Clean, simple but bold clothing

I really like jumpers and knitwear or sweatshirts / tops etc that are clean, simple but also bold and slightly striking - if that makes sense. I am tall and a winter colouring and things that are clean clear and contrasting suit me more than say little details, fiddly patterns or ditsy fabric. So I avoid things like crochet, lace, ribbed knit etc but I do like a bold stripe, an asymmetric zip, a side stripe, a wide sleeve, etc.

Because of my colouring I can’t do nudes and neutrals, so I look for clear white, black, navy or forest green etc.

I quite like the Jaki London asymmetric knit, and I found this sweater (linked) which I really like in White Company but cannot wear that colour.

Does anyone else favour these styles and if so where do you shop please?

COS is my go to for similar style pieces!

Sounds a lot like Cos and Reiss to me. Maybe the odd lucky find in Uniqlo or Zara/Mango. Me & Em or The Fold in the sale or if budget allows.
