Biz Collection ladies 2-way zip cardigan

Biz Collection aims the LC3505 at women who want something tidier than a fleece but warmer than a shirt on its own. It sits in the ladies jumpers side of corporate workwear, so the styling leans office and front-of-house rather than worksite.

The knit is a 73% viscose, 27% nylon blend on a 12 gauge, which gives it a smooth, lightweight feel rather than a chunky jumper look. The standout detail is the full open two-way zipper, so you can open it from the top or the bottom and adjust how it sits over a dress, skirt or trousers across the day.

If you are kitting out a reception, sales or admin team and want a cardigan that reads as part of a uniform without looking heavy, it is a sensible option. You can see the current colour and size details on the Done Right Safety product page.

Choosing the right size and look

The LC3505 is a cardigan rather than a structured jacket, so think about how it will sit over the rest of the uniform. The 73% viscose, 27% nylon knit is fine and light, which suits a smart corporate look more than heavy outdoor warmth. If your team layers it over a blouse or a work dress, allow for that when picking a size. The Done Right Safety product page is the place to confirm the available size range and colours before you order for a group.

Getting the most from the two-way zip

The full open two-way zipper is the practical feature here. Undo it from the top to open the neckline, or from the bottom so it sits better when seated or over a fuller skirt. For a uniform, it is worth showing staff that the zip works both ways so the cardigan keeps its shape through the day rather than being tugged at the hem.

Looking after the knit

Specific wash and care instructions are not listed in the details we have, so check the garment label or the product page before laundering. As a general rule, a fine viscose and nylon knit like this is best treated gently to keep the shape and the smooth finish, and hung or folded rather than left to stretch on a hook.

All three are same-type ladies layers from the corporate workwear range, so it is a fair comparison rather than a set of adjacent alternatives. The differences come down to fabric and style: a fine zip cardigan, a wool-blend cardigan, or a brushed-fleece hoodie.

Pick the Biz Collection LC3505 if you want the smartest, lightest option and like the flexibility of the two-way zip for a corporate look. The DNC wool-blend cardigan suits teams who want a warmer, more traditional knit with an anti-pill, machine-washable finish.

The Goodmates womens hoodie is the casual choice. At a 290gsm brushed fleece with a front pocket, it leans cosy and relaxed rather than office-smart, so it fits better where the dress code is easygoing.

The listing confirms a ladies cardigan in a 73% viscose, 27% nylon 12 gauge knit, with a full open two-way zipper and modern fashion styling. That points to a light, smart layer rather than heavy outdoor warmth, which is what most corporate buyers are after for indoor and front-of-house roles.

The two-way zip is a genuine plus for a uniform piece, since it gives staff some control over how the cardigan sits without changing the overall look. For a coordinated ladies layer, it earns its place.

A few things are not stated in the details we have: the size range, the colours, and the wash and care instructions. Confirm those on the Done Right Safety product page or the garment label before you commit to a team order, especially if you need a consistent colour across several people.
