Sweatshirts with wide or scoop necks?

LouraLoura · 02/07/2022 16:02

I used to have a few of these, they look more relaxed and elegant than those really high round necks that look as though they might choke you. I've looked everywhere, not even fussy if it's 100% cotton, I just want a sweatshirt for cool summer evenings that slouches nicely and doesn't look like the neck is designed for men.

Has anyone seen some around?
Or like me, do you miss them and find the newer styles too tight at the throat?
The very worst place for this is H&M, even their tshirt necks are throttlingly high.

Do you mean wide enough to go a bit off the shoulder ? That’s what I’m looking for. I know it’s a bit 90’s but I quite like a vest strap visible under an off the shoulder !

I've had some from Hush in recent years

Sweaty Betty sometimes have them.

Like thingy from Flashdance? I'd like one too

Is that called a boat neck ? I like that too

www.hush-uk.com/int/relaxed-linen-blend-jumper-cloud/002588-0340.html something like this?

Have checked SB, no joy. I have a lovely old one from COS but no joy there either.
Will check out Hush, thanks!

Yes, I do mean the slight shoulder peep Grin I like how a nice alternatively coloured yoga bra strap is just visible beneath it...

I loved that in 'cloud' but sold out. Would prefer without pocket as it looks more like a tee.

Whilst this one at Hush could be wider, it is at least getting there!

thanks ladies!

I’ve just been in Next and searched ‘off the shoulder’, they’ve got a few.

I like River Island for these things, this one is a hoodie.

I also often just cut the neck off t shirts and sweatshirts to make them comfier and more flattering.

I am constantly looking for one too and can never find the perfect one. I had one from Selfish Mother which was perfect. I've been contemplating this recently but I'm not really keen on slogans.

I have a hankering for one if these which seems to be what you’re talking about op? Wondering has anyone tried this brand? Is it good quality?

Wow, they’re expensive. I think I’ll get something from Primark and cut the neck off instead !
