Where are all the nice, interesting cardigans?

[teacher1984]

You know those cardigans that finish off a plain vest and skinny jeans and make the whole look a little funkier?

Anyone found any?

No, I haven't seen any either. And I'm desparate for a longish one too. I'm 5'8", and yearn after those lovely boyfriend ones that Boden used to do. So handy for slipping over a vest etc.

I have resorted to knitting myself one - something I'm quite capable of doing but have never yet been driven to! I want a nice chunky knit boyfriend one, but one that is stylish enough to not make me look homeless and grubby.

Try zara, they sometimes have long cardigans/ coatingans ;) that look a bit more interesting.

I haven't looked at Zara - I will, thanks :)

Some of the poses etc in woolovers make me cringe but I've got two of the cashmere/merino blend cardis in a gorgeous teal blue and a mustard yellow. They are soft, warm and last well between washes. Zara ones are good but not as great quality, synthetic. Good luck

Talking about Woolovers, I have been looking at their jumpers. The sleeve length seems rather short at 18". Does anyone find their sleeves too short?

what do you think about this?

Banana republic. Uniqlo. Gap. French connection. Depends on what you like. I have a lovely topshop long cardi its tweedy with a ribbon edging looks so nice

I also have s long grey coatish cardi from Zara it is warm I wear in place of coat. Great plains good too. Sorry can't link atm

One of my favourite cardigans is from New Look. It is a lovely sea green colour, and long with pockets. The arms are fairly tight and I can get it on easily over a short sleeve T-shirt, but struggle with long sleeve shirts and T-shirts. I don't have fat arms either.

Plumo, but they're quite £££

oh and Maison Scotch!

I'm liking Woolovers at the mo too, wih the standard caution about their horrendous Nanna-styling!
Bunbaker I've not found the sleeve length too short, and I'm quite tall. You know it's the under-arm, not over-arm length, right?

I've got a nice tan cardigan that's more like a coat from Zara, it has that fluffy wool stuff along the lapels and a big hood. It's really soft and snugly, I aren't usually a cardigan person but I love this one.

I know the measurement is under the arm on Woolovers. I measured some of my jumpers and they are longer than that. I also have quite long arms.

I might just risk it and order the one I like the look of.

Plumo looks lovely - am off to browse!
