Opinions sought on this cardigan please :-)

[tulpe]

from Phase 8

I tried it on today in store. It is beautifully soft and warm but concerned it was a bit dressing-gown like.

Was thinking it would be nice with navy v neck tee and slate grey skinnies or indigo straightleg jeans.

What do we think S&B jury?

Yeh i think its quite nice actually and would look nice with plain jeans and vest top or something.

Wee bit dull?

i like it, would go nicely with what you suggested

moondog that's my concern too. Thing is, I really want a warm and preferably chunky-ish cardigan for cool summer days. All the ones I have seen today are kind of a crochet knit and therefore not warm, IMO.

i think its nice, i think it would look lovely in the way you suggest (slate skinnies and vest) its not dull its stripey, cardis are usually plain anyway?
"summer cardis" is my ongoing project!

it's a bit like a wind breaker

I've found with Phase 8 cardis, that gathering around the waist makes me look chunky. And it's getting towards waterfall territory imo .
Much prefer a neat cropped or tied one.

I really like these from Pure Collection - still reduced.

never bought from Phase 8 WWWY, good tip though!

I like dull cardys, I'm not a fan of jazzy cardys!

Nice - only if you are real slim though - and wear it so that you can see what you are wearing under it iykwim. Not all tied up and tight (except when really cold).

WWWY - is £99 the reduced price????

Ooh thanks for the Phase Eight sale link!

Anyone seen this dress in the flesh? I suit dark blue (am blonde) and would be good for work. I can't tell what kind of fabric it is.

Oops I love the cardi OP, it's now in my shopping basket in plain red

Think its a lovely cardi, I love cardis, have loads of them. May go take a look at this one on the weekend!

TK - the reduced price is £64.

WWWY- It shows £99 for me too. How do you find it at £64? Quite fancy a nice plain cardi.

I should add that I really like the Phase Eight one to go with skinnies or straightleg jeans.

Thanks for comments. WWWY - I already have lots of those twin-set style cardis. I am really looking for something that I can cocoon myself in on cool days - specifically on the beach or in playing fields with my DCs. The Phase 8 one isn't chunky but it is warm. I have seen loads of chunky-ish cardis around but they are all kind of crocheted or 3/4 length sleeves. Don't knitwear designers holiday in this country??!!

they all wear fleeces with sheepdogs on them

Re the Pure cardi: the sale finished yesterday lunchtime so they're back to normal price now .
