Quick question - which colour?

I need a plain cardigan to go with lots of things, I wear a lot of colour so not particulalry worried about what these will 'go' with.

Can't decide between these though, purely based on niceness of colour

I really like teal in general, but would probably say go for the moss green as it's brighter for spring!

snowbobby · 18/02/2011 12:01

I did think about it being more spring-like but do love teal

Prefer the moss myself! More spring like

HettyAmaretti · 18/02/2011 12:07

The teal, that 'moss' is an awful nursing home colour.

YoginiBikini · 18/02/2011 12:09

Teal. I love greens usually but agree with HettyA

snowbobby · 18/02/2011 12:11

Yikes - hadn't thought of the moss in that way Grin

Oops sorry Smile

snowbobby · 18/02/2011 12:21

Other option in my size is this. Would never normally go for a colour like this but perhaps it's OK?

Sorry, can't get the colour to come up but it is the pebble

I think that they'd all be nice if you wear colour with them.

Its only if you wear them with a cream button blouse and beige skirt with petticoat dangling that would give nursing home image Wink

Gillybobs · 18/02/2011 12:35

I wonder if its more the shape of it that smacks of nursing home? Sorry. Love Boden plain cardis normally but I think that shape is...erm....awkward

moragbellingham · 18/02/2011 12:45

Teal rather than "mushy peas"Grin and not the beige either.

snowbobby · 18/02/2011 14:54

Grin Gillybobs

Quite a few of the reviews say it's more like a boyfirend cardi shape so that's what I am hoping.

Think I will go for the teal, thanks everyone

Ah I see, FWIW I like the teal too x

MoonGirl1981 · 18/02/2011 17:58

I like the teal.

Agree with the green being mushy pea/nursing homey.

takeonme · 19/02/2011 13:08

spanner in works... I had the teal, lovely colour but really bobbled after washing.

I returned and Boden refunded no problem, so maybe worth giving a go.

HelenBaaBaaBlackSheep · 19/02/2011 13:15

I much prefer the green, but that may be because teal seemed to be everywhere last year (on the model it looks quite fitted to me)
