There's something about a cardigan with personality. This Nobody's Child Striped Neck-Tie Relaxed Cardigan may be our new favourite drop of the season. Think: trendy varsity stripes, TikTok-approved tie neck and the kind of chill, slouchy silhouette you'll end up wearing on repeat. It's new in, it's selling fast, and it's got instant outfit upgrade written alllll over it. We're kinda obsessed, tbh...
Retro meets right now. We looooove a preppy collar and a tie-neck detail, which nails a cool look for autumn without feeling too costume-y. You can knot the tie for that polished, grown-up girlie vibe or leave it loose if you're feeling a more laidback vibe. The stripes give us a hint of nostalgia, but the cut is giving pure 2025 vibes. It's softcore to a tee, drapey and relaxed enough to throw over anything. Did we mention that it's selling out fast?

Retro stripes, a playful tie-neck and a relaxed fit... we love it.
High street and designers alike are embracing bold collars, bow ties and layering knits. And, this collegiate-style striped cardigan seems to tap into some noteworthy autumnal trends. Not only is it affordable, but it's also versatile enough to work with a wide range of aesthetics and personal styles. It'll pretty much slot into most wardrobes with ease.
Yes, this is the kind of knit cardigan that turns a basic outfit into a look. Slip it over a crisp white blouse for a smart-casual office day, team it with a slip dress for a soft-grunge movement, or pair it with moody leather trousers and the chunkiest boots you can find to bring out its edge. And, the necktie? Bow it, knot it, or leave it undone - every way feels fresh and current.
Nobody's Child pieces have a track record of selling out, and this cardigan looks set to follow suit as the XL size has already flown off the shelves. It’s the kind of piece that we fashion writers love. Add in Nobody’s Child’s ethos, and it’s a stripy knit you can feel good about wearing on repeat.
Whether you’re layering for your morning commute, dressing up for a coffee run or styling it over light satin skirts for dinner, this cardigan literally works for everything. And, because it’s new-in and selling quickly, the smart move is to snag it now before it disappears from your size. You haven't got a moment to lose.
