Perfect oversized cashmere jumper

16 replies

Ok look I know this is the wrong season 😂

But I'm due a birthday present and I really want a charcoal cashmere jumper for next autumn/winter. It has to be slouchy and oversized, round neck.

I know brands may not have them in stock now but anyone got any good brands to check? I just can't find what I want.

I have thought about a man's jumper but sometimes the shoulders are too big and the hips too small...

Definitely the wrong season but later in the year -
The White Company
Mint Velvet
Jigsaw
Pure
Brora
M&S
Dunnes Stores ( an Irish company ) has 2 designers who might do them in their collections for the Autumn
a) Carolyn Donnelly The Edit
or
b) Paul Costello

Have a look at Celtic and Co in the autumn. They do exactly what you've described every year, but their summer collection is full of cotton and linen. They do some lovely stuff from Geelong lambswool which is wonderfully soft and a bit more hard wearing than cashmere.

NavyGrey.

A "Relaxed fit" one. Pricy but worth it

Oooh thanks for the replies everyone. I like the look of that second soft goat one @steelseries ! Gonna look them up right now

@Gonegrey31 I did actually look at that brand last year but is it wool not cashmere? I'll look again. Maybe I thought it looked a bit thick I can't remember but I loved the shape

@IbizaToTheNorfolkBroads will do! I am fine with cashmere but very sensitive to wool even if soft if there's any element of itch. So I'm scared to order online, but I will give it a lookout 👀

The jumpers are indeed wool not cashmere but really soft and not at all itchy ( and I’m super sensitive to scratchy wool ). Quality is exceptional. Some are heavier weight . I have one thicker one which I think is the heirloom? But my favourite is the Weekend . I have it in a charcoal colour and it is so versatile .

I've been looking at them! I can't tell if I will prefer the weekend or the relaxed. The weekend one I think I'd prefer the neater gauge. But it looks quite slim fitting? Should I just size up? I'm a 10-12 on top, 12-14 on bottom, want to hide my tummy in general... should I get a large?

I also love this soft goat one even though they don't have charcoal:

This is not grey but it's the best cashmere I have ever owned (I have a lot) and exactly what you want otherwise.

It's thick and soft and oversized and like wearing a hug. I have the beige one and wear it almost every day. Best buy of the last 12 months for me! Currently saving for the black, I'd prob buy the green too just to have another one when I have saved up....

Yes I do love that one! Just not the colours right now. Maybe they'll do new ones in the autumn??

I am a 10/12 in most clothing ranges and my sweaters from NavyGrey are S.
However if you want an oversize look you probably need to go up a size ( but L might be too big !). Ask them to give you exact measurements?
