Me too. My adult daughter has one that is similar that used to be mine. White with a soft blue stripe. (It used to be oversized on me, I’m quite a bit larger now) It oversized on daughter now. She also has a couple of oversized long high necked (polar) jumpers too. They look great with trousers & longer skirts, and really good with bias cut skirts (midi length) and trainers.

I just went looking for similar on google. Found a rag&bone knit, white bit with a couple of stripes around hips rather than neckline.it looked good. But way too pricey for me.

I’m thinking a lot of women will be thinking the same as us, and probably won’t be long until we see similar in stores. Hope so.

I would like the earrings. All of them. Even the queens....

The actress playing Diana is very slender with a fairly flat chest.
V-neck cricket jumpers tend not to look good if you have a large bust. If the 'polar' jumper was meant to mean polo neck, these too tend to not flatter a large bust.
You may not need to consider this, but I would.

What?

Purple Doberman what on earth. This is a style and beauty page about clothes. What is the issue?

In the 80s I often wore a man's v neck wool.jumper to get the longer line, baggy effect. Even then they weren't around in the shops for women.

What is the "infamous hoodie"?

I've always loved cricket jumpers. Boden has made them on and off over the years. There was a very nice cashmere one a couple of years ago. I've seen some of the Boden ones on eBay .

Spudlet · 11/11/2022 08:23

Posted on the wrong thread, perhaps…?

Anyway - I also love an oversized jumper op! If you find any good ones, please post links😊 Have you looked on Vinted and Depop too - lots of Young People selling vintage (ie 90s 😭) stuff.

RampantIvy · 11/11/2022 08:24

Yes, I often look at men's jumpers for this reason. I have long arms which helps.

I had a couple of women's cricket style jumpers in the late 80s. One was John Lewis.

I had my grandad's 🤣

It's all coming back to me now!

olivehater · 11/11/2022 08:26

I do have boobs. So need a less chunky one and a thin v.

M and a had them in recently, not sure if they still do

Mondaymorningquaterback · 11/11/2022 08:35

I ordered this from Mango on Monday, was chuffed when I saw Di wearing a similar one in The Crown. Hope I love it as much when it arrives

Old article but some cricket jumpers to lust after & maybe look at on eBay/vinted www.ruthcrilly.co.uk/weekly-window-shop-cricket-jumpers/

@MrsPelligrinoPetrichor You've got me humming Celine Dion. 😉

TwoRockSalmonAndAHaporthOfChips · 11/11/2022 08:37

Ah, the nostalgia! I wore these in the 80s too - wish I’d kept them now, though I am now several sizes bigger than I was then! There were expensive versions, and cheap versions, but I loved my genuine cricket jumper best.

Boshi · 11/11/2022 08:38

Just do a search for cricket jumpers, loads of them on sale now - snatch them up while they are selling them!

Btw I’d love to know why an upturned pavement (?) has so little tact 😂

Housewife2010 · 11/11/2022 08:40

When I used to wear this one, my husband used to call me a Lego Friend!

Diana always looked effortlessly stunning, whatever she wore
(Apart from few fashion faux pa's I the early days)
She would have made a terrific catwalk model

Ummm. What?

I love them too, unfortunately on my middle aged, fat and large of nork body they’d look a twat.

MrsCarson · 11/11/2022 08:53
