Mongalon Cropped Tweed-Trimmed Cotton-Blend Cardigan

It isn't hard to see the vintage inspiration behind this Maje cardigan; notice the braided tweed trims (modernised by the brightly contrasting colourway), shimmering gold-toned buttons and boxy silhouette. Brought bang up-to-date thanks to the cropped hemline, this short-sleeved knit is spun from a cotton-heavy blend that'll keep you cool (in all senses of the word) from spring right through til autumn.

• 53% cotton, 45% polyamide, 2% elastane; trim: 69% cotton, 17% polyester, 8% acrylic, 3% viscose, 3% polyamide

Marrying everyday luxury with a nonchalant elegance, Maje helped popularise the now-iconic 'French' look, and continues to be a touchstone for effortless Parisian style.
