To be irritated by the way M&S display their jumpers

I'm currently stocking up on winter wear so have been buying jumpers.

Looking at M&S online for cardigans this morning and came away majorly irked by their models.

All I want to see is what I'm trying to buy. I just want the model to put the cardigan on, stand up reasonably straight and be photographed from various angles.

If you tuck one half of the cardigan into your trousers it makes it ruck up so I can't see how long it is, nor how it hangs.

Same with the sleeves, if you pull them over your hands or pull them up your arms I can't see how long they are.

Don't slouch in a chair or on the floor.

Don't pull the top of the garment up around your ears, maybe you're aiming at quirky, but I'm trying to see what it looks like being worn normally. I'm not going be wearing it yanked up around my ears.

And don't hug a bloody great bag to your chest because then all I can see is the bloody great bag.

Just needed to get that off my chest.

I'm with you OP. It's not just M&S either. I was having a moan about this exact issue to my friend the other week.

They do this deliberately because the clothes are so badly manufactured.

M&S tend to provide photos at the most useful end of the scale imo. As pp said, steer well clear of Zara...

If this pisses you off, never venture over to the Zara website. It’ll be lethal

They normally have a range of photos?
