I would wear it with skinny jeans. What draws me to it is that I love the colour and it doesn’t contain wool, to which I’m allergic. My hesitation is that I’m 41, and at this age I wonder whether it would look ageing? On a woman in her 20s it would not, but at this age I’m not sure!

I think its lovely and suitable for a woman of any age

TrulyThere · 10/03/2020 14:44

Definitely fine for any age. I love the colour and sleeves

Purplecatshopaholic · 10/03/2020 15:22

Lovely colour and defo fine at any age!

Bella2020 · 10/03/2020 15:56

Absolutely lovely!

sunshineANDsweetpeas · 10/03/2020 16:01

It's gorgeous. I'm now wondering if I can afford the oat colour Grin

Nice jumper!

CoconutAmericano · 10/03/2020 19:05

Im 43 and i wouldnt wear that. Looks very frumpy imo sorry op

FamilyOfAliens · 10/03/2020 19:08

It does look to me a bit like a jumper you’d buy to hide your shape.

EoinMcLovesCakeJumper · 10/03/2020 19:12

It's fine - I wouldn't wear it because roll-necks do nothing for me, but if it's your bag, go for it. Those oversized jumpers with voluminous sleeves are all over the high street at the moment.

Bluewavescrashing · 10/03/2020 19:13

I like the way it looks but wide sleeves are annoying IME.

helpme7 · 10/03/2020 19:15

25 and wouldn't wear it outside of the house.
It's frumpy and looks like it's for an old person. Sorry.

Cheesecake53 · 10/03/2020 19:16

I think it is lovely and would buy it - I am your age, OP!

SinkGirl · 10/03/2020 19:19

Only if you’re slim. If you’re wide round the bum / hips you’ll look massive (speaking from experience of similar sleeves!)

ScrumpyBetty · 10/03/2020 19:22

I like it

Musicalmistress · 10/03/2020 19:25

I think it's beautiful & suitable for any age.

funnyoldonion · 10/03/2020 19:29

Old person jumper , think I'll get it

Dozer · 10/03/2020 19:31

Dull.

M0nstermunch · 10/03/2020 19:31

Love it!

BrandoraPaithwaite · 10/03/2020 19:34

The sleeves, neck and length are all ageing.

73Sunglasslover · 10/03/2020 19:45

I really like it though it would not be warm enough for me - more of a thick top I think? Unless you wear another layer underneath? Not that you asked about that! I'm in my 40's and I'd wear it. I wonder if the people considering it old are actually a generation younger?

SickOFant · 10/03/2020 19:51

I really hate it. It looks like something for an overweight 70-year old trying to hide her lumps and bumps. There is absolutely no risk whatsoever that you'd see a 20-something in this.

It's dull and looks like something you'd get off a market for £3.99, not £60 Shock Shock

Cherrypie098 · 10/03/2020 19:56

Thank you so much for the replies, everyone! Very interesting to read the different opinions! If I wore it, I would wear a white long-sleeved top underneath in cooler weather.

(I’m size 8 and 5’7”, btw, if that makes any difference.)

BeNiceToYourSister · 10/03/2020 20:12

If you’re size 8 and 5,7 you should be showing off that fab figure, not hiding it under a frumpy tent-like garment Grin I totally agree with PP who say it’s dull/shapeless - you can do way better!

Cherrypie098 · 10/03/2020 20:14

Aw, thanks! :)

The sleeves are a bit too wizardy for me.
