What do you guys think of this cardigan? Saw it in a local store and am very tempted to buy it.

It looks nice. It's quite conservative, in both style and color. The collar is only very minimally a shawl collar, and will give a less casual, more buttoned-down, and older look than most other shawl collars. Since the shawl doesn't reach far down, even unbuttoning won't contribute much toward making it more casual. The white Fred Perry logo is of course in high contrast to the black of the sweater, so that will also be a part of the overall look.

The model in the picture demonstrates the sweater well. There's a seriousness to it, and some echoes of school uniforms.

If you're looking for something conservative to when wear reading by the fireplace or lounging with friends, this fits the bill. The black will look sharp especially in a largely colorless palette with white and grey. It will set pastels (pink, lavender, powder blue shirts) in a more intense contrast. It will be more difficult to match this sweater with browns and earth tones, and bright colors may receive too much contrast with it.

Really like it.

I like it.
