I think if you treat them in the same way as you would a coat it should be okay.</p> <p><a href="http://www.graziadaily.co.uk/stylehunter/archive/2009/09/22/style-hunter-paris--the-coatigan-moment.htm" rel="nofollow">http://www.graziadaily.co.uk/s.....moment.htm</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.graziadaily.co.uk/stylehunter/archive/2009/10/09/style-hunter--cosy-coatigan.htm" rel="nofollow">http://www.graziadaily.co.uk/s.....atigan.htm</a></p> <p>With regards to wearing them in the house, I have a wrapover maternity version from when I had DD1 two years ago and I lounge in at allot through the winter.</p> <p>Why run the central heating when you can add another layer? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-big-warm-cardis-love-or-hate#post-100459 Sun, 11 Oct 2009 05:45:55 +0000 cciele 100459@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it could be cute in the right outfit. Like Louise mentioned, slim on bottom. Maybe add some hip boots and fun jewelry to avoid the "dumpy" effect. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-big-warm-cardis-love-or-hate#post-100421 Sun, 11 Oct 2009 01:54:50 +0000 anne 100421@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>like this one ?<br /> <a href="http://s297.photobucket.com/albums/mm234/anneinoz/?action=view&#038;current=longcardi2.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://s297.photobucket.com/al.....cardi2.jpg</a></p> <p>I do love their warmth (and the fact that they cover my long torso with no cold gaps around the waist) and coziness, but I think they can easily tend towards making the wearer look dumpy.</p> <p>Mine was a real cheapie bought last year, and has fuzzed and pilled so badly I don't wear it much out - but it makes a great warm layer for my cold winter house </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-big-warm-cardis-love-or-hate#post-100380 Sat, 10 Oct 2009 18:19:17 +0000 Angie 100380@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was going to suggest what Ana has. May we see links to these cardis online? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-big-warm-cardis-love-or-hate#post-100346 Sat, 10 Oct 2009 13:02:13 +0000 Louise 100346@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If it's warmth you're after can i suggest thermal underwear and lots of thin layers. This is much warmer because it traps a layer of air in between each layer. We went through a cold winter with duff heating at work and i wore thermals, knee high socks, tshirt and cardi layer then a scarf to top it off and was lovely and snug x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-big-warm-cardis-love-or-hate#post-100333 Sat, 10 Oct 2009 12:11:01 +0000 garmenta 100333@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I know...It's too cold already, and at home I wear a shawl that's the size of a blanket...But remember, it's the nature of the fiber that keeps you warm, not just the volume. You can be surprisingly warm and cozy in lightweight merino wool or cashmere. And if your neck is wrapped up in something--even a lightweight fabric--you'll feel warmer, too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-big-warm-cardis-love-or-hate#post-100332 Sat, 10 Oct 2009 07:17:53 +0000 Louise 100332@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you might pull it off if you keep the bottom half streamlined- slim trousers, pencil skirt, skinnies etc as there will be a lot of voloume in the cardi x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-big-warm-cardis-love-or-hate#post-100287 Sat, 10 Oct 2009 00:44:04 +0000 Ana 100287@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Could you find examples online of the kind of cardigans you are thinking about and post them here? I'm having a hard time picturing the cardis exactly. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-big-warm-cardis-love-or-hate#post-100283 Sat, 10 Oct 2009 00:02:34 +0000 artsy1 100283@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Recently I have been imagining myself wrapped in long warm cardis (the school is cold lots of the time). I have seen this look on lots of people lately and I don't want to look trendy, rather unique. Thoughts? </p>
