Cat Deeley brought a burst of colour to the This Morning studio this week, sporting a chic yellow knit that promises to be the perfect lightweight layer for the spring season.
Cat Deeley's Boden Cardigan Steals the Show
The presenter chose a Cropped Cashmere Cardigan from Boden during Monday's episode of the daytime show, immediately brightening the atmosphere. In sandstone yellow, the 49-year-old proved that knitwear doesn't need to be packed away just because the warmer months are approaching - quite the contrary, in fact.
Elegant, comfortable and effortlessly adaptable, this short-sleeved cardigan is exactly the kind of easy-wear piece that works brilliantly for milder spring conditions.
Details of the Cardigan
The Cropped Cashmere Cardigan is priced at £129. It is also available in misty blue, ash red and pale pink for those who prefer a more understated neutral tone or a gentle pop of colour, as reported by the Mirror.
Made from 100 per cent cashmere and certified by The Good Cashmere Standard, the cardigan boasts short, subtly puffed sleeves and a flattering cropped silhouette that rests at the natural waist. The relaxed fit guarantees comfort and freedom of movement without feeling restrictive, making it ideal for pairing with high-waisted jeans, tailored trousers or flowing midi dresses.
Cat paired her knit with a floral midi skirt from Rixo, though it would look just as stunning with jeans for a relaxed weekend look, or tailored trousers for the office.
Affordable Alternatives
For those eager to replicate Cat's style without spending a fortune, this Vero Moda round neck knitted short sleeve cardigan in golden yellow is available through ASOS for £26. It comes in six colours, featuring a similar round neck design and button detail - though it is worth noting it is crafted from 94 per cent polyester.
Even more budget-friendly is this Threadbare Eyelash knit short sleeve cardigan in yellow for £24, which brings a playful, fluffy texture to any ensemble. Available in sizes 8 to 16 and made from 65 per cent acrylic and 35 per cent polyester, it may not be as luxurious as Cat's cashmere version, but it serves as a delightful alternative nonetheless.
Shopper Reviews
Over at Boden, shoppers have been lavishing praise on Cat's knit, describing it as a 'gorgeous summer cardi'.
One customer wrote: "A very soft comfortable cashmere cardigan. Looks amazing with jeans and trousers, layers well. The length is perfect and it's a perfect size 10."
Another said: "This is adorable. It's so comfortable as well. I have bigger upper arms than the model so I sized up so that the sleeve cuff would feel roomy instead of snug and I was right."
A third wrote: "Gorgeous summer cardi. I'm usually a size 10 and 5'2" but the XS was perfect for me."
That said, a handful of customers felt the fit was slightly short, with one observing: "Beautiful colour, very soft cashmere, just a little bit too short on the crop. An extra inch would have worked better."
