Cashmere Plush Waffle Cardigan - Black
The verdict
Fit
Waffle knit in a cardigan cut with Alo's fitted shoulder; the texture adds visual depth while remaining close to the frame.
Quality
Full cashmere with waffle-knit construction signals premium quality; expect durable stitching, breathable fabric, and years of wear.
Price check
Premium-tier pricing for a cashmere cardigan; the waffle texture and tailoring justify the cost, though Alo's brand tax is significant.
Best for
Luxury-minded shoppers wanting a refined, textured cashmere cardigan for layering and weekend dressing.
Care
Hand wash in cool water with cashmere-specific detergent, or dry clean; lay flat to dry and reshape the waffle texture.

Fit check: Alo Yoga
Varies by lineAlo Yoga has no single fit: loungewear (hoodies, sweatshirts, sweatpants) runs deliberately oversized, leggings sit roughly true to size with style-by-style swings, and compressive pieces feel snug.
Owners consistently describe the sweats side of the line as roomy by design — one try-on reviewer notes "many of their clothes are oversized" and kept her usual medium sweatpants for the baggy look while an XS gave a fitted one, and a shopper quoted in a sizing roundup said "i would def go smaller in the bottoms i have found them to run a little big." Leggings are the steadier part of the catalog: multiple reviewers call the Airlift true to size, though a retailer's fit guide advises sizing down in most other legging styles because they cut generous and long. Compressive styles pull the other way — reviewers report snug waistbands and bras, with size-ups common in tight shorts and mesh bras. The recurring owner refrain is that sizing is inconsistent enough across pieces that per-item fit notes matter more than a house rule.
Sizing advice: Take your usual size in Airlift leggings, size down in hoodies/sweatpants unless you want the full oversized look, and size up in compressive shorts and bras if you're between sizes.

What owners report about Alo Yoga sweaters
Owners agree the knits and lounge pullovers feel very soft and thick when new, with the Alosoft line drawing repeat praise. Reports split on how the pieces age: some say theirs held up for a year with no pilling, while others see pilling in high-friction areas after several washes and call durability a question mark at the price. Reviewers also flag inconsistent sizing across styles, which stings given what the pieces cost.
- Strengths
- Soft, thick-feeling knit and lounge fabrics that owners find immediately comfortable to wear.
- Watch out for
- Pilling in high-friction areas after repeated washes is the recurring complaint, and reviewers question whether durability justifies the price.
- Sizing
- Sizing reads inconsistent across styles; the cuts already run relaxed, and one reviewer who sized up for an oversized fit found it too big and recommends staying true to size.
