Sweater; what do you think?

[greendressblueshoes]

Is this sweater really nice or just too much detail/pattern/colours?
I can't decide and it's too expensive to make a mistake.
It's really good quality but I'm not sure. I need a good warm sweater but maybe something plainer?

Sorry but I’m not keen on it. It does seem expensive for what it is.

I like it. Good quality wool is expensive these days, which is ludicrous when you consider how many sheep there are in some parts of the country and how fleeces are considered so worthless that farmers burn them (at least I heard this was the case some years ago, not sure if it still is).

It's not the price that's bothering me as its really good quality wool and I keep my clothes for ages, but is it too busy?

Yes I think it’s too busy. Something plainer would give you more options plus might be cheaper.

I like it personally. It's a bit busy but not too flash or anything.

It'd go with jeans/cords/chinos..

No not too busy but I would wear with plain lower half clothing, not another pattern. It would go nicely with jeans.

I don’t like it. I want to like it but it doesn’t quite work. I think it’s the paler bit by the neck that doesn’t work too well.

Toast had a lovely green jumper a bit like that but much nicer.

This is the one I’m thinking of but it’s more than double unfortunately.

I absolutely love it.
Can’t afford it or else I would buy it to wear it with my khaki leather pencil skirt.

I think if your dominant colouring is warm then it works. Otherwise the yellow might seem a bit off.

I quite like it but I think the design is odd. Kind of looks like it’s on inside out?
I don’t think it would be particularly versatile though.

Too busy, Celtic and Co have more beautiful jumpers

I wear a lot of colours and patterns so busy isn't generally a problem for me, but I don't like this. I actually prefer plain knitwear to pair with patterned tops, skirts or dresses usually.

If you like it then obviously go for it - it's not awful in any way if that is what you're asking.

I tried that jumper on . It was an earlier edition in different colours. I had loved it online for ages - but in real life it was a disappointment. Maybe it just didn’t suit my shape but I felt the fit was a bit odd and it didn’t look the way I expected

I much prefer this one: www.celticandco.com/womens/clothing/jumpers/statement-donegal-jumper?colourID=753

I’ve had a few Aran sweaters, hoodies etc and one mistake with the wash (blame DH here) and it’s 1/4 the size…they’re gorgeous but how will these wash?

It's not expensive for what it is. It's good quality yarn and donegal jumpers aren't cheap.
Does it suit you?

@nordica's link is better
The fossil colourway is very tempting

The Toast one is £185 on the uk website
