Bode Buckaroo striped cotton cardigan

Bode’s designs tell a story, drawing inspiration from personal narratives and historical techniques. The Buckaroo cardigan captures this spirit with its intricate intarsia knit, depicting a playful rodeo scene. Its classic silhouette and rich brown tones make it a characterful layering piece for the modern wardrobe.

The art of the detail

The Buckaroo cardigan expresses a study in refined composition, crafted entirely from soft cotton for a comfortable and breathable feel. Its relaxed silhouette is defined by a V-neck and a simple buttoned front, allowing the detailed pattern to remain the focus. Horizontal brown stripes create a timeless backdrop for the whimsical intarsia graphic that wraps around the body, showcasing the brand’s unique approach to knitwear. The textured fabric adds depth and a subtle tactile quality, making it a distinctive yet versatile piece for transitional weather.

How to wear

Layer this cardigan over a simple crewneck t-shirt and pair with ecru wide-leg trousers for a relaxed yet considered daytime look. This combination is ideal for a weekend gallery visit or a casual creative meeting. For an evening setting, wear it buttoned up with dark tailored pants and polished leather loafers. The cardigan’s narrative design adds a point of interest to an otherwise minimal ensemble, perfect for a dinner with friends. Its adaptable nature allows it to serve as a soft alternative to a traditional blazer in smart-casual contexts.
