Some of us know the exact distance between our front door and the ocean; for me, it’s one hour and ten minutes. If I’m ever feeling out of step with myself, I know just where to go to make things right. Tideline reminds me of the shoreline on my favorite beaches – that spot on the beach where the sand and the sea meet in smooth layers of sandy loam and clear blue waves. This cardigan is designed for a tailored fit in the shoulders and sleeves, but extra room in the body to add a stylish little “swing” to the shape.

This cardigan is top-down and seamless!
