"JIL SANDER" 10’s minimalist satin covered buttons wool cardigan

Rooted in thorough minimalism, Jil Sander has established elegance solely through the precision of materials and structure. Here, we introduce a piece that quietly inherits the atmosphere of Raf Simons' era, elevating everyday wear to semi-formal levels.

A cardigan that maintains its presence through the beauty of space.

The front is designed with a shallow V-neckline, creating a clean line around the neck while maintaining a sense of calm. Whether worn with a shirt or a T-shirt underneath, the outline remains intact. The shell buttons are aligned along the placket, and their delicate satin-like sheen naturally guides the eye vertically, creating depth even in a single color.

The body features a smooth surface typical of high-gauge wool, with a matte texture that does not overly reflect skin or light, allowing the strength of the black color to settle elegantly. The line from the shoulders to the sleeves is efficient, quietly following the body's movement, making it reliable even when worn as a substitute for a jacket. The hem is lightly tensioned for a neat fit, and patch pockets at the waist add functionality while softening the appearance, which is a pleasing detail.

The credibility of the era is also clear, as the printed item number code on the quality label indicates Spring/Summer 2013, suggesting this item was planned for the 2013 SS collection. The consistency between the Italian manufacturing label and the domestic agency label also reflects the transitional period when Raf Simons was shifting to the founding designer, capturing a tense minimalism. The choice of shell buttons, which subtly add elegance through texture within a pared-down design, is truly characteristic of Jil Sander of this era.

Especially recommended for those who want to refine their everyday attire but wish to avoid obvious statements, this piece quietly encourages good posture each time you pick it up, making it a long-lasting companion.

In terms of styling, pairing a shirt with slacks and treating a cardigan like a jacket highlights the beauty of the structure, creating a neat and polished look. Layering over a dress or long skirt to create vertical lines introduces a mode-like sense of space regardless of gender. Additionally, pairing non-too-tight pants with a leather bag balances textures, resulting in a minimal yet deep presence.

Definitely take this opportunity.
