I’ve often sung the praises of my circle cardigan from Barefoot Dreams — the brand’s sweaters are insanely soft, machine washable, and warm but breathable, AND they have pockets. I have multiples from Barefoot Dreams and, honestly, no regrets about it.

As some readers have noted, though, there’s a great dupe to be found from Max & Mia, which you can find sometimes at Costco and, it looks like, all the time at Amazon. Nice.

I have one of these also — the Max & Mia cardigan is an excellent dupe for Barefoot Dreams if you’re on a hunt for something more affordable. The fabric is slightly thinner, and there’s a slightly smoother feel to the fabric also — I would say the Barefoot Dreams ones are thicker and more luxurious. But for a slouchy, loungey cardigan, the Max & Mia is a great find.

You can find it at Amazon (and sometimes at Costco) for $17–$69. (The ones at Costco right now are NOT dupes for Barefoot Dreams, but they’re still a super soft jersey/t-shirt material.)
