Cozy sweater
A sweater is never just a sweater when the neckline scratches or the sleeves prickle. Use the visual support below to let your child choose by how the fabric feels on the skin.

About this visual support
Finding a cozy sweater rarely has much to do with how it looks. For a child with sensitive skin, it is the neckline, the shoulder seam or a tiny tag at the back that decides whether the garment can be worn for a whole day. The jumper looks perfect on the shop hanger and still ends up on the floor two minutes after pulling it over the head.
Visual support for cozy sweaters gives the child a way to talk about something that is hard to put into words. By pointing at a picture, your child can show which kind of top feels right today, without needing to explain why the other one is unbearable. You stop guessing, and the morning wardrobe scene stops repeating itself.
A practical tip: let your child feel the inside of the fabric before the sweater goes on, especially around the neck, since that is where the scratchiest seams usually sit. Turn tops inside out if the label is spiky. To stitch the whole morning together from waking up to breakfast, Routined lets the sweater choice sit as its own step in a clear visual sequence.
