The Jody Lace Cardigan in Black is an open-front knit cardigan in deep true black with intricate lace detail at the sleeves, built to anchor year-round professional and evening layering. The piece is part of the Jody Lace capsule in Black and is built for executive layering over silk camisoles, evening layering over cocktail dresses, and the woman who wants a cardigan that elevates beyond standard black knitwear.

Fabric
Botanical fiber knit in deep true black with intricate lace detail worked through the sleeves, finished cleanly at the open-front hem and ribbed edges. The botanical fiber knit drapes softly without losing shape across long days, the lace is the same family that defines the Jody Lace blazers, dresses, and jumpsuits in black, and the open-front silhouette layers fluidly over silk camisoles, dresses, and Luna tailoring. Handcrafted in the Luna atelier in Pozarevac, Serbia, in limited batches. Designed in Europe. Ships from California.

Fit
The Jody Cardigan runs to a European-inspired fit; most clients size down one. Size up if you prefer additional ease through the shoulders or want to layer over a structured blazer. Open-front silhouette without closure, lace sleeve detail. Refer to the Luna sizing guide for measurements. Model is 5 foot 9 inches wearing size 3.

Styling
Worn over the Jody Lace Cocktail Dress in Black for evening tonal black capsule dressing across the silhouette.
Layered with the Jody Lace Jumpsuit in Black for evening jumpsuit-and-cardigan dressing in the same color family.
Or with the Jody Tailored Lace Blazer in Black for layered Jody Lace dressing where structure meets knit.
Over the Barbara Wide-Leg Pants in Black and a fine silk camisole for refined executive day-to-night layering.
Or the Agatha High Waisted Wide Leg Pants in Ivory for ivory-and-black contrast where the black cardigan reads as the structured top.
Carried with the Jody Lace Clutch Bag in Black to extend the lace family to the accessory line.
Coordinate metal tone consistently: silver and satin hardware read modern with the black lace; pearl reads traditional and classic.

Care
Botanical fiber knit with lace detail. Dry clean only. Do not bleach. Store folded rather than hanging to preserve the shoulder line; hanging stretches knit cardigans across years of wear. Steam to refresh between wears. Iron at low temperature through a press cloth if needed.
