I have been living in this $26 Amazon cardigan. Why? It's figure-flattering and doesn't wrinkle
It comes in over 30 prints and sizes small to 3XL.
During the summer, I live in tank tops, so I'm often chilly walking through grocery stores and office buildings blasting their central air. Therefore, having a cover-up that I can throw in my bag is essential for my hot-to-cold survival.
During this year's Prime Day event, I saw this bestselling lightweight cardigan on sale on Amazon, and I knew I had to snag it for summer. I’ve been wearing it non-stop since it arrived, and truly, I love it. The instructions say to hand-wash, but I threw it right in the washer with my colours and ran it on cold, and it was fine. It was stuffed at the bottom of my bag on a recent trip to the beach, and when I pulled it out, it was fabulously wrinkle-free. Read my full review below to see if this "versatile" kimono is worth adding to your cart, too.
This lightweight cardigan is great for running errands or a day at the beach. Available in over 30 different designs and colours, good luck ordering only one!

The details
This comfortable and lightweight cardigan is made of easy-to-clean and wrinkle-free chiffon fabric.
With its open front design, bum-grazing back and elbow-length sleeves, you get coverage in all the right places.
Available in sizes small to 3XL, this stylish kimono looks great on all body types.
Pair it with a cute tank and jeans for a night out or over a bathing suit during a day at the beach; the possibilities are endless with this flowy frock. Plus, it comes in 35 designs, so there's a good chance you'll find something you like.
Just make sure you don't throw it in the washing machine, as this delicate shirt is hand wash only.
What I like about it
It's wrinkle-free, baby: I don't have time to iron my clothes, so this wrinkle-free kimono is perfect. My son literally stuffed it in the bottom of our beach bag, underneath towels and toys, and when I retrieved it, there was not a wrinkle to be seen.
It's long in the back: I like that it provides a bit more coverage in the bum area, which makes it a great option for the beach.

CHICALLURE Summer Cardigan
Easy to clean: The instructions say that it's hand-wash only, but I had no problem washing it in the washing machine on cold. Just be sure to air-dry it and you are golden.
I can wear it everywhere: The beach, running errands, a girl's night out—the possibilities are endless!
Room for improvement:
It runs big: If I had one complaint, it would be that the cardigan runs a bit big. I got it in a small, but I wish they offered an extra-small size.
A clasp in the front would be a nice addition: I wore the kimono the other day with a brown belt just to keep it closed while shopping. A little clasp or button that allows you to close the front would be great.

🏆 "Perfect for summer."
"Lightweight" and "versatile" are how many Amazon shoppers describe this "elegant" smock.
One shopper commented that it's "perfect for summer," complimenting the "flattering" cut of the "true-to-size" cover-up.
Another reviewer appreciated the "breathable" lightweight material and loved how it "dresses up" an outfit.
The three-quarter-sleeve kimono was very well received by another who, now that she's older, likes to cover her arms with a "pretty" shawl like this.
One person mentioned that while they were impressed with the cardigan's "wonderful details;" however, they wished there was a "tiny hook" or "button fastener" on the front.
Another person described the sleeved shawl as just "okay," while someone else said they "look like pyjamas."
The verdict
As I sit here writing this I'm wearing my cute cardigan and am so happy. It dresses up any outfit and because a lot of what I own is black, the design I chose goes with everything I wear. The fact that it's totally wrinkle-free makes it the first summer cover-up I reach for. I do wish there was a way to fasten the front but it's not the end of the world. A cute belt or solid sash works well in a pinch.
