Anyone else notice that almost all round neck jumpers, for both men and women, are advertised by retailers with a white long sleeved crew neck top peeping out? But do you think the same retailers sell a suitable white long sleeved crew neck top? No they do not! No amount of ‘shop the look’ or ‘we think you’ll love’ leads to one.
I have several said tops but none of them are quite right. The necks aren’t quite high enough to poke out the top, the sleeves aren’t long enough to poke out the arms of my jumpers, the length isn’t enough to peep out the bottom (or it’s too long and over-peeps), the material isn’t right etc etc.
I have quite specific requirements. It has to be thin enough for layering, and close fitting enough to not add bulk. It has to have nice long sleeves. Most importantly the neck has to be a proper CREW NECK, and not advertised as crew neck that turns out on closer inspection to be a scoop, boat or slash neck. If anyone has bought a top that fits all these requirements and comes in a size 12 please would you share it.
I’ve added a picture of one that looks perfect for reference but of course it’s only available in a 20 or 22.
