How to Style the ME+EM Contour Cardigan in Dark Chocolate by Body Type
- Rectangle: ME+EM is built on clever tailoring, so let the cut create shape. The ME+EM Contour Cardigan in Dark Chocolate layers cleanly over a fitted base, and a slim belt and a defined waist introduce structure. Keep the styling considered so the 90% Merino Wool, 10% Cashmere does the talking.
- Hourglass: Waist-defining seams, wrap closures, and tailored lines flatter the curve. Allow the 90% Merino Wool, 10% Cashmere to skim rather than cling, and finish with a heel for a sharp, elongated line.
- Tall: Wide-leg trousers, column silhouettes, and maxi lengths elongate beautifully. Style the ME+EM Contour Cardigan in Dark Chocolate with a flat for day and a heel by night to lengthen the line further.
- Petite: Choose a clean shoulder, a high waist, and a heeled shoe to draw the leg out. The considered proportions of the ME+EM Contour Cardigan in Dark Chocolate help balance a shorter frame without losing the line.

The Coveti edit focuses on the Autumn Winter 2026 arrivals: sharp tailoring in wool suiting and check, print dresses, cashmere and merino knits, leather, velvet and corduroy, and barrel and wide-leg denim, all designed in London.
“The ME+EM Contour Cardigan in Dark Chocolate is exactly the kind of piece we recommend when a wardrobe needs polish as much as ease. The 90% Merino Wool, 10% Cashmere is beautifully chosen, the cut stays quietly confident, and the piece restyles effortlessly from the desk to dinner. This is intelligent dressing done with real consideration, the sort of piece that earns its place season after season.”
