Luxury Italian fashion house Marni introduces its newest collection for the season and every season, it highlights the mohair cardigan. Last season, the house delivered the silhouette adorned with prints and stripes, and this time around, it can be seen in a longer shape than we've seen before.
It drops down to the thigh this time around and still retains its usual hairy fabric material that comes in an array of hues alongside the aforementioned stripes that were seen in previous seasons as well. For those who prefer a more muted tonal option, they can opt for the all-white iteration. Notably, the soft cardigans have two front pockets for a touch of function and buttons through the front.
