Where are the nice v neck jumpers?

Having a good set off boobs on a size 14 body, I really prefer a v neck over crew neck, but I have struggled for years to find nice quality jumpers with a good v neck.

Would love for you to share your finds and inspire me?

Thanks for sharing. Our large M and S had none of these on display. All crew necks. Irritating.

Love a V neck! I've got massive wide shoulders so the V breaks up the outline a bit. Following with interest.

Thanks for the info re Roman. I've just bought a jumpsuit and have received this for sharing amongst friends.

If you're buying - this will get you 25% off!

I've been thinking the same. A brown v-neck jumper has been on my wishlist for almost 2 years now and I can't find one.

House of Bruar have this in a few different shades of brown, as well as lots of other colours - I have it in Peat and I’ve just ordered a couple more as they’re on sale

Woolovers? Good quality

Wonderfulstuff · 04/01/2025 14:46

The annoying bit is when I eventually find a longline v neck jumper with some natural fibres in a larger size it is inevitably sold out because there is so little choice and other smarter women have got there first! Woolover being a case in point sadly.

I used to buy a acouple of M&S longline cashmere v neck jumper each year but alas they no longer make them.

Thank you, thank you for posting this query, I'm also a size 14 with a 34ff chest and love v necks but struggle to get good quality ones. I'm in Ireland so some different shops but same issues unfortunately. I'm tempted to try on some mens v necks because recently my husband and I were shopping together and the variety and quality of mens was far superior to the womens, M&S was an example of this, lambswool, cashmere and cotton mixes for the mens dept, all synthetic in the ladies. I'll be going online to check out the suggestions given.

I recently bought 3 from Karen Millen

Following with interest.

Has anyone ever found a v-neck or even a low scoop neck Christmas jumper? Or more specifically a winter jumper like the skandi/fairisle style with the pretty colours. I know they are knit in the round with a yoke (?) but there is a way to sew, cut, and open up the neck.
My wrists hurt too much these days to try and knit one :(

GermanBite · 04/01/2025 15:26

Word of warning on this one - I bought one and washed it on a cold delicate cycle and lost its shaped after one wash. The hem and neckline aren't flat anymore.

Following, I also like a v neck.

Has anyone seen any shorter fitted v neck jumpers for wearing with skirts?

I haven't tried the M&S ones for a few years but I think they might fit the bill.

TheBookShelf · 04/01/2025 17:41

I like Woolovers and House of Bruar - both include V neck jumpers in all sorts of colours.

hannonle · 04/01/2025 18:11

So close, but I feel the neck is pretty high even in a v neck.

I'm so fussy, but thank you for the link.

I got a lovely Roman one from matalan this week.

Agree that most of the necklines out there at the moment are really unflattering for those of us with boobs

Thank you! I've got a double whammy in that I need a V neck because of big boobs but I'm also allergic to wool. Just trying to find a V neck in viscose or cotton is harder than finding a herd of white rhinos.

These are definitely easier to find. Whenever I think I've found a good jumper, it's a shorter body one lol.

There's a few on ASOS
ASOS v-neck

But I'm having a brain blank where I've seen them. I might be confusing v neck with cropped hoodies which are also everywhere I look.lol

BinkyBuntyFintyCunty · 04/01/2025 19:04
