ny&co sweaters
Permalink Closed

Has anyone bought their sweaters? I tried a few that I thought were cute, but was uncertain if they would hold up to wash and wear. They are inexpensive, but if they they look like a rag after a few washings, I find it really a waste of money- something I have found with express sweaters- hold up like crap!! What has your experience been?

Yes, I did buy some of their sweathers, and I shouldn't have.


Most of them are 100% acrylic, you have to be very careful when washing, and I usually don't even dry them in the drier!. They peel, and they don't feel as soft after few washes.


I actually have one merino wool sweather from Express that held to washing much much better!

i actually haven't had any issues with ny&co sweaters. but i never ever dry sweaters, and they all get washed on delicate with baby detergent. i also don't wash them every time after i wear them, usually three wears and then i wash. its not like im sweating in them or anything because there is always another layer underneath. oh...and don't pay full price on anything in ny&co ever...sign up for thier email and get coupons and use thier city cash events wisely.

I bought a cardigan from there recently (with an argyle print) -- it was on sale so I was willing to risk it.  It's 100% acrylic, but it's not thin and flimsy.  I also don't put it in the drier, so I haven't had any pilling issues yet (probably washed it 3 or 4 times).  Plus I've gotten lots of compliments when I wear it, so I consider it a good buy.


NY&Co. can be kinda hit or miss, but the clothes are so cheap (especially when on sale), sometimes you can get lucky.  And I agree with relrel -- wait for a sale.
