Bright Winter colouring - anyone found any ice shades in the shops? White jumpers?

Bright Winter here. I need bright white and ice shades, but they are virtually impossible to find! Every time I buy a white jumper online it turns out to be ivory or cream! I hate the way the shop websites make them look brighter on the screen, but I don't have time to traipse around the shops. I can never find true Ice colours either, only ever pastels which look awful.

Has anyone on here found any items in ice colours or true white? I obviously have white t-shirts and shirts which are easy to find but I particularly need some jumpers / sweaters / knitwear.

(I have tried Kettelwell but their clothes are really dated and slim fitting which is not my style).

I have exactly the same quest! Sooooo difficult to find

GrimDamnFanjo · 16/09/2025 12:19

Yep I've basically given up. There's always Kettlewell....!

Have you come across a brand called NRBY? Our local John Lewis stocks it. They do very vibrant colours. Those colours don’t suit me so I’ve never looked at them to see what the styles are like.

Thanks, but unfortunately it’s not an ice colour. Too pastely / aqua sadly.

What is the difference?

Thanks, very interesting colours!

I've no idea what ice colours are so no help, have you a link to what you mean?

What is the difference?

There’s a massive difference because ice colours are extremely bright, sharp, and clear and contain more white pigment than coloured pigment, versus pastels which are more muted, soft and hazy. In terms of seasonal palettes Winters (and especially Bright Winters) look good in ice colours but not in pastels, which are better suited to summer palettes.

Its the same as the difference between white and ivory essentially.
