I have some Christmas money to spend and I really like this cardigan here

Do you think its Mumsy? I love the colour (chutney).

I love it. But I am a cardigan fiend.

I don't really know what mumsy is, you could for example wear this with silver leggings and converse ankle boots - that wouldn't be mumsy!

It wouldn't look good on me, but I'm 5'2" and not as slim as I used to be (though I'm still a borderline 10/12 depending on the label!). I'd look shapeless. I do agree with you on the colour, though.

I love that colour. It could be mumsy if you wear it with frumpy clothes but I think it will be fine if you wear it with flattering items.

I agree with the other posters-it depends on what you wear it with. Nice boots and a chunky necklace and I think it will look fab. I like it; the blue one is nice, too.

Hate the colour, but maybe it would look fantastic on your colouring. It would make me look ill.

Lovely.
The colour would look awful on me but I do like it if you can wear that colour, lovely warm shade.

It's lovely. I'd happily wear the silver with skinny jeans and nice boots.
I'd order a larger size so it was a bit slouchy.

Don't buy it. Don't buy it. I repeat, don't buy it.

It is indeed mumsy. Also, never wear a colour called 'chutney'!

Ooh. No. I would think I were faced with a woman who had 'given up' on clothes if I saw someone wearing that. Not my taste at all. And the colour reminds me of baby poo.

But the again, I think that of all cardigans. Nasty things.

It looks boxy, doesn't look boxy on the model but it could be pinned back. I think there are more flattering cardis out there tbh.

Absolutely hate it, sorry. It looks like the sort of thing my (morbidly obese) RE teacher would have worn.

What about the Kelsey cardigan @ Fatface?

I cant link to it, but its easy found in their knits section.

I think it's less mumsy in the other colours - the cedar or the silver.

I couldn't pull it off, I think it may work best on teen/early 20s ingenue types with a Bloomsbury print dress and biker boots. (Or 60something artists).

Get it in cedar, it's lovely.

The chutney? No no no no. The colour changes the cardigan completely for me, it looks dated, drab and quite ugly in chutney. The silver's too lifeless for me. But the cedar is rich and classic.

I don't like it. At all. Sorry. I can't imagine it looking non-frumpy.

It's awful. Really, really awful and I love cardigans.
