to ask what you think of this jumper?

[fifififififi]

And whether you think it would be a nice Christmas present?

(yes, I'm starting very early, but you have to if you want the best bargains)!

More context would be good ie who the recipient would be.

However, no, sorry, it’s a cheap acrylic jumper.

Last week I saw heavily reduced cashmere jumpers in Uniqlo which is more of a bargain.

It depends who for, it's not something I'd wear. Maybe for an elderly woman.

Not sure!

No. I like neither the design or the colours.

Depends on the recipient but I have to say I don't like it myself - I think it's quite old fashioned looking and the pattern isn't very flattering. Who would you be buying it for?

Hi! I don't think it's very nice at all! Horrible colours; strange design with weird v-shape at neck; too tight; too short; and made from nasty, sweaty acrylic. You did ask!

Well Im elderly (61) and its too old fashioned for me.

I’m elderly
I wouldn’t wear that jumper
Sorry

No I can't imagine who it would suit

It would be for a 90 year old

Not my style no.

Well funnily enough I was just about to say my 92 year old grandma would love it!

I think it's very ugly and would be unflattering on most people (very high neck, awkward colour blocking, meh colour), plus it's cheap and not very special. Not a bargain! I'm sure you could find something much nicer.

If it's horrible, it's horrible. I don't know why horrible things are deemed more appropriate / suitable for people who are older.

My 92 year old grandmother would hate it.

Same here, Fanny. It seems if it's nasty then it's for an older woman. I just don't get it.

Stop it, I'm 63 but no way am I fucking elderly.
That said, I have learnt to accept a seat on the tube when it is offered to me.

There is a reason it has not sold well, actually having looked again, several reasons.

I prefer acrylic, other fibres make me itch.

It's grim.

It's not nice, sorry!

Strange blocking, (reminds me of a golfing jumper), nasty colour and the wide rib will sit very awkwardly on anyone who isn't really slim.

I'm sure you can find something much better - you have 141 days (apparently) !!

It would be for a 90 year old

Would consider for someone that age - but only if she has always lived on a tight budget and didn't consider wool to be standard for jumpers.

But if she is frail I would probably go for a darker colour that wouldn't show the slightest spill or splash, the way that pastel and white would.

65 here and still refusing seats on the tube! And refusing to be any kind of stereotype.

I'm sure you can do better OP.

The colour isn't flattering, but I can't stand dusky pink type colours. A more definite colour is more flattering.

My DM always looks stunning and I realised that she uses colours in a clever way - normally quite vibrant colours or a blend of neutrals with a nice scarf in uplifting definite colours not pastels.

Here we go again. If you're 90 you automatically spill your food down your front. Ageism is alive and well and rampant on MN.
