The details

As we transition from winter to spring, a lightweight layering piece like the Halogen Open Front Pocket Cardigan is an easy way to stay ahead of the weather. It's made from an ultra-soft cashmere blend and features a draped silhouette that tops off any outfit.

It features a relaxed open front and two side pockets, plus a cozy long fit. Since this sweater is slightly oversized, the brand recommends sizing down for the best fit.

Canadians can shop the sweater in grey, while those in the U.S. can find it in both grey and an olive green.

What people are saying

Nordstrom shoppers have been quick to praise this easy everyday sweater, with one shopper calling it the "perfect layering sweater." It's earned an impressive 4.7-star rating from hundreds of customer reviews who have fall for its lightweight and versatile style.

"Love this! It has just the right amount of cashmere to feel amazing," shared one reviewer. "I am on the short size, 5'2" and it looks great. Cannot wait to pair it with jeans and low boots!"

"I bought this and sized down as recommended. The sweater fits perfectly and looks great. It is super soft, the colour is beautiful and will layer well," added another.

Many shoppers have noted that this Halogen sweater is ideal for travel, since it packs away easily and adds just enough warmth when you need it.

"I got this to wear on the airplane, and it’s perfect! Great shape, colour, length, fit and weight. Love!" reads one review.

Some found that this sweater was "too thin" for their liking, and cautioned that while it does work well for layering it doesn't add much warmth.

The verdict

According to Nordstrom shoppers, this lightweight sweater "drapes without adding bulk to the frame," which makes it an ideal choice for layering, especially at its current sale price. However, it is made from a thinner fabric — and while that may be a draw for some, while others may want to pass in favour of something a little heavier.
