Mum wants a cardigan - help!

Without the random old lady brands at Debenhams to go see I'm struggling. M and S not inspiring me. She wants blue. Hip length or mid thigh. Not fine. Pockets a bonus. Zip through a big bonus.
I've tried Roman, m and s, fat face, white stuff, cotton traders. Size 16. Are there any in Primark? Has anyone been? She loves the last one I got her there and could get her pjs then too and some m and s or lush smellies to go with
I miss Debenhams!

COS has a nice range of cardigans.

GeorgeMichaelBluth · 03/09/2021 03:47

Matalan has some nice blue thick ones.

Or house of bruar - they often have offers but not many zips / Lands End ? all googleable - there is a house of briar long navy cardigan I covet - pockets but no zip - I may have to measure tomorrow and order

I wish you well @polkadotpjs & I hope you find what you are looking for - I am out of ideas - ha ha

Try Woolovers. They have a few with zips (one in blue stripes if I remember correctly).

Edinburgh Woollen Mill have taken over a lot of the brands my Mum wears

Cotton traders

TU Sainsbury’s do good knitwear.

naturealwayswins · 03/09/2021 08:46

Another vote for Woolovers. They have zipped ones, but maybe not long enough for her.

White Company

No buttons but could be closed with a brooch. I have it in burgundy and love it. www.bonmarche.co.uk/jumpers-and-cardigans/fan-stitch-edge-to-edge-cardigan-9000033.html?cgid=womens-knitwear&dwvar_9000033_color=30

H and M do basic cardigans.

eddiemairswife · 03/09/2021 15:18

Try Damart. I am currently wearing a navy blue, hip-length, pocketed one. Buttons though, no zip.

ApolloandDaphne · 03/09/2021 15:20

Lands End, Damart and Cotton Traders are my DMs go to brands for cardigans. She likes a hip length cardi too.

florentina1 · 03/09/2021 16:25

Cotton Traders has a big selection.

Bearnecessity · 03/09/2021 18:53

Mint Velvet

Debenhams still have an online presence - Debenhams.com
I miss the stores, too! Hope you can find something for your mam.

VanillaAndOrange · 03/09/2021 19:43

Are there any in Primark?

I can't remember whether they've got them at the moment, but Primark usually have long cardigans with pockets. They don't have zips though, they're just open. I've got a black one and it's a very useful shape.

Rainallnight · 03/09/2021 20:12

What about this one from Cos? Not blue but a lovely colour, very stylish and with a zip!
