Funky jumpers for women

[izz]

Hello, can anyone recommend any funky, interesting brands ? I'm after a nice warm jumper that isn't boring and that looks at least vaguely interesting - I like the look of the below but the fabric looks shitty - anyone any ideas ?

Have you looked at Uniqlo? They have all sorts of things, and in lots of different colours. Joe Brown or Desiguel also have interesting things, depending on your taste and budget. Jigsaw has a sale on at present, their stuff can be pricey but lasts much longer and better than most brands.

For warmth avoid acrylic or man-made fibres if your budget permits, they're not that good for warmth ime.

Joe Brown I used to find interesting but not so much nowadays, but I hadn't heard of Uniqlo, so thanks very much and I'll look into it.

Oh and Jigsaw too

Ebay search "funky jumper"! (Or similar)

I got this on sale..
It's not a jumper but I love it. It is the cosiest thing to wear.


I throw it on if the house is a bit cold and it's too early to turn on the heating.
It's also great for outdoors and can stand some rain.
It's by Sherpa so I think something goes back to the community. Every item bought apparently provides a day of school.

I've been looking at women's knitwear a lot recently for gift purposes, and the current season stuff looks pretty conservative on the whole. There's some jolly colours and styles to be had, but the affordable/high street end is pretty muted right now, and once you move out of artificial fibres even on the high street the prices start getting pretty steep.

I'd agree having a dig on ebay is a good idea, you can find more adventurous past season stuff, and it's much more affordable than new - Toast, And Other Stories & Cos are all pretty dull this year, but have all made more daring bits in the recent past, which have sat unworn in people's wardrobes for a year or so before being flogged on ebay. I was looking at a lush bright purple alpaca jumper from Toast last night (now gone sadly) which might well have been the kind of thing you're looking for...

And Other Stories

Their last seasons sales are good, and obviously won't appear online. Plenty of interesting stuff and obviously much cheaper. Worth a walk in

damn this thread its caused me to think i might need to buy this squirrel jumper from ebay immediately. Look at the tails though, they are 3d fluffy.

TK Maxx is surely worth a look.

I definitely agree that the current winter season is for the most part quite dull killer b which is a bit of a let down, I think we could all do with some bright colours this winter.

oh no, it's been relisted. Mohair rather than alpaca, but it's all good I guess.

Cowl necks are really annoying, imo, especially if what you want is a warm jumper. Lovely colour though.

The cowl neck is what stopped me from swooping tbh, but I know some people must like them.

Well I think we are going to have plenty of time to knit our own this winter...
