The color is black. I've worn it a few times, but it's in good condition with no noticeable scratches or stains. Please refrain from purchasing if you are sensitive to items stored by individuals. It's a thin cardigan, but I think it can be worn all year round. From the official website: A cropped cardigan with charming, ladylike details. Made with a cool, smooth material, it's a convenient item that can also be used for sun protection. The three different buttons give it an elegant impression. You can wear it as a cover-up, or pair it with your existing innerwear to wear it like a pullover.
