What is a short sleeve cardigan called?
A short-sleeve cardigan might also be called a shrug. A shrug is a cropped, cardigan-like garment with short or long sleeves knitted in one piece with the body. A shrug covers a smaller portion of the body than a vest, but it is more fitted than a shawl. Shop a collection of vintage and designer cardigans from some of the world’s top boutiques on 1stDibs.
