Help me find my perfect jumper?!

[Bearlionfalcon]

I really like this specific fit - boxy, sits on the hip so it’s easy to tuck in, and it needs to have this neckline and no weird shaping or puffing or fluting on the sleeves as seems to be the fashion everywhere!

but obviously this is now sold out in every colour except one style in large (I need medium or small)

has anyone seen a jumper this shape anywhere?!

ideally looking for warm autumnal neutrals like brown or burgundy, alternative navy or olive, but open to other colours!

Or this burgundy one?

This is the cheapest Albaray one, but with very low wool content.

I'd prefer the other two for that reason

Can you knit? That’s such an easy style to make & you can buy alpaca wool. That’s way you could choose from an infinite selection of colours

Love the rust & green in this, & the pink is a really unusual mauvish cool pink.

The trouble with Rise and Fall is they do the worst colours in the world. And their marketing is so unappealing. I’d rather pay double for some joy and swagger and pizzazz.

Thankfully I've avoided their marketing so remain unaffected! And surely it depends on your colouring as to how awful you find the colours? I'm strawberry blonde so am drained by beige/cream/grey. But the right greens, blues, rusts, pinks, reds are great, plus navy & sometimes black with the right make-up.

In this particular style, the green is far too sludgy for me - but it would look good on someone with very dark colouring or a strong auburn hair colour.

I bought thisBoucle knit from new look - wouldn’t usually buy knitwear from there but my daughter had one and it’s lovely. I bought a couple of others and they’ve washed really well- much better than my &other stories which is my usual go to.

I quite liked their website actually - understated luxury. It's not my thing but I can see the appeal.

Am now wondering whether DP needs a snood for Christmas

Snoods are great! If you wear one in the same colour as your jumper, it looks like a roll neck - & they're great at keeping you warm with no trailing ends like a scarf (good if you're working/exercising outdoors) but you can whip them off if you overheat. Get one for yourself too!!

Something like this from & Other Stories?

It's acrylic, very little wool, it will go in the bin after 3 washes guaranteed

Thanks so much for all these! V tempted by the New Look one, @Twoshoesnewshoes - would you say it comes up true to size? I'm usually a 10, wondering to go for M or S

I can't wear many things with a high man-made fibre content - they make me smell weird!! Plus I'd prefer the feel of natural fibres & they're (mainly) more environmentally friendly.

This is 25% wool though, which isn't bad at all. More than the jumper that they list as "wool blend", which is only 4% wool!!! A good bargain find!!

Sadly I have expensive tastes but a freelance income ... so it's eBay or Vinted/keeping an eagle eye on sales/asking for Christmas & birthday vouchers for my favourite shops or brands!!

Where did you find this @Tinseltrauma ??? I'm on the & Other Stories website and can't find it?!

I'm viewing on a laptop. Olive and Hazelnut are displaying for me as available in Medium. Burgundy was a minute ago but not now.

If you don't mind cashmere then Jumper 1234 have some fab boxy styles. I buy mine on eBay where they are way cheaper and many are brand new. Jumper 1234's cashmere is lush and unlike M&S it does not go bobbly after a few wears.

I have this jumper and it's in the same material as the M&S one (alpaca wool) and it's so light weight but also incredibly cozy. It is quite fluffy too though and does shed a bit, but I love it:

Yes I just might! Not least because I would smile to myself every time I inwardly used the word "snood"

Even better if you add an extra "o" or two when saying it ... inwardly is probably best though!!

I’m a large 10 and mine is a S

I ordered the new look jumpers! I should have gone for small rather than medium, as they came up huge, so sending them back and getting smalls. But they are great! I wouldn’t say they’re exactly the boxy fir I was after and they are quite thick, but they are still a really nice flattering fit, and a good amount of wool in them for the price!
The new look Black Friday sale is so good! No need for anyone to crowdfund for my jumper at these prices, ha!

ahh great
im wearing a nice sky blue number from new look now - im a convert!

The new look ones are such good value that I can't believe they've got wool in them! Enjoy your new jumper and please let us know how you get on with it and if it lasts well
