Anyone bought new sweaters recently?

[Bluejeanz]

Looking for some crew neck sweaters for autumn ... not particularly inspired by Boden. Where else shall I look?

I bought this from Jigsaw as I like the colour in turquoise.

Back is a bit weird- the bottom hem is very droopy. And it was too expensive. But I like the colour. So all in all

Next have some nice ones right now.

Brora...in the sale

Leopard print primark impulse buy. I only went in for work tights.

It's worth checking out woolovers. They only do natural fibers but always have slot of styles. Online and mail order.

Primary slouchy charcoal grey. Very thin but I love it and at £6 I may buy all the ones in my size!

I’m wearing this in last season’s navy version today:

It fits so so nicely I’ll be getting a couple more in the sale!

Uniqlo extra fine merino are superb.

Primark chenille in grey.
I was looking for a chenille jumper last year but they were either short'n'boxy or horrible colours or polo/cowl necked.

Happy with my jumper (not cold enough to wear it yet)

Yes, a bunch of stuff at White Company as the cut suits me. Prices are ridiculous

Pure Collection cream sweater. Ordered it online and sent it straight back because the fit was terrible.

Thanks all ... off for a google now. What is Arket like ... I haven’t heard of them?

I’ve been buying up Benetton merino knits from tkmaxx lots of lovely colours and very good price wise

Warehouse do the best for me. Great range of colours. I’m just waiting for the standard September 20% off, I’ve got four in my bag.

Sorry Bluejeanz, just seen this.

Arket is a Swedish brand that is part of the H&M group. It’s a more expensive form of H&M, a cheaper form of Cos, and a more Classic form of & Other Stories.

The quality is very good. Cuts are simple and elegant. Delivery takes a while, so I go for next day.

One from Primark for a fiver, lovely and soft. Today I bought one from Asda for mils birthday, it's dark with foxes on , so cute £14

Arket are more expensive than Cos but not quite as sculptural.

I just bought the UNIQLO merino boatneck in red. Be warned, they are enormous in comparison to usual Uniqlo sizing, I'm normally an M at Uniqlo but I had to return that and get an XS to get the fit I wanted.

So ... sweater = jumper?

In my head, a sweater is a cotton/fleece number whereas a wool/merino/acrylic knit was a "jumper" or "knit"?

A sweatshirt is a cotton/fleece number.

Sweater=jumper=ganzie=pullover. Preferably made with real wool. Only fashion people talk about wearing a knit.

Only fashion people talk about wearing a knit?? Seriously?

I've never used the term sweatshirt however. Or ganzie (never even heard of this one!). Or pullover. Interesting!

"Preferably" made with real wool ... unless you're allergic to it, I guess, like me!

Anyway OP I'm never inspired by Boden either so can't blame you there. What style of jumper do you like or suits you? Is it for work or casual?

70isaLimitNotaTarget and anyone else...

Don't put your chenille sweater in the washing machine. I speak from bitter experience.

I tried on a jumper in Cos yesterday. It was nice. I didn’t buy it because I wasn’t 100% sure about the colour, but on reflection I’ll probably go back and get it.

Thanks for so many suggestions. Hope to get some time to browse online over the weekend.

Laughing at jumper - sweater - sweatshirt - knit. For me, jumper and sweater are exactly the same (wool), a sweatshirt is a casual cotton affair but not woollen, a hoodie without the hood. And I never use the word knit unless I am actually knitting something!!

@CountFosco I like that uniqlo jumper. I'm a size 10-12, do you have any advice what size I might order? I don't have a store anywhere near me to try it on.
