The YESNO, because its 43.7% wool blend traps heat better than the all-cotton Paul Fredrick. The cotton sweater is more breathable for indoor wear.

Is the YESNO worth it over the Paul Fredrick?

If you only need a sweater for one holiday party, yes: it costs $43.99 versus $139.00. If you want a sweater you wear all winter, the cotton Paul Fredrick is the better buy.

Both are machine washable, but the Paul Fredrick's 100% cotton knit and ribbed trim tend to hold shape longer. Wool blends can pill with frequent washing.

Does the Paul Fredrick come in tall sizes?

Yes. It is offered in regular and tall sizes, which the YESNO does not offer.

Will the wool in the YESNO itch?

It may for some people. At 43.7% wool, wear a base layer underneath if you are sensitive.

Can I wear either after Christmas?

The Paul Fredrick's festive pattern is subtler and easier to wear into January. The YESNO's snowman graphic reads as holiday-only.
