Fitted black v-neck jumper

31 replies

Trills · 26/09/2016 19:45

Fitted, I say, not baggy.

With a deepish V.

Not cable-knit or any other bollocks.

Not looking like a school jumper.

Where is it? It must exist somewhere.

No replies because it's boring?

Or no replies because it's IMPOSSIBLE?

I have that Uniqlo one IN MY HOUSE.

It is going back.

It is not so fitted.

The v is very high.

If only it were made out of nicer material.

This is the only Autograph M&S one and the V is TOO HIGH AGAIN

I sympathise it's frustrating when you can't find what you want.

This is the navy one I am trying to find a reason not to buy

Thank you for not just calling me bonkers :)

You'd think a black jumper would be a simple thing, but it is not.

That Autograph one appears to have a better V, but it had SHORT sleeves (I could do 3/4, but not short) and doesn't come in black.

Just make all your jumpers in a range of colours, people!

How about gb.benetton.com/shop/gb_en/women/knitwear/v-neck-pullover-185369.html but sadly it has polyester in 😁

Boden are tempting me with some nice knitted dresses but the only v-neck jumper I can find it this one and "relaxed" is not the fit I want.

That's a better V but from this pic and this pic it looks like it's not very fitted.

You will never find it. It is much too basic and sensible an item of clothing. Also it is a law (A Law) that v-necks must never ever be sold in a colour you want. I suggest you look for scoop necks instead. They're all ooover the fecking place always.

Also all tops are relaxed right now. Very depressing.

If you see a scoop neck with a low enough neck and fitted like I want I will happily give it a go!

The fitted-ness of the Pure one looks very different on the different models.

I want a jumper that expects me to go out then in again.

What about this?

rosesandcashmere · 26/09/2016 22:12

I had the most amazing grey one from Zara a few years ago. I must go back and see but I would think they should do black?

Trills · 26/09/2016 22:17

Oh, it's good is it?

It is the only one in the right shape that I've seen.

sentia thank you for your contribution but I have already requested no cable knit or other bollocks.

I completely feel your pain. I am a short arse and trying to find a jumper that doesn't drown me and ends at my waist is impossible. I think I am going to order the first M&S one you linked to though. It looks promising.

I live in fine merino v-necks in the winter. I used to get them almost exclusively from Gap but after accidentally felting an old favourite in the dryer and trying to buy a replacement I was alarmed to see that they aren't doing them this year.

Anyway. Try this one from Banana Republic. Plenty of colours, although sadly black is sold out in XXS, M & L.
