Cardigans for Women in Womens Sweaters

Can a cardigan be washed and dried with your regular laundry?

Take special care when washing your cardigans to prevent pilling or other damage. Either hand-wash or use your machine's gentle or delicate cycle, and only use cold water. Consider putting your sweater into a laundry bag before washing, and don't wash it with other thick or bulky items, like jeans, jackets, or sweatshirts. When it comes to drying, avoid the dryer, as this can also cause pilling. Allow your cardigan to air dry. Always check your cardigan's manufacturer's label for any further washing and drying instructions.

How can I keep my cardigan from stretching out?

To keep your cardigans from stretching or becoming misshapen, avoiding hanging them on hangers. When storing them, fold them and place them in a drawer. When air-drying, lay them flat. Another tip to prevent stretching is to make sure your buttons are unbuttoned and your zipper is unzipped when you take your sweater off or put it on.

Are cardigans suitable to wear to work?

Every workplace has its own clothing guidelines, so make sure to follow those first, but in general, cardigans are versatile enough that you can wear them both casually and as part of your office attire. To dress up your cardigan, pair it with a nice pair of slacks or dress pants and a button-up shirt or nice camisole. You can also wear it over a dress. If you prefer a more casual look at work, pair your cardigan with jeans or leggings and a nice T-shirt.
