Help me find a relaxed, thin long sleeve ‘jumper’ for summer throw-on

I’m looking for a loose-ish but fitted, thin fabric, maybe a bit of a more open weave…I know exactly what it looks like in my head but I can’t find it! I’ve got white company in mind but they don’t have what I’m thinking in stock.

wanting to achieve that nonchalantly, effortless classy look for throwing on with chino shorts/boyfriend jeans and Birkenstocks for example (which won’t quite happen as I’ll be pasty and covered in food/baby snot) ..thanks for any suggestions!

Uniqlo merino crew neck in ivory, stone or pale grey?

Geometric · 22/05/2022 16:31

Celtic & Co? Sold in M&S and JL too. www.celticandco.com/womens/clothing/linen/linen-cotton-sweatshirt

I've been looking for the same-ish thing; I have in my head a kind of ribbon knitted boat neck jumper in a neutral taupe, with long sleeves I can roll up. I'd wear a white vest underneath and with jeans. I don't think it exists though, sadly!

IbizaToTheNorfolkBroads · 22/05/2022 16:38

I got exactly this from Crew clothing about 18 months ago.

Llamasally · 22/05/2022 18:10

@Geometric this is very very close, it looks possibly a little thick but will order and see!

Yes @Gherkingreen I think we are channeling the same look - colour and all! Let me know if you spot anything

@Gufo do you have one of these? I love merino but worried it might be too hot for the purpose?

I think you need a linen knit.

Something like this? Comes in other colours as well.

I tried this on today and came to mind when I saw your post.

More towards taupe than camel irl and as reviews say comes up big (as everything does these days)

MrsWidgerysLodger · 22/05/2022 18:58

I currently have this from phase eight

Not actually an off the shoulder hobby, more like a wider relaxed crew neck. Looks lovely when on and it easy to throw in a bag.

ladygindiva · 22/05/2022 19:00

This thread is wonderful. I've been searching for a replacement exactly as described, I had a benetton number that fitted the bill that eventually fell apart after about 12 years of constant wear.

Billandben444 · 22/05/2022 19:07

Go cheap. Go Primark. They're full of thin, loose knit long-sleeve tops in bland colours. I've had olive green and a biscuity coloured ones for a few years and they wash beautifully.

Gherkingreen · 22/05/2022 22:10

@Llamasally the Hush one is gorgeous; bit more than I was looking to spend but it exactly fits what I had in my head

Llamasally · 23/05/2022 06:12

@Gherkingreen the M&S one from @TheOGCCL up thread is very similar and cheaper, I might order both and see what they are like IRL

Just came hunting for this thread to say they might have the perfect thing in TK maxx. They had several colours and sizes available in my local. it's not letting me add the right picture to the thread but hopefully you can see the material. They were £21.99

An investment but good options here, I have one and love it navygrey.co/collections/shop

faithinnature1 · 25/05/2022 16:25

Or try finisterre

Pliudev · 02/06/2022 18:59

Poetry or Wrap have loads to choose from. Pricey but the sale should be coming soon and I've always had really good wear out of them. Also, just picked a Wrap one up on Vinted for £8.

SparkleMonster · 02/06/2022 19:45

Sosander have a few that might be the sort of thing you're looking for: this one or this one?

BlueTitSmilingAtMe · 02/06/2022 19:54

Agree with a pp that Primark has loads of tops that would fit the bill. This one for eg:
