V neck jumper help

[PhyllisWig]

Bloody hell it shouldn't be this hard. I swear to god I used to be able to get these without even thinking.

I need one or two v necked fine knit jumpers for work which I can either wear under jackets or with shirts under. I can't really afford cashmere and can't wear wool. Ideally it would be a cotton blend but at this stage I'd take anything which lasts beyond a wash and doesn't squeak.

I thought the tricky bit would be that I need a colour - green or purple or teal rather than a neutral. I don't really want red as I have a red coat and a red work dress and fancied a change. However I can find a reasonable amount of colours just not v necks.

I know lots of people swear by uniqlo but the colours are really wrong for me as I need something bright (their purple seems to be a maroon purple whereas I need a bright one).

I went into every shop i could find today including John Lewis. I have tried the supermarkets. I have had woolovers before but they never fit me right. I haven't tried Zara or mango yet. The only possible I have seen is the Tilly jumper in Boden but it's £50 which is more than I want to spend unless I can get a really good code.

Can anyone help?

kettlewell? Not a jumper as such but looks like a fine jersey. It's viscose. There are some nice colours.

I bought 3 cashmere vnecks from ebay. About £20-30 a pop and in fab condition (brora, pure collection and tesco).

I never have any luck with eBay tbh but I shall take a look, thank you.

The kettlewell top does look like a top rather than a jumper unfortunately. Shame as it's the right shape/colour

Sorry forgot my manners - thanks both

How about this one from Boden? m.boden.co.uk/en-gb/womens-knitwear/knitted-jumpers/k0023/womens-tilly-v-neck-jumper

Look at men's departments. I have long arms and have a lovely men's cotton jumper from M and S.

What about woolovers.com?

I'm struggling too. The choice seems to be either cardigans or round necks.

Plus why does so much of the knitwear have 3/4 length sleeves or batwing sleeves (or both)?

Oh, and why is so much longer at the back than the front?

I got one in mango last year, it's quite thin but ok with a vest underneath.

I also use men's departments especially at Debenhams.

Oops, sorry, just noticed you'd already seen the Tilley jumper OP

I got a couple of lovely cotton ones at Verona airport recently from Pullove.

No ones mentioned the dreaded m&s - this used to be the sort of thing they did well, have you tried them?

Thanks for all the suggestions, will look through.

I've had men's jumpers before for casual but I'm little - only 5 3 with a short body so they don't really fit, even the extra small ones. I need quite fitted for this purpose.

M&s was awful btw. I said to dh did it, it may be a bit rubbish but at least it will something that basic - no. Only a 'super soft' i.e. Really low quality squeaky acrylic effort in a washed out navy. They had a few ok coloured polo necks and I tried one just to prove I didn't suit them. I didn't.

Try Esprit...they sometimes have some useful stuff. Can't vouch for the squeakiness or otherwise of the knitwear though as I have only bought t shirts and vests.
