in fact dh did have a cardie when i first met him - it was purely for wearing when studying and stayed within the confines of his bedroom. it still had to go.

Yes dh would look even more like a shapeless old man if he wore a cardi- remember his brown cord jacket anyone???
Love your name op- I have bought MIL one for Xmas

I think a Bf cardi is supposed to be describing how you'd look wearing his- daft really.

My bf wears cardigans... but he is French.

Does that make it better or worse?

My mother asked me this when I showed her a nice one in Zara. Well,in a magazine. I think it means it is slouchy ????

I prefer the term 'grandad cardigan'.

I have a boyfriend cardigan ... if it were to be worn by someone on whom it fitted 'normally' that person would have to be about 7'8" and weigh now more than 10 stone. And they'd have to really like purple, which is not a quality any of my past boyfriends or current DH have had.

I really cringe at the term 'boyfriend' cardigan or jeans.
