Where can I find a cotton sweater like this?

I really like this cotton sweater which was on the Wears My Money newsletter - as a great summer option. But I can't afford it! Where can I find something similar for a much cheaper price? I have scoured around but had no luck.

Thanks, that looks really nice. Unfortunately I’m not able to wear such muted colours but the sweater is lovely.

It's always worth looking at Uniqlo for something as plain as a crew neck cotton sweater. It won't be AS nice, but it will only cost you about £35. Or Woolovers?

Or Lands End? Or LL Bean? Celtic? TK Maxx might have one from a preppy US brand. The quality won't be the same, granted. The Navygrey range is lovely, but is ultra top end and a cotton crew knit is a basic staple that most companies will try to cover.

WNU has this one which is cheaper, but not cheap: https://www.withnothingunderneath.com/products/devon-jumper-cotton-navy

Gorgeous, love the stripey navy one but £140!!!

Soo expensive. Why is everything nice so expensive!!

And finally a gently cropped one which is just what I like instead of drapping over the hips and bum which is never flattering on me.

I have a similar one from Seasalt.

DramaAlpaca · 05/08/2025 17:04

Another vote for Seasalt. They come in lots of gorgeous colours and wash really well. Not cheap though.

This will be very heavy to wear and will take ages to wash and dry! A cotton/synthetic mix would be better.

For £16 this green one is worth a look - next

@thundertoday Cotton Traders always have a good selection of jerseys. So do Scottish Woollen Mill.

Thanks, these suggestions are great although a couple of them are either wool or sweatshirts which I definitely don’t want. Definitely a cotton knit sweater is required for my wardrobe, and the Crew Clothing one suggested by @raspberrycordiallooks the most similar. I’ve sized up as I wanted the oversized boyfriend look. A bargain at £29 versus nearly £200 for the other one!

Thank you!

Both those Navy Grey jumpers on Vinted have small holes suggesting the quality isn't all that.

Oh @thundertoday these were all the rage in the 80s. You're looking in the wrong place. Look at cotton sweaters for men. Much more choice, lovely and sloppy, longer in the body, and better made. We all used to wear them with tight chinos and boots. Had long gold necklace or pearls. You could sew in shoulder pads too.

They're actually lambswool, not cotton

I've looked and looked but can't find this on next's website - could you ever possibly link to it please?
