I need to find a jumper for DS' girlfriend (25). Easy-peasy, you'd think- but I am clueless here.

I have virtually no sense of fashion. I don't know where I should be looking- Jack Wills? Hollister? Somewhere more trendy?

She's a size 8 (I think. DS doesn't know) Works in an office, so something that would be suitable for that maybe? She usually wears a lot of gym wear (ex PT, ballerina) I've seen her wear pink and red (not together) and possibly pale blue. I don't think she'd wear something very frilly.

Can anyone point me in the direction of the 'right' place to shop? Budget around £50.

I'd go with something from ASOS or Zara. If you don't know her that well, what about a voucher?

I bought the &otherstories jumper. 😁It's not that I don't know her very well, it's just that I'm a bit clueless when it comes to clothes for young women.

She is a lovely young woman, and I see her as part of the family (likely to be a permanent one at some point, according to ds) so didn't want to just go with a voucher. She'll appreciate the thought and effort, even if she doesn't like the jumper itself.

that jumper is lovely I'm sure she will love it.

Thanks @Mrsjayy .

I do really appreciate everyone's input!

(I also went rogue and bought her a delicate silver bracelet. Receipt will be included, obvs)

Weekday is cool and cheap and aimed at that age group.

I agree with this. My 23-year-old DD has just asked me for a jumper from Weekday and sent links to some she likes. @SoSad44 - they ALL look a bit dreary to me, but that's what the young folks like these days!

The jumper you have chosen is a great choice!

Not particularly pricey so could get 2 or 1 and something else but TU at sainsburys sell gorgeous knit wear and their stuff lasts well. Not cheap and nasty cheap but cheap compared to some places.

Didn't get to the end of the thread to see you'd already bought one 🤦‍♀️

Failed to read the update. Was going to say not clothes.

Fenty lipglosses are great (and popular) can get them in boots

Crocs are also really popular now!

Shodan · 12/12/2023 21:10

@Clemfandango95 Ooh. I did ask ds if there were any toiletry items she might like. Those lip glosses look lovely...

I got them both crocs last year! Well ahead of fashion, me 😄
