alpaca. For me it’s no issue to wear it directly over a bra, although I typically layer over a fitted t-shirt.

WARMTH: This knit is surprisingly cozy for how light it feels, which alpaca wool is known for. In the cold months I find that the Gaspard worn over a fitted long sleeve is plenty warm enough to wear around our chilly house. Then, in the spring and summer it’s perfect over a sleeveless top or slip dress when you need something for an air conditioned space or a breezy evening.

OPACITY: I’m wearing the Ecru (similar to an ivory) and it’s slightly sheer. I’d happily wear it with just a nude bra underneath, however, I purposely wore a white t-shirt under for these photos so you can see what it looks like on top. Scroll down to see more. I expect that the other colours are more opaque.

CARE: Hand wash in cold water (I use a small amount of this wool conditioner), dry flat to maintain shape.
