Is this jumper hideous?

[LatinForTelly]

I think it might be. I am so rubbish at buying jumpers. We are far far north, and I need to be warm. Please can anyone point me in the direction of some nice jumpers? (Have poor shopping abilities generally and am quite frumpy)

jumper

I like it.

Thunbs up - although for warmth the neck is a tad low, you'd want a scarf with that outdoors.

It's not my personal taste and I'm not a fan of M and S Indigo in general, but I don't think it's hideous.

For jumpers you could also look at Boden, Poetry and Wrap - last two have sales on.

I don't personally like it but i don't think it's hideous. It's okay.

It's not hideous - I quite like it! But it's made of mostly acrylic and cotton so it's not going to be warm.

It's okay, it looks comfy. I've just ordered this www.stories.com/Ready-to-wear/Knitwear/Wool_sweater_w_polo_neck/582940-1311374.1 am hoping it will keep me warm, it's freezing here too!

Pure wool fair isle, very reasonable price. Crew Clothing often have nice ones in wool too, more expensive though.

Not keen. And it might shed the mohair everywhere.

Funnily enough thats on the mannequin as you enter my local M&S.

DH was moved to comment that somehow they have managed to make a jumper which looked gorgeous on the model in the accompanying photograph totally dumpy in real life !

Ooh thanks for all the replies, and the tips. I've tried Boden in the past; they are quite pricey and I don't find they wash well. I might look again though.

I love the Wrap stuff but their sludgy colours, although I like them, make me look like I am half-dead. I'll have a look at the links from Bexicles and ElizabethBathory, thanks.

Yes, MissMilbanke, I am a size 8 and it makes me look dumpy. I had a voucher and I am desperate for jumpers so I bought it (but can take it back).

Many thanks everyone.

If you're going for warmth AND style, then it's slim-fitting cardigans all the way IMO.

I've never seen a jumper that's looks good with a bosom underneath.

I don't have much of a bosom tbh, SaucyJack

I too like slim-fitting cardigans but they're just not warm enough at the moment.

Maybe I should invest in proper thermal undies instead.

Love the Crew stuff but, wow, it's expensive isn't it?

Sorry - I think it is hideous. It's like something the ugly sister/to be turned into a swan would wear in a Hollywood film.
Sorry.

I think its ok but its expensive for what it is iykwim?

What about New Look Cream Heart Fairisle Longline Jumper for £29?

Or Next Fairisle Pattern Handknit Sweater

Or Black Fairisle Pattern Sweater

It won't be that warm, given the fabric content. I'd go and have a browse on Woolovers - same price point, but proper wool.

I got this what I call my 'over jumper' it is huge! very warm and can be pulled on over just about all my other jumpers.
Good for layering around the house when I am feeling stingy and refusing to put the heating on during the day.

Hmmm. I think it's something that looks nicer on the web page than it will on. I frequently make that mistake!

Looks ok ish on the model but, I think any normal person would look like they were wearing an old Xmas jumper

Oh- elizabethbathory- the woollovers jumpers are fab, thank you! Such a reasonable price too unfortunately , now I don;t know which colour to go with

Tricky one vworp, I think the rich rose, blueberry and grey all look gorgeous. I am tempted but don't neeeed a new jumper..

Another vote against the jumper. It's not nice (especially that material, which I think will look tatty very quickly). I would keep looking.

I love it. I nearly brought it myself and then realised I'm broke! :)

Bexicles I'm loving that Ready to Wear site. My credit card may not!
Have you ordered from them before? Are they reliable?
Thanks, in anticipation.
