Men's jumpers genius idea

[Bodicea]

I am constantly searching for decent fine knit ( I have boobs so can't do chunky) jumpers in the shops. I went shopping the other week and couldn't find anything remotely normal/ plain - all weird flouncy crap.

Was a bit chilly and grabbed dh's jumper off the bannister. A grey crew neck fine knit jumper, of which he has about a million.
Low and behold it fit me really nicely and was exactly the sort of thing I have been looking for.
This is an untapped source! Does anyone else buy men's jumpers? I am sick of being over charged and sold crap just because it's women's wear.

It does drive me mad that M&S do loads of merino jumpers for men but none for women. It's cashmere or acrylic. Why?

Socks are the same. I buy Their mens plain black merino but I have size 8 feet. No such thing for women.

I am an ardent shopper in the men's jumpers section! Helps that in the autumn I always start feeling a bit more butch, but they're also super easy to dress up and make super feminine.

Doesn't work for me as a pear. Shoulders are miles too big if they fit round the hip

This. I've tried a few t-shirts and jumpers but donated them to DP after a quick try-on. The shape is the opposite of mine.

No way could I wear men's jeans - I have 27 waist and 37 hips.

I DO have a gorgeous dressing gown from men's Boden, in dark blue herringbone brushed cotton with dark blue fleece lining. The women's equivalents were all pastelly with cutesy prints . It's fine, although the waist tie is a little low on me.

I buy men's jumpers, slim-fit tshirts and pj bottoms. The fabric is always better, and as PPs have said, during the day I don't wear clothes with cutesy logos or teddy bears or penguins in nightcaps all over them so why the fuck would I want to at bedtime? I don't suddenly regress to a 6-year-old at 10pm.
