I want a jumper which basically you throw on when its freezing cold but look instantly stylish in a casual but gorgeous way.

I have found this from Outnet which is the closest think I can find. However, would prefer either 100% wool or cashmere (or natural fibres, at any rate).

Specific details would be:

roll neck
must be long and loose in the body (do not want "skinny fit")
any colour except black or beige.

Have you looked at John Smedley? There's one called Mint, range of colours, 100% wool, roll neck. Hard to tell fit from pic but desc says 'slouchy yet stylish' or something to that effect.

I presume you've looked at all the usual suspects- brora, pure etc?

Also check out the possumdown site- most contain about 10% nylon but the possum makes it so amazingly soft and warm. NZ exchange rate makes it dirt cheap too. Plus free shipping on orders over NZ$100

Uniglo have cashmere basics at fantastic prices.
The quality isn't fantastic but good enough for a good quality 'throw on' layer

sorry - I was just agreeing with ChrisMissWooWoo ( but didn't credit her )

Thanks for all the suggestions!

Yes, have trawled through usual suspects but they are all either too fitted or just a bit .

Loving the John Smedley and the Uniqlo - although am leaning towards the Uniqlo as love the brighter colours. Am in London on Monday so will get myself to a few stores and check out.

Thank you. You are all stars
