Please help me find a boxy jumper for layering - limited shopping time available

Ok, I had two lovely lightweight (but still warm) jumpers last year. One from &Other Stories(size M) and the other from Mint Velvet (size 12). Both were the perfect wide shape and length to have shirts underneath, both were wool mix and both have been destroyed in the evil washing machine that lured me in with promises of a 'hand wash' wool cycle... Sad

I am back in London next week for 8 days, and only have a couple of hours free to shop. Would love some ideas of places to look for a replacement, or suggestions for something available online that I can order (and return if necessary) within that time frame.

Can anyone recommend a lightweight boxy jumper, size 12-14, possibly in grey/navy (but colour less important than style) please?

Try Uniqlo, they have the extra fine merino jumpers which seem to wash well and are somewhat boxy. I'm really pleased with mine. Definitely can layer them. Uniqlo

I was just going to suggest Uniqlo. I have those sweaters in a few colours, they really are lovely.

It's only the crew neck that is that boxy shape though, the v neck is more fitted.

Agree uniqlo I bought a boxy navy crew
It washes well I do a short 15 min 30 wash with wool detergent as I have killed them in the past

It is just a shame they don't do a massive colour choice! They really a great, especially for this unpredictable weather.

Me + Em do lots of these, and if you look in the sale section they are usually more affordable. You cannot machine wash them though or they lose their shape.

Have bought a more chunky version from Me + Em in sale but hadn't seen these - thanks!
