Chunky, slouchy knitwear Recommendations

I have fallen in love with knitwear of this type. I am long in the body so fitted jumpers/cardigans always looks ridiculous and lead to cold back or constant pulling down/stretching of said knit.

I saw this on Pinterest yesterday (courtesy of MrsRadicchio ) but cannot find anything similar. Has anyone seen anything similar?

I also love this . I have found a similar jumper at ASOS which isn't quite as vivid a pink but it is much deeper than it looks on the photo on their website. I ordered the Large (am a size 10) and it fits as per the Pinterest photo.

If you're not bothered about the wool content, H&M can be good for chunky slouchy jumpers in a thick or Aran knit with or without roll neck. Only good if you are near a store though as their website is full of nothing but fine knit fitted jumpers with the exception of this cardigan

Topshop?

Difficult colour to wear for many though think it might come in other colours

Sorry, might have misunderstood your OP - are you looking for a hot pink jumper? Read it that you were keeping the asos jumper and looking for other chunky knits in general - sorry!

Hush have lots of nice slouchy jumpery things. Pricey but actual wool and stuff. I usually wait for the sales.

Thanks for the links/tips.

I can't wear 100% acrylic - it makes my hair totally static and I can't abide the feel of them - kind of squeaky! The ASOS jumper is the maximum acrylic content that I can bear (almost a 50/50 split with cotton). It arrived today and it is gorgeous and not remotely "acrylic-y".

TheBitterBoy I have been quite disappointed with Hush of late. I was tempted by the sale but the reviews on most of the knits are pretty poor. Have you bought anything this season that you would recommend?

I've got two of these from Hush. The beige and the mixed colour one. I've been living in them but then I am seven months pregnant. They look great over a fitted top and jeans. Lovely cut and nice soft yarn.

I have the chunky waterfall cardigan too, got it on the sale and I love it. I also have two fine knit neck jumpers.
