Is there such a thing as a glamorous and warm cardigan [or other shoulder and arm covering garment]?

I'm at a lunch in December that I've just been told is "full glam" 😒

I have a jumpsuit which fits the bill but its sleeveless and one shouldered. I could really do with some coverage for my shoulders and arms. A cardigan. What I need is a cardigan. But I could do with a "glam" cardigan.

Does such a thing exist?

Don't get me started on shoes 😡

£?

ThedaBara · 18/11/2025 16:48

What you want is a blazer

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 18/11/2025 16:55

Little sequin jacket of some sort?

Or a fluffy cardigan with sparkly buttons?

You probably want a little bolero. It depends on the venue/ how heated it will be. There are lots of cute faux fur ones.

Some kind of cape or poncho thing?

Whentostarthrt · 18/11/2025 18:30

As it’ll be December, how about a little jacket or cardi with faux fur, feathers or sequins? Anything made from a glamorous fabric that works with the jumpsuit rather than overpowering it - if you want something simpler but still glam, velvet or satin (either the whole thing or as trimming) could work too.

Ive got a lovely velvet blazer from primark recently that I'm wearing with a glam jumpsuit for an event soon (mainly as I'm always cold & cant manage wirh bare arms in the winter). I suggest looking at something like a blazer rather than a cardigan

MeatAndTwoVag · 18/11/2025 20:19

Here's the jumpsuit.
Maybe something like this: Cream Faux Fur Half Jacket | Vinted

Blazer feels a bit formal, rather than glam. Or a bit like a Butlins bingo-caller if I try to go glam: F and F sequin black dress jacket | Vinted 😅

Budget is cheap as possible because I'll likely never wear it again.

I’d go for the faux fur bolero. The blazer looks like it would swamp you.

I've bought some second hard velvet jackets this autumn for the same purpose OP. They're comfy, warm and look great IMO.

You look fucking great in that, OP!

ticktockitsNCtime · 18/11/2025 21:50

I’d wear a fur stole with that

Was literally going to say this

buckleten · 18/11/2025 22:08

How about a pashmina? It does look lovely on you!

FinallyHere · 18/11/2025 22:57

P.sl. Love that look, very glam to start with. Enjoy.

youegg · 19/11/2025 05:27

White or black cashmere poncho.

Twuntismyfaveword · 19/11/2025 06:11

Have a look at Self Portrait, they've got some lovely glam cardigans and bonus, a sale on at the moment. www.self-portrait.com

HollyGolightly4 · 19/11/2025 06:41

All the supermarkets have got black cardis in at the minute with either bows or sparkles. One of them? Cheap and will be ok for coverage. Then you can dance the night away. Jumpsuit looks gorgeous!

SheilaFentiman · 19/11/2025 07:05

Something like this? But wouldn’t be worth it if you wanted to wear once only!

I ordered this recently and it is absolutely beautiful, It is a cardigan but looks far more dressy, perfect over short sleeves, dresses etc, the sleeves look short in the pic but they are full sleeves www.riverisland.com/p/cream-long-sleeve-fringed-cardigan-927908

I love this little jacket from Mint Velvet. You may be able to get in on Vinted. https://mintvelvet.com/products/black-sequin-bow-jacket
Though I think the short fur jacket linked above would work better.
Is the jacket just to cover your arms while you get to your lunch? You look fab in the jumpsuit so I wouldn’t cover any of it up! Get it all out on show!

Black Sequin Bow Detail Jacket

Black sequin jacket featuring a crew neckline, long sleeves and contrast bow fastening through the front.

That is incredible 😍
It's a bit more than I was hoping to spend though.
