Short fitted jumpers for wearing with skirts

[bendmeoverbackwards]

I am struggling to find the right jumper to wear with skirts. I've got a few short skirts, some straight, some slightly A-line but don't know what to wear with them!

My existing jumpers look wrong, too baggy. I've got some v-neck cardigans which I've tried with a vest top underneath but that doesn't look right either.

I am 5'3" and inverted triangle shape so a v-neck suits me ideally.

And I feel the cold too!

Any suggestions please?

I can only seem to find more fitted jumpers with a round/crew neck.

Uniqlo have lovely Marino wool (or cashmere for a higher budget and more careful washing) v neck jumpers in more fitted styles and lots of colours.

Thank you @UntilYourNextHairBrainedScheme I might splash out on cashmere

Do you know how Uniqlo come up size wise?

Do you know how Uniqlo come up size wise?

I'm a size 10 with big boobs and buy medium. They shrink a bit on washing, so they are a bit baggy to begin with and fit perfectly after. (Mine are the merino wool, not cashmere)

I'm a 12 or 14 on top and 10 or 12 on the bottom depending on brand, cut etc etc (32 G / 34 FF) and have some M and some L in Uniqlo things - L in the Merino wool jumpers (I have 3 ). I tried some things on in store a few days ago and prefered L - as Sparkai says to allow for washing.

I have a selection of short jumpers from Superdry in XXS, so quite fitted. They only problem is that they are all round neck, so perhaps not quite what you are looking for.

They are warm though.

I am an 8/10 and uniqlo small fits perfectly. I have quite a few of their merino and cashmere jumpers and they have all lasted well. I machine wash on a delicates cycle.

& Other Stories have some nice cropped jumpers. Slightly loose boxy fit and quite flattering. I've bought a high-neck one but they may have Vs too. There's some nice chunky ones (mine's a bit warm for just now, so I'm waiting eagerly for really cold weather )

Lots of different necklines and colours in Benetton.

I always like the looking the woolovers ones. Pricey in my book but they look lovely

Following this thread as I have exactly the same problem with skirts! I bought a nice v neck jumper from H+M but that was some years back and it needs updating now really!

I’ve just bought this jumper from Toast. It’s definitely an investment but it goes with absolutely everything www.toa.st/collections/womens-knitwear/products/stripe-lace-yoke-sweater-green-multi

I buy cashmere jumpers from Pure (in their sales because they are a bit expensive!) - lovely colours, lightweight but warm.

M&S merino wool jumpers are quite fitted and a great price

Whistles Annie jumpers are very lightweight and ideal for this

I really like the collared Esme jumper from Hush, but wasn't prepared to pay £89 for it, so I bought this instead for £32 and it's so lovely and soft, looks great with skirts.
