Cerulean is having its moment in 2026. Following the release of The Devil Wears Prada 2 last month, the vibrant mid-to-light azure shade of blue is popping up all over social media and on the high-street.

Of course, the the colour is timeless and has been a mainstay in the collection of many fashion fan's for decades and will be for years to come. If your wardrobe is seriously lacking in the versatile hue, it's worth turning your attention to Roman.

The charming cardigan features pointelle detailing, offering a unique look. The piece is finished off with a V-neckline, scalloped edges and ribbed cuffs, providing a comfortable and flattering fit on the wrists.

Back at Roman, the Blue Pointelle Button Knit Cardigan has racked up one glowing review so far. It reads: "Perfect colour blue to match a blue daisy skirt l bought from you. A perfect fit too."

One thing to bear in mind, however, is its pointelle construction. An open-wave knit that features intential little holes, the fabric is quite delicate and prone to snagging on jewellery, zippers or bag straps, which can pull the yarn and distort the pattern.

While cotton is fresh and kind to skin, it lacks the 'snap back' elasticity of fabrics blended with elastane or nylon, making it susceptible to stretching throughout the day. But for a stylish layering option that can be worn virtually all year long, the Blue Pointelle Button Knit Cardigan is a fantastic choice.
