On the hunt for jumpers to wear with skinnies

I pretty much live in black skinnies and boots from now until March-ish and I’m looking for a couple of new jumpers (or cardigans) to wear with them but for some reason I’m finding it difficult this year! I think because I have put on a little bit of weight and I’m a bit self conscious.

I prefer a slightly looser and longer jumper for skinny jeans to balance out my bottom half. Ideally I’m looking to spend under £80 and as much wool as possible (😬).

I love love love this Arket one as an example but it’s just way too expensive for me atm - https://www.arket.com/en_gbp/women/loungewear/product.roll-neck-cashmere-wool-jumper-beige.1195375003.html

Thanks in advance ☺️

You might be finding it difficult this season because most stores are now about looser/wider jeans with a slightly cropped/neater top half.

On instagram, stylebyclairelopez did a recent post about what to wear with skinnies.

I ordered and received this today from ACAI, I’m really pleased with it! Being half price helped! I think it ticks most of your boxes. Merino/ acrylic mix. Comes up big.

I haven't looked at the other stories website for a month or so but they do have gorgeous knitwear as a rule. I also got a lovely one from Oliver Bonas last year. Also try Uniqlo

Have a look on wolf and badger, they have a good variation of styles and prices.

I saw this a while ago and loved it.

For budget ideas H&M have some lovely neutral coloured basics, jumpers, roll necks and cardies. I was having a browse today and was tempted to get some.

Why are people linking to really brightly coloured jumpers when the OP has posted a very classic cream jumper?

CoffeeBeansGalore · 16/10/2024 21:00

Sosandar have some nice jumpers

I bought this last week and it's ideal - similar to your Arket one @PippyPip - a bargain at £25 and not wool but soft and comfortable to wear with a lovely shape.

You don't say how tall you are, but don't discount the smaller sizes in men's sweaters. M and S men's start at about 36 inch chest size, and they're likely to be longer in the body, if oversized is what you're after. A classic roll neck sweater has got to be the ultimate gender neutral garment, after all. 🤷‍♀️

Have you looked at woolovers? They do longer line jumpers in merino and cashmere like this www.woolovers.com/womens/jumpers/cashmere-and-merino-long-sleeve-cowl-neck-jumper-cream-26941

CookieMonster28 · 17/10/2024 06:23

Another vote for H&M they've got lots of lovely neutral knits in
