Recommendations for a nice winter jumper?

35 replies

I’ve had an unexpected windfall of £125 and I’ve decided I’d like to treat myself to a lovely new winter jumper. For reference, I’m 5 foot two and somewhere between a size 12 and 14. Most of my clothes come from either Tesco or Primark (both of which I love) but I’d really like to splurge and treat myself to something lovely. I doubt I’ll get pure cashmere on my budget, but possibly a cashmere blend? Or just something more luxurious than I’m used to! I would prefer a looser fit over a cropped style. Does anyone have any recommendations? Or suggestions for places where I could look? Thank you!

Kinda depends if you want 'classic' or something more edgy. Falling more into the 'classic' arena is WoolOvers - they specialised more in merino but also have cashmere in different cuts and colours. Super quality and plastic-free yarns. They also have a sale on still. https://www.woolovers.com/outlet

M&S cashmere is good for the price. I wash all mine on machine wool handwash. I size up to allow for a bit of shrinkage.

For a just about affordable heirloom, look here:

Scroll through for sale knitwear. (Everything is almost life-changingly wonderful and anything on sale is a steal.)

Sorry, what with the what now?

Now they would certainly be life changingly wonderful!

Jigsaw cloud cashmere is very good quality. It is quite fine and I get it dry cleaned rather than risk washing. John Lewis own brand cashmere is generally good for everyday wear, and I wash that in the machine with stergene or Woolite on a 400 spin and dry flat on a towel.

Lots of cashmere at Uniqlo. You could afford two jumpers

I agree with buying one from vinted. I received a lovely pure cashmere jumper as a gift, however, it was sadly too small. Unfortunately the gifter couldn’t return it or swap it as they’d bought it more then 30 days before. I sold it on Vinted for £25! It was £90 from M&S. If you’re not keen on buying on Vinted. Here is the original from M&S

I saw some nice ones in the White Company sale yesterday including some with cashmere. Limited sizes left though

I was going to say Woolovers too - really lovely classic jumpers. This one would be a winner for me personally.
