Quick Answer
If you prefer a classic, true-to-size fit, order your usual size. For a cozier, more relaxed look—especially over pajamas—size up for extra room.
Understanding the Relaxed Unisex Fit
The Spellbinding Studies Adult Crewneck is designed with a relaxed unisex fit, meaning it isn't cut specifically for men or women. This typically results in a roomier shoulder and chest area compared to a fitted women's top. If you're between sizes or prefer a more tailored silhouette, consider sizing down.
The sweatshirt is made from Soluxe® with a cozy French terry interior. French terry is looped on the inside, which adds softness but also a bit of visual bulk. This means the fit may look slightly more relaxed than a standard jersey sweatshirt, even in the same size.
Sizing for Layering and Seasons
If you plan to wear this crewneck over a long-sleeve shirt or a pair of Little Sleepies pajamas, sizing up will give you comfortable room without feeling restrictive. The relaxed fit already allows for light layering, but a larger size is better for thicker base layers or colder days.
Remember that this is adult clothing, not a pajama piece. While it pairs beautifully with the Adult Sweater Beanie for a fall look, it's designed for lounging and everyday wear, not specifically for sleeping. If you want a sleep-specific top, you might look at actual pajama tops instead.
How to Choose Your Size
- Between sizes?: If your measurements fall between two sizes, size down for a closer fit or size up for a relaxed, loungy look. The relaxed unisex cut means the larger size won't look overly baggy.
- Prefer a fitted look?: Order one size smaller than your usual. The relaxed cut is roomier in the chest and shoulders, so sizing down gives a more tailored appearance without being tight. Check the size chart's chest and length measurements before ordering.
- Planning to layer?: Size up if you want to wear a long-sleeve shirt or pajama underneath. The French terry interior adds a bit of bulk, so a larger size keeps you comfortable. If you're between sizes and plan to layer, choose the larger size.
- After washing?: Expect minimal shrinkage if you follow care instructions. To preserve the fit, wash in cold water and tumble dry low or lay flat to dry. Avoid high heat drying to prevent unexpected shrinkage.
