Can a polo or turtle neck ever suit TITS?

So you don't look like an inverted triangle ?
I saw a nice photo on the gap site and now I yearn.

Looks awful if tummy sticks out as far as tits but otherwise that jumper is nice and drapey

noddyholder · 13/11/2012 18:16

Circular hem is for balance so I would say yes try it! I think it looks loose as in skimmy not smocky (deludes self as I like it)

This thread has made me want a polo neck jumper now.

Provincial perhaps your mum would look ok if she wore the correct size jumper?

I do think a lovely cashmere polo neck with jeans is just such a nice classic look and warm too - what's not to like?

Yes, release yourself from the tyranny of the V neck Grin

I have 36Gs and regularly wear polo necks; I have narrow shoulders and often wear a long pendant over the top. I don't know if that makes a difference.

Christina Hendricks works it....

If you wear a loose bottom jumper or top and you are large of nork it just hangs off them and makes you look massive.

If you have a fitted one it makes you look all nork.

I prefer the all nork to the massive look :o

Tuppenyrice · 13/11/2012 18:34

I have in the past. Very good moulded type bra helps. I actually quite liked the way it looked Grin
Mind you it was about a hundred years ago...

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 13/11/2012 18:35

That's nice. Gap quality is so awful now though, that I don't know if it's worth even looking at it.

I'm a slimmish 12 with 32E norks and I could get away with that sort of jumper with a good bra and a fitted bottom half such as skinnies or a pencil skirt, especially if worn with a more fitted (eg biker) jacket worn open over it.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 13/11/2012 18:36

Oh and I have narrow shoulders and a long, slim neck so that might help maybe?

freerangeeggs · 13/11/2012 18:38

I think they look great with tits. Make 'em look enormous

QueenieLovesEels · 13/11/2012 18:40

I was looking back over a Trinny and Susannah book the other day actually and it occurred to me that they really have got no idea.

One of them has imaginary saddlebags she throws material around to cover by way of dresses over wide leg trousers whilst wobbling around on stilts to counter this....

The other crams herself into clothes that are too tight and bangs on about being an hourglass without any real detectable waist. She's an apple for gawds sake.

They did peddle a lot of shite notions around didn't they? Lots of clashing colours and wrap this and that........with lots of folds to disguise 'defects'.

QueenieLovesEels · 13/11/2012 18:45

Gok the cock.

I mean he couldn't even get trousers to fit over his own arse.....

GobblersSparklyExplodingKnob · 13/11/2012 18:46

Aw poor Gok, he used to live down the road from me. His Chinese cookery book is very good Grin

another fashion dictate [long hair over 40, denim jackets on same, bootleg jeans] If you think it looks nice then please wear it and enjoy (30 H and happy I look sleek in my black polo which also keeps me warm. It's fitted but not tight. I don't look matronly or party either

changeforthebetterforObama · 13/11/2012 18:55

Or even tarty

HellothisisJoanie · 13/11/2012 18:56

I'm tall, long neck, average to wide ish shoulders and big boobs. Every single polo neck I've tried looks feckin horrendous on me.

I think you need to try it, you might be the right shape tho.
