Is this sweater warm enough for cold weather?

It is a mid-weight knit, warm enough for indoor parties and mild outdoor wear. For freezing temperatures, layer a shirt or base layer underneath.

It is a standard crew-neck pullover cut. The fit is boxy and unisex, so slimmer shoppers may want to size down and those layering up may want to size up.

Can I wear it after the holidays?

The "Happy Holidays" print is seasonal, so it is really a December sweater. Outside the holidays it reads as a novelty piece.

How should I wash it?

Turn it inside out and wash cold on a gentle cycle, then lay flat or hang to dry. Avoid high heat, which can crack the print.

Yes for white-elephant exchanges, office parties and friends who enjoy ugly-sweater events. It is a fun one-season gift rather than a wardrobe staple.
