Slouchy but nicely cut jumper?

29 replies

NigellasGuest · 26/01/2019 10:01

I'm after a loose-ish black or navy jumper that still looks a bit smart - is this possible? Cashmere or Meriono wool, definitely not cotton / really fine knit. I feeling I'm going round in circles. Does a bit slouchy automatically mean it's going to look really casual or does this thing exist? Any thoughts or recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

I think if you look for one with a nipped in waist or puffed/balloon sleeves with tight cuffs they can still look structured without being fitted?

I have a nice merino one from Uniqlo that might fit the bill.

duriandurian · 26/01/2019 10:19

Hmmm, looks like they are on sale

NigellasGuest · 26/01/2019 10:27

@duriandurian your link takes me to a description with no picture- would Love to see this so can you tell me what the jumper is called, and I can do a search?
Can't find a slouchy jumper with a nipped in waist Cataline- not sure it exists!

It was called boat neck. It is slouchy- balloon sleeves and not too fitted but seems to still show my waist. It is fine merino I think

NigellasGuest · 26/01/2019 12:22

Does anyone have any further suggestions? I'm finding that Uniqlo website really un-user-friendly!

Phase eight do a style called Becca. I’ve got s few, they vary in composition. I’ve got some silker ones snd some woolier.

Have you looked at Celtic (sheepskin boot people)? They sell lots of slouchy jumpers.

Greylilypad · 26/01/2019 13:45

I am looking for something similar and have been searching around. Quite like the look of those on the link I just posted

GivemeGinandTonic · 26/01/2019 13:51

Hobbs have lots of variety and great quality / colours. I got some recently less than half price in the sale 😃

Alwayscheerful · 26/01/2019 15:10

Yes Celtic have some, how long do you need it?

NigellasGuest · 26/01/2019 15:17

Hip length? I like the half tucked in look. Off to investigate all your suggestions..

How about this from Jigsaw, currently in the sale?

I have it and it’s survived a lot of wear:-

Aagh I've also bought one from Arket - thanks Lucked! Must stop now .....

NigellasGuest · 27/01/2019 09:06

So odd - Arket habe emailed to say my order has been cancelled, with no explanation, just that the item "can't be delivered." I've never ordered from them before - it's a bit disappointing. If it's out of stock they should have said before I "bought" it. However I am £50 better off....

Arket have a terrible reputation for online shopping I'm afraid. I've heard so many bad things about them. If you look on trust pilot you will see they do not get good reviews at all for their online services.

DubiousGoals · 27/01/2019 18:41

How is the Hush jumper @NigellasGuest? It's been on my wish list since it came out.

NigellasGuest · 27/01/2019 18:53

Oh, i didn't know that about Arket. Will probably avoid them in future. @DubiousGoals I will post when it arrives - ordered it yesterday so should be here in a couple of days. Watch this space!
