My Princess Polly Cardigan Hunt Begins
Alright, so honestly? I needed new cardigans. Like, desperately. My old ones were either pilly or looked tired. Scrolling through my feed, Princess Polly kept popping up. Figured, why not give ’em a proper try? Saw they had tons of styles. Decided my mission was finding the best cozy ones actually good for everyday life – school runs, errands, maybe grabbing coffee without looking like I just rolled outta bed.
Started by just browsing their cardigan section online. Filtered by “knitwear” and “cardigans”. Darn, so many options! Was kinda overwhelming. Focused on ones that looked thick enough for warmth but not bulky. Read a bunch of reviews too, paying attention to what people said about fit and pilling.
Diving In & Picking My Top 5 Contenders
Based on what I read and saw, I picked five styles that seemed to fit the “cozy everyday” bill. Wanted variety – cropped, long, buttoned, open front. My virtual cart filled up fast!
- The Everyday Fave: One basic button-down style looked classic and super comfy.
- The Cropped Choice: Saw a shorter one, looked perfect with high-waisted jeans.
- Oversized Dream: Big ‘n chunky, looked like a hug. Had to try it.
- Cable Knit Classic: More textured, felt like it could look fancier but still chill.
- The Long Duster: Almost coat-length, seemed great for layering.
Hit the checkout button and crossed my fingers the sizing was right!
Trying Them On: The Real Talk Test
Box arrived – yay! First thing? Feel the fabric. Grabbed the basic button-down first. Oh wow, this one felt soft right away. Threw it on. Fit good, not too tight, sleeves actually the right length for my weirdly long arms. Winner so far.
Next, the cropped one. Felt nice, texture was cool. Put it on… yup! Hit right at the waist like I wanted. Could already see it with my fav denim. Easy yes.
Now, the oversized one. Pulled it out… okay, this felt REALLY cozy. Like, instant warmth. Loved how thick it was. But dang, it was HUGE on me. Sized down maybe? Kept it for couch days though.
The cable knit? Looked even nicer in person. Nice weight, felt sturdy but not scratchy. Buttoned it up over a tee – super cute! Definitely keeper for when I wanna look a bit more put-together doing nothing special.
Finally, the long duster. Soft? Check. Length? Good. But the fit… felt a bit boxy? Not as flattering as the others for my shape. Was kinda “meh” on it.
The Final Verdict & Daily Wear
Alright, after wearing each of the keepers around the house (and yes, surviving the dreaded baby spit-up test!), here’s how they shook out for real everyday life:
- Absolute Go-To: The basic button-down cardigan. Live in this thing. Easy, comfy, goes with everything.
- Style Boost: The cropped one. Perfect for casual outfits needing a little something extra.
- Comfort King: That oversized chunky knit. Saved me on chilly mornings.
- Elevated Basic: Cable knit comes out when leggings aren’t quite enough.
Sent the long duster back. Just didn’t love it.
Honestly? Found some gems. That basic cardigan especially? It’s replaced my old ratty hoodies half the time. Definitely worth the hunt for comfy Princess Polly pieces that don’t make you feel sloppy. Thumbs up from my chaotic daily routine!
