It's a versatile essential for your style, <b>Janet </b>:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/iso-a-good-charcoal-sweater#post-2348675 Thu, 04 Jan 2024 21:25:58 +0000 Indigoprint 2348675@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not meaning to enable you into a purchase, but that neckline in the TIBI sweater is really sweet. I could see it as a great canvas for some of the jewelry that you have. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/iso-a-good-charcoal-sweater#post-2348637 Thu, 04 Jan 2024 14:36:17 +0000 Janet 2348637@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, everyone! This is so helpful! Jessikams, i didn’t realize Tibi has a big sale coming up, but that’s really good to know. I really like how lightweight that piece is, even though it feels like good quality. So many things that are light are flimsy or see-through. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/iso-a-good-charcoal-sweater#post-2348585 Thu, 04 Jan 2024 00:31:13 +0000 Jessikams 2348585@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Tibi is about to have a big sale! I’ve never regretted any purchase from them. I just wait for sales or buy used. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/iso-a-good-charcoal-sweater#post-2348577 Wed, 03 Jan 2024 22:42:51 +0000 Dana 2348577@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love charcoal!!! I'd looked at a couple of sites for you and also thought of Quince, but I missed the one ELPGAL found...seems great!I like that it can dress up or down.&nbsp;</p> <p>I have one of their silk blouses and it's lovely! I also looked at Naked Cashmere but no charcoal. I'll look forward to seeing what you find!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/iso-a-good-charcoal-sweater#post-2348574 Wed, 03 Jan 2024 22:32:17 +0000 Jonesy 2348574@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, broken record that I am, I would suggest TheRealReal, but I know that's probably not your go-to :)! Charcoal is definitely hard to find right now, but hopefully some of these leads will pan out for you. My SO bought a few cashmere pieces from Quince and has been happy with the quality. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/iso-a-good-charcoal-sweater#post-2348342 Mon, 01 Jan 2024 18:08:33 +0000 kkards 2348342@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Take a look at everlane. &nbsp;They have a cashmere and a cotton. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/iso-a-good-charcoal-sweater#post-2348338 Mon, 01 Jan 2024 17:25:43 +0000 Janet 2348338@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, all! Good ideas. Elpgal — I haven’t tried Quince either, might be worth a try for that price! </p> <p>I’ve always defaulted to V necks but am feeling the crew neck more these days for some reason. I like both! I’m also dipping a toe back into turtlenecks but I am very, very picky about them! </p> <p>Carol, that’s a good looking sweatshirt! Does seem the right vibe. Interesting! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/iso-a-good-charcoal-sweater#post-2348310 Mon, 01 Jan 2024 06:02:06 +0000 elpgal 2348310@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Carol, can you share a link to the sweatshirt? Got bleach on mine today and need a sub. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/iso-a-good-charcoal-sweater#post-2348303 Mon, 01 Jan 2024 02:33:24 +0000 Roberta 2348303@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You might look at Banana Republic. I have a charcoal gray sweater hoodie from them that I bought a couple years ago, along with several other Fabbers, and I wear it at least once a week. Here is one cashmere possibility from the women's section: <a href="https://bananarepublic.gap.com/browse/product.do?pid=443677092&#038;cid=5032&#038;vid=1&#038;nav=hamnav%3Awomen%3AWomen%27s%20Clothing%3ASweaters&#038;cpos=8&#038;cexp=2252&#038;kcid=CategoryIDs%3D5032&#038;cvar=17249&#038;ctype=Listing&#038;cpid=res23123118318887490927655#pdp-page-content" rel="nofollow">https://bananarepublic.gap.com.....ge-content</a></p> <p>I also own one of their men's Merino wool sweaters, and it is just beautiful: <a href="https://bananarepublic.gap.com/browse/product.do?pid=815074032&#038;cid=28660&#038;vid=1&#038;nav=hamnav%3Amen%3AMen%27s+Clothing%3ASweaters&#038;cpos=19&#038;cexp=2252&#038;kcid=CategoryIDs%3D28660&#038;cvar=17249&#038;ctype=Listing&#038;cpid=res23123118376118225686307#pdp-page-content" rel="nofollow">https://bananarepublic.gap.com.....ge-content</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/iso-a-good-charcoal-sweater#post-2348302 Mon, 01 Jan 2024 02:33:04 +0000 Catmom 2348302@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just got a couple of v neck Uniqlo merino sweaters and noticed they also had the charcoal in a high crew neck. They are a nice light weight and unlike a lot of other sweaters I don’t find them itchy. I got one in a women’s S to wear alone and one in a men’s S for a more fluid fit over shirts.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/iso-a-good-charcoal-sweater#post-2348301 Mon, 01 Jan 2024 02:17:26 +0000 Carol 2348301@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So....not exactly on topic, but the exact requirements spell out a sweatshirt I got at Target that I love. If you also need a sweatshirt.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/iso-a-good-charcoal-sweater#post-2348297 Sun, 31 Dec 2023 23:13:25 +0000 Aquamarine 2348297@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Agree with April…check out RL. I bought two cashmere sweaters on sale a while ago, and they were part of the unisex line. Maybe too classic for you but I was just craving simple, high-quality. Not sure what colors are left. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/iso-a-good-charcoal-sweater#post-2348296 Sun, 31 Dec 2023 22:45:18 +0000 elpgal 2348296@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Janet, haven’t tried Quince sweaters but does this fit the bill?</p> <p><a href="https://www.quince.com/women/cashmere/cashmere-crewneck-sweater?color=charcoal&#038;gender=women&#038;tracker=collection_page__women__all-products__1" rel="nofollow">https://www.quince.com/women/c.....roducts__1</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/iso-a-good-charcoal-sweater#post-2348295 Sun, 31 Dec 2023 22:05:14 +0000 April 2348295@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mr. A asked for and received a charcoal crew-neck for Christmas.&nbsp; It was from RL, cashmere, men's but I sometimes like&nbsp; the fit of a men's sweater.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>It's called "washable cashmere" but this is silly - cashmere much prefers to be washed.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/iso-a-good-charcoal-sweater#post-2348293 Sun, 31 Dec 2023 21:41:11 +0000 Suz 2348293@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love charcoal. It is a fantastic alternative to black for those with your (or my) colouring. But it's sometimes hard to find in women's clothing. The Tibi sweater looks lovely. I like that kind of envelope style neckline. Super flattering to almost anyone. It seems like an elevated merino tee. Super useful item.&nbsp;</p> <p>J. Crew and Marks &amp; Spencer do merino sweaters (without the fab neckline) like these but no charcoal that I could find this year.&nbsp;</p> <p>I haven't seen this one in person from Kit &amp; Ace and it is a V neck so perhaps not what you would like, but...FWIW:&nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.kitandace.com/products/dreamy-merino-v-neck-sweater-heather-charcoal?tw_source=google&amp;tw_adid=&amp;tw_campaign=16752906635&amp;gad_source=1&amp;gclid=Cj0KCQiAv8SsBhC7ARIsALIkVT0TlpaeHP876bAZn9ey4TNAoZVOS964Oboi8v5PQaSGMAZDU0OziaEaAnLmEALw_wcB">https://www.kitandace.com/prod.....le&#038;am</a></p> <p>Everlane has a boxy cashmere sweater but it's a lighter grey.&nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.everlane.com/products/womens-cashmere-boxy-crew-sweater-heathered-grey?collection=womens-sweaters">https://www.everlane.com/produ.....ion=womens</a></p> <p>Another option is to look at men's sweaters.

I do like merino. </p> <p>I tried on the one in pic 1 below at Tibi in NYC and really liked it. It’s definitely on the high end of what I would pay, but it’s a great piece. Can be layered over or under, comfortable and not itchy, a great weight and perfect easy (not quite oversized) fit in medium. I have it in a shopping cart online but I thought I’d see what else is out there before I pull the trigger. </p> <p>I see this one in pic 2 on the COS website but haven’t seen or felt it in person. Any insight? Other recommendations? </p>
