Why is a Boyfriend cardigan called such? What aspect or feature of the cardigan is defined by the word BOYFRIEND?

I'm not sure, but who wants to associate a boyfriend with a big sloppy cardigan. In fact cardigans full stop. I don't think I've ever dated a man who wore a cardigan.
I think it's because they are bigger than the size you'd normally wear, so it looks like you've nicked your boyfriends cardi
You never fancied Paul Michael Glazier?

No, did you? Was he the one that fitted windows?
Well, I have one and to me all it is is a longline cardi, nothing else.

I looked it up in Wikipaedia and you are right Aimee:-
In fashion design, primarily in ready-to-wear lines, boyfriend is any style of women's clothing that was modified from a corresponding men's garment.
However, I bought mine as a size 12 and it looks and feels like any other size 12 cardigan I have, except that it's long-line.
A bit of a wasted effort, if you ask me.

Or even Glaser.
Boyfriend cardigans, big and baggy, boyfriend blazers...best thing EVER to have been brought back to fashion my wardrobe is full of them. And i jadore boyfriend jeans, best jeans ever. I live in boyfriend classified clothes.
That's it, but mine's not that colour and I don't (have to) have the sleeves rolled up.
