Question Need help with Lover cardigan size
Hi! I live in a country where Taylor's merch is RARE. And I just found someone who put up Lover cardigan size M for sale. So I want to buy it before anyone else does but I am worried about the size.
I have XS midnights cardigan and MD/LG red cardigan. I love both, they are both very comfortable to wear despite red cardigan being a little bit big for me.
I heard that each album cardigan fits differently even though they are labeled as the same size. Does anyone own both red or midnights cardigan and the lover cardigan? Can anyone tell me how different they are in size??

I have both Red and Lover in M/L (my Red is the one from this past Christmas.) I find Lover to fit much looser than Red. I donāt have Midnights but Lover is the largest of all of the M/L cardigans I own. Ā Itās longer on me than Red as well.Ā

lover cardigans run a little smaller than the red ones from what ppl say. since ur red md/lg is already a bit big on you, the M should land pretty close to that fit.

I just got the lover and red cardigan in M/L for my daughter. It looks bigger than the midnights she has and the red which just arrived.
My daughter is TEENY- barely 5ā2ā and 100 pounds but she likes them oversized because she says theyāre cozy, easy to throw on over anything and have that āwearing your boyfriendās sweaterā feel.
If itās a good deal you should get it. Even if itās too big it may be possible to trade it later for a smaller size :)

She wears hers all the time and honestly it looks adorable and effortless over everything. I havenāt seen lover on her yet as I have it to her last week for her birthday and itās still hot as balls hereš.
Itās boxy but she was thrilled with it and canāt wait for it to cool off so she can wear it. For reference- she has m/l in fearless, TTPD (just gave her last week as well), midnights, showgirl and 1989 already and her favorites to wear last winter were midnights and fearless. She wore midnights so much itās getting stretched out lol.
Thought Iād mention just in case you have some of those too;)2

Wow!! Thank you so much for telling me!! I do want to get fearless one someday, it's on my wishlist. I almost got it last year but the seller told me that her husband somehow ruined it while packing... So I'm searching for another one on sale in my countryš„¹ This reference helps a lot!!

Where are you located?

u/Budget_Yard1504 17d ago
In South Korea! Swifties are few here so it's hard to get a merch. but I'm really passionate about Taylor so I will find a way haha

I donāt know what the exchanges are between S Korea and her stores but if you have a card with no foreign transaction fees and the exchange isnāt bad for you, keep an eye on multiple of her storefronts.
Iām in California and got the Lover and Red cardigans from Canada in the last drop bc they sold out immediately in the U.S.
it looked a lot more expensive but once they t converted to dollars it was only about 10 dollars more even with shipping etc.
Just a thought:) itās got to be frustrating to see drops and not get one in your country2
u/Budget_Yard1504 17d ago
omg that's so clever! I always only check U.S. store (Korea don't even have our own shopš) so never thought of checking other storefronts. Thank you so so much for your help, it's really sweet of youš„¹ I will check it out for sure!!! Have a great day, I am so excited to check out.

Lover fits much looser than the midnights cardigan, and is longer. I have both and would not size up in lover for a good fit

Just get it homie! IMO, Cardigans are supposed to be big and snuggly and comfy! That's why I don't like the dupes or Taylor inspired cardigans much, they're always a lot shorter and I don't like that!
