Apparent they're going to be big this autumn / winter

Is it a big thumbs up or a massive no?

Depends on your shape, I'd say. Smile

Thin fitted sweater or baggy/thick?
Or is it all types?

I like them, especially the slouchy cashmere roll neck ones

plimsolls · 22/10/2016 11:33

I love them. Can't wear my usual staples (mostly wool & silk mix from Cos or chunky wool from Whistles) because I'm breastfeeding this year but I've just bought a lovely slouchy black roll neck one from Mothercare.

I think they add too much bulk at the waist to pears and hourglasses, but often very good on apples.

I think they look cool but find them impossible to wear in the office, shops or pubs. What do you do when there's heating on high?

elephantoverthehill · 22/10/2016 11:37

I love them and bought a few last year. I feel about 6 years old again when wearing one with woolly tights Grin.

I haven't seen any, do you have any links?

elephantoverthehill · 22/10/2016 12:06

Sainsbury's Tu had some great ones in

AnnPerkins · 22/10/2016 12:20

Yes, but thin knit and not roll neck. All that heat around my neck and face would make me spontaneously combust.

I like wearing mine with opaque tights and high wedge ankle boots.

I haven't had one in years, decades even. After siting, standing and moving around for the day they used to go out of shape and look like a sack of potatoes. Are there new fabrics that stop them going out of shape?

FuckThatToOneSide · 22/10/2016 14:09

Some are nicer than others of course, but I generally love them.

I want to get a jumper dress but my waist is virtually non existent at the moment, so I think I'm going to have to avoid. Some of them are lovely though. I suppose it could work with a fitted cardigan or a belt with my figure.

I like them but struggle with the right shoes/boots. I have very thick calves so they look terrible with ankle boots and I don't have any good longer length boots either anymore.
