Cardigans

The cardigans are the strongest group. There is a grunge V-neck cardigan with frayed, distressed edges, a continuous placket cardigan, a tank top cardigan, a belted cardigan in thermal pressed wool and a mouline tweed cardigan with crystals. See every style in designer cardigans.

Sweaters and pullovers

The pullovers include a cropped grunge V-neck, a textured chenille crewneck, a mouline tweed crewneck with crystals and a double collar V-neck built to look layered. Browse all of them in designer sweaters.

Pre-styled knits

Several pieces come pre-styled, which means the layering is built in: a tank dress with a draped cardigan, a knit tee sewn over a button down, a tank with a tie front sweater. They give the look of two pieces in one.

How do Alexander Wang knits fit?

Knits come in letter sizes XXS to XL. The cropped styles are short by design. Alexander Wang sizes on a US scale. On its own size chart US 0 is UK 4, US 4 is UK 8 and US 8 is UK 12, and the letter sizes run XXS (US 00) to XL (US 14). Coveti lists every piece in UK sizes, converted from that chart.
