K/R/E - winter wool pullovers

Astrid

Veteran

Luckily the pullovers were still left in my size when I could order them, so here they are. I'm keeping #1/2, if you don't notice anything wrong with it. I really like the color and it's cozy. The second one is definitely too big, but I'm not sure whether I should try a smaller size or not. It looks kind of boring right now, but that might not be the case when the fit is right, I'm not sure. I also could try the green (#6) instead of the navy, that might be more interesting.

Fwiw, all my sweaters look like that black one looks on you, on me. One of the woes of being busty, I suppose. It doesn't look bad to me,. If it were me, I would actually would suze up on the first one, but that's me not liking my sweaters too tight.

That first one is really pretty, btw. So is the green one!

I do like 1/2 on you. The other one is kind of dark to see very well, but it isn't wowing me. The green would probably be wonderful on you.

I love 1/2! The navy one does look too big. I like the green too, would it work with your wardrobe?

Astrid do try the green one. It would look fab on you. I would buy all 3 in a heart beat. Which are these?

#1/2 looks great and I would keep it. I'm not sure on the navy one because it's so dark that it's hard to see definition in your picture. The green is a really pretty color and would probably look great on you. I guess it just depends on if it goes with more of your wardrobe than the navy.

Keep 1/2. I like the second one in 4/5 and notice that it has those long sleeves that Angie blogged about today. In 3 it looks more blocky, but it may be the pose. The green would be a gorgeous color on you.

Thanks everyone! I'm going to keep #1/2 in this size, I like the fit for a turtleneck sweater. The second one definitely feels too big to me. I'd wear these with jeans/pants and boots in the colder months, so the green would work just as well as the navy if the color suits me.

Ramya, here are the UK links (I ordered on the German website):

Love 1/2 on you! I vote to exchange the navy for green in a size down. While I'm sure navy looks lovely on you, I'm betting the green will be fantastic with your skin and hair.

Thanks Carambola! I'm thinking of just keeping the first one and sending the second one back. The green is lovely, but more expensive than the navy and with shipping added... One new sweater might suffice.

I'd vote exchange for green in size down - the navy seems too strong on you. Good pick in #1/2!

The navy looks too big to me. First one and third color are fab. I have to say I'm getting rid of a old black sweater that is similar, because it seems easy to wear but something about the proportions on me always look wrong - like I'm chopped in the middle. Maybe not good for an IT? Because they look so good on you!

I am an outlier but vote for pursuing the navy in a smaller size. I like how the colour looks on you.

Thanks Alasse, Una and Manidipa. I've already washed the first one and packed the navy one up to return it tomorrow. I'm still thinking about the green one, but I'm leaning towards not ordering it.

Oh #1 is so pretty! Can't wait to see you style it. If the green is as bright as in the pic, I know it'd be too bright for me, which I only mention because we seem to have similar colouring/colour preferences.

Thanks E! I think you're right about the green. I won't order it in any case, I'm budgeting the money toward other things.

I really like 1/2 and I'm glad you're keeping it. And I'm not too excited about the second sweater, perhaps better size would be more tempting to keep but there are better things out there I am sure.

I love #1/2. The navy does look a little bit too large. I definitely think you should try #6. On my browser it looks mort like turquoise than green, but whatever I think it would look great with your hair. Also, a bright color could add some cheer on a cold winter day. Hope it fits and you like it.
