Reasonably priced, decent jumpers and cardigans?

[ReallyLazy]

I'm looking for new jumpers for my winter wardrobe. I don't have good relationships with knitwear usually. I always ruin them in the laundry. So if anyone could give me shop/brand direction? and laundry tips would be most welcome!
I'm early 30s and like plain colours. General style is quite classic but with the odd country style thrown in.

I dont mind spending 50 - 70 quid of i can get a couple of winters out of it.

Woolovers a great start, natural fibres, just don't tumble dry them.

I got some really lovely cashmere jumpers from Boden last year - relaxed fit v-neck. They were expensive full price but they have 20% offers quite often

Most washing machines have a hand wash cycle. Use Woolite or similar. If hung to air they should only need occasional washing, don't overdo it.
Hobbs have nice knitwear too .

Uniqlo are always great quality basics.

I agree with the above. They arent the most fashionable cut but you cant beat woolovers for a decent hardwaring warm natural fibre jumper. I dont go for the cashmeresimply because I destroy cashmere. But the wool jumpers I reckon are pretty indestructible including in the washing machine

I am a huge fan of Woolovers which I only recently discovered. Very good quality and good customer service.

Avoid acrylic. Merino is good.

I find M&S good for jumpers. I've some that are over 10years old and still look good.

I also recommend Woolovers.

Sézane do excellent knitwear but the jumpers are around £90. Last forever so stylish and comfy. (No I don't work for them!)

zara have some nice knitwear

Brand alley had done good Ralph Lauren jumpers on sale today.

Also came on to say woolovers.

Uniqlo are always great quality basics.

Agreed. I buy a couple of either Merino or Cashmere sweaters from here each year.

Uniqlo extra fine merino, I have several of their cardigans for work, they are machine washable and look good as new after two years.

Definitely cashmere. Really not that hard to care for. I put it in the 15 minute quick cycle on a low heat and gentle spin in the machine, then tumble it on the cool setting. Store it in a zip bag with lavender sachet to keep the moths away during summer. Buy in the sales. Kitten soft, lasts forever and keeps its shape.

I really like countryattire.com-they have lots of v expensive clothes but can have good knitware items on sale sometimes. Yesterday, I bought a lovely navy Joules jumper and White cable knit jumper-Peregrine.

Woolovers, I love the cashmere. I handwash in cool water and dry flat.

Oh also, I find Jack Wills Cable Crew Jumpers good quality and if you find Ralph Lauren on sale, the quality is excellent-I have had Ralph Lauren Knitware which has lasted for years so I would see it as an investment!

I know mumsnet love cashmere. But it only takes one rogue moth and hundred quid worth of investment is down the drain. [Side eyes the bag of now worthless cashmere jumpers]. If you prefer your clothing low faff it really isn't a good choice.

How do people find the sizing at woolovers? I'm considering a purchase but am between sizes and wondering whether to go up or down

I think Woolovers is fairly true to size. I would go up rather than down because I don’t like things to be on the tight side.

Woolovers used to give exact measurements of the garments so you can check. If you wanted a close for you should size down.

Try Edinburgh wooden mill , in amongst the polyester and dubious prints they do some good basic Wool & cashmere jumpers & cardigans

I find woolovers true to size. You could also try pure collection. Cashmere from both is so soft, like wearing a hug.
