• the kind of thing that would look nice done up over a 50s style skirt. no pattern and with rich colour (suit dark pink, tuquoise, some purples, blue)

any ideas

I've always found Benetton to have good quality cardigans. They don't seem to have a working online shop though.

Rosemunde also make nice cardigans and tops: www.rosemunde.com/rosemunde-women-1003/cardigans-1007/

Sometimes H&M have some nice classic cardigans too.

I got a nice short navy cardigan from New Look. It even had sleeves long enough for my ghandiesqe arms. They also had it in camel & floral prints.
I also saw nice cardigans in fuchsia and turquoise in sainsburys. Unfortunately the sleeves weren't long enough for my horse like limbs and they looked rubbish rolled up-but i'm sure on a less lanky person they would fit great!

These are nice from Boden. They have a contrast edging so they're plain but have nice detail.

I've just ordered a pink one after seeing a friend in mint green. Notice that they're aren't many sizes left now though due to sale.

I second the New Look suggestion. I have two and was really pleasantly surprised by the style and quality, I was not expecting it.

try woolovers for natural fabrics.

Don't forget M and S.

And Topshop.

And Uniqlo.

Nice cardigans.

If GB had a national costume, that would be part of the female ensemble. And, to be honest, i don't know what I'd have done without cardigans this "summer".

the boden one is lovely thank you

Our local M&S is having building work done, very bitty stock, very annoying I was on a cardi hunt too and they usually have all sorts.

Not much anywhere else so watching this thread..

M&S was the first place i looked and there was nothing

It might worth having a look at Pure Collection too.

I like this one from fat face here
Im going to treat myself to it soon I think!

I third new look. I love their cardies.

Banana Republic

Wool overs for me too. They do seem to do a lot of discounts and multihull offers.

Monsoon?
