Styling, Care, and Gifting Tips
Pull up a chair and a mug of something warm, this is your snug-on guide to wearing, caring for, and gifting your holiday sweaters so they stay soft, bright, and ready for every memory you make.
1) Find your comfy fit
-
Unisex sizing: Check our Size Guide for measurements. If you prefer a roomier, lounge-ready look, size up one.
-
Layers in mind: Planning a collared shirt or turtleneck under your sweater? Give yourself a little extra space.
-
Still unsure? Measure a favorite sweater you already own and compare it to our chart for the easiest match.
2) Easy outfit ideas (from sofa to sparkle)
-
Movie-night cozy: Your sweater + joggers or leggings + chunky socks. Add a beanie if you’re stepping out for cocoa.
-
Casual out & about: Layer over a white tee, add straight-leg jeans and sneakers or ankle boots.
-
Polished & office-ready: Pop a crisp collared shirt underneath, pair with tailored trousers or a midi skirt, and finish with loafers.
-
Picture-perfect family looks: Stick to a shared color story (creams, forest green, deep red) and mix textures; corduroy, denim, and knits, to sync without matching exactly.
3) Care that keeps it soft and bright
-
Turn inside out before washing.
-
Machine wash cold (max 30°C) with similar colors, gentle cycle, mild detergent.
-
Non-chlorine bleach only, and only if needed.
-
Tumble dry low to medium heat or lay flat to dry for maximum softness.
-
Skip dry-cleaning.
-
If needed, iron inside out on low, avoiding the printed area directly.
Little laundry helpers
-
Wash in a mesh bag if your machine is grabby.
-
Avoid fabric softener to help prints stay crisp.
-
Use a lint roller after drying; for light pilling, a fabric shaver works wonders.
4) Store with a hug, not a hanger
Fold your sweater (don’t hang) to keep the shoulders smooth. If it’s resting till next season, store it clean in a breathable bag with cedar chips or a little lavender to keep things fresh.
5) Gifting made simple
-
Sizing safety: When in doubt, go one size up for a relaxed, comfy fit.
-
Color confidence: Choose a shade they wear often; neutrals like black, cream, or navy are effortless.
-
Make it a moment: Matching sets for couples, siblings, or friends are instant smiles. Add a handwritten note and you’re golden.
6) Capture the cozy (photo tips)
-
Find window light and switch on warm fairy lights for a gentle glow.
-
Hold a steaming mug or ornament for natural hands.
-
Frame near the tree or mantel, and keep backgrounds simple so the sweater shines.
-
Candid always wins, laugh, twirl, clink cocoa.
