Sweater Vest/Sleeveless Cardigan/Slipover recs
Hey fashion friends, it’s a two question kind of day!
I’m looking to up my sweater vest/sleeveless cardigan collection for this F/W season and would appreciate some recommendations. I own one Fair Isle one that’s pretty cool so I’m probably set on that front. Or maybe not idk, if you know of an especially good one lmk.
I’ve been thinking that maybe solid colors wouldn’t be so bad. I’d love a sleeveless cardigan in Shetland wool tbh but I haven’t found much that particularly did it for me.
My second hand forays into knitwear have been very hit or miss so I’d prefer new for this one. EU availability is necessary, 100% wool (of any animal) preferred, budget around 200€, willing to go over for cool stuff.
Thanks ✌🏻

And I think most of the classic shetland makers make solid colored sweater vests if you want to go that route. Like Jamieson's, Harley, etc.
This is probably the cheapest route: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/355754506356?itmmeta=01K68KD1A1QV6VB179S029JX05&hash=item52d49ef874:g:cSQAAeSwt5NorYTA

Purple is good, intriguing - especially since I’ve had good experiences with Howlin before
Have never had linen knitwear before, interesting stuff
Me neither but it's supposed to be quite nice
