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

That Arket one is indistinguishable from a Fruits of the Loom one!

@Ellapaella I am a size 10, normally in Uniqlo that would be a medium but it was enormous, it was baggy around the hips on me. I ordered an XS and I was happy with the fit but I'm short and wanted it probably a bit neater than average, if I was taller a S would probably have been fine so for a 10-12 I'd go for a S or possibly an M if you are tall and want it really slouchy.

Saw a nice one in white stuff today, was beige, my children are still in the chaotic with the Bolognese sauce stage so it was immediately written off!

7togo ah yes it might donon the website. And I wouldn’t have bought the navy one at full price. I was quite happy though to pay £13 for it in the summer sale. But the quality is quite different; it has a lovely soft feel, a slightly marked look, and the fit is so much nicer than a usual sweatshirt. A couple of people have commented on how nice it is! But I agree it looks like nothing more special than Fruit of the Loom on the site 😂

I meant marled look! Not marked!

This one in Ochre, I may have gone a little mad but its utterly gorgeous and if I could afford it id buy another colour

Laska5772 · 11/09/2018 21:05

Oh and at the other end of the price scale This M&S one Its a lot nicer and a brighter pink than it looks on the photo

I'm also looking for some new ones, but i like mine in a fine knit and more form fitting, these appear to be all quite bulky and shapeless. They would just make me look like an apple on stilts, 🤣

Hobbs do a couple of great ribbed fine knit ones that are very flattering, which I got last year, need something else though.

Can I second Brora in the sale - I bought the most gorgeous block colour jumper from there this spring, cosy and smart.

Anyone who is size 8-10 and not a short-arse, I also ordered this which is a lovely lightweight autumn jumper (but not designed for someone of 5' 1" very sadly).

Laska I love that jumper - it would be perfect with leather leggings. I really like it in the cobalt too!

Fabulous tomatoes It was a bit Shock buy but I do love it. Smile
