I’m a shopping writer, and this ‘stylish’ cardigan is an absolute must-have for fall — it’s on sale for under $20

One thing about me: I love an Amazon deal. From their viral less than $50 dresses to the retailer’s affordable anti-aging skincare, an Amazon package arrives at my home more than I (or my wallet) would like to admit.

Now, with seasons changing, I can’t wait to explore all the fall fashion Amazon has in store. As much as I try to practice shopping self-control, it’s hard when something you love, like the CHICALLURE Cardigan, goes on sale.

As one of today’s deals, shoppers can save 35 per cent on my go-to lightweight cardigan. It was already affordable, but at its $17 sale price, I might just have to pick up another (or two or three). To see why it’s a fall staple in my wardrobe and shop the limited-time deal, scroll below for all the details.

Amazon

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! 

From $17 at Amazon

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: 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.

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.

💬 2,800+ reviews

🏆 “It’s light and a pretty addition to a spring summer or fall outfit.”

“Lightweight” and “versatile” are how many Amazon shoppers describe this “elegant” smock.

One shopper complimented 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 stylish 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 fall cover-up I reach for. And for just $17, I am itching to add more to my cart. However, I 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!
