Why cozy knit loungewear cardigan make a good gift

  • It layers over almost anything, from pyjamas to a t-shirt and jeans.
  • An open front makes it easy to put on and take off as the room warms up.
  • Pockets and a tie belt add practical touches that get used every day.

What to look for

  • Check the length, since cropped, hip-length and long styles give very different coverage.
  • Compare chenille, fleece and cotton blends for softness, weight and how easily they pill.
  • Read the care label to see whether it can go in the washer and dryer.

Questions people ask

What size should be chosen for a relaxed fit?
Go with the person's usual size, since most lounge cardigans are cut loose already. Sizing up can make long styles feel bulky.
Do knit cardigans pill easily?
Some chenille and acrylic blends pill with wear, so washing inside out on a gentle cycle helps them last.
