Catherine: I want them too but they're so expensive and I just recently purchased a crew neck sweater from Acne, but it's 100% cotton. (I need something warmer right now!)
i know! they are both so expensive ):hopefully i will find something just as nice (and cheaper!) at a thrift store when i go home for break.also, i love the acne on you.
I'm so in love with those Lou sweaters! The colors and the cut are almost perfect. The price tag, not so much ;n ) Wish I could find the same colors and style, but in cotton or something more affordable than cashmere.
Perfect. I am very inspired by your blog. I am still experimenting, but there will come a day in which I am mature enough to minimize my clutter.XOXO-La Copine=)
I honestly kind of hate that Rag and Bone one (seems chunky/bordering on frumpy and inelegant, and would do nothing for your figure), but the cashmere one is nice. Sorry to be harsh…something about that sweater rubs me the wrong way. :)
Both seem nice but not 100% perfect, do you think? The Rag & Bone looks too oversized, when you see it on the model (imagine how it would look on a shorter woman!). And the Lou looks a bit thin/not really that warm … if that's what you're looking for, then it's v. nice.
Hi:) Big fan of your blog, nice to see a blogger who isn't covered in consumerism and trends.Anyway.. Have you ever tried checking out the unisex wool sweaters with crew neck from Benetton? They are SO nice (I have them in both grey, black and navy) and are the same nice fine knit as the one from Lou (not cashmere though) AND without that (imo) annoying large rib at the wrist.PS; Sorry, my english needs some brushing up..
I am absolutely stunned by your blog, it is beautiful and I love your writing and your attitude towards clothing and shopping. I am so inspired by you right now, I want to start building that perfect wardrobe with the items I love, that are of perfect quality and will last for years. I move to the UK a year and half ago and the consumerism here is unbelievable, most probably due to the very cheap clothing. Unfortunately sometimes I see myself falling into the same category, I feel the need to have new things because everyone else has something new, and this is difficult for me since I have always considered myself as a rather thoughtful shopper. At the moment I think I need to take a step back, find my own style and the key items I want to invest in and then start building the perfect wardrobe. I want to say thank you to you and your great posts and now I will definitely spend more time reading your older posts. xxx
Thanks for the comments :)Alexandra: Which style from uniqlo do you like the best? How is the quality? The uniqlo store in Paris freaks me out, lol.TJP: Haha, you're allowed to have your own opinions. Interesting comment however. I like the chunky look. I like sweaters that are a bit oversized, and I think this one is perfect!S: I like oversized and chunky sweaters. They fit my body shape. Sofie: Thank you, and thanks to your comment (and an old comment about UCB a long time ago), I checked out Benetton today and the sweaters seem nice. I'll have a closer look when I have time. I agree with you, I'm not really fond of sweaters with large rib at the wrist.Meri: Thank you, you're too kind Meri :) Let's keep in touch, I want to see your progress. Do update me now and then :-)
Uniqlo isn't bad at all, considering the price point. Their cashmere is very soft. – I bought a couple of cardigans four years ago, and although they have needed a little mending, they are still in good shape. The colour and shape doesn't change with time. Otherwise try Pringle – their quality is excellent.
Hei!Denne kommentaren er mer generell enn for dette ene innlegget.I dag, etter å ha lest siste nummer av Vixen så jeg bloggen din, og husket med ett den gamle bloggen, som jeg var hyppig leser av.I kveld har jeg brukt god tid på å lese gjennom store deler av bloggen din, og jeg synes den er særdeles inspirerende! Særlig hvordan du bygger opp garderoben din, med få – perfekte – plagg. (Selv om deler av perfeksjonismen sikkert ikke alltid er like gøy…?) Jeg har en stil som er noe ulik din, men jeg tror prinsippene du har en noe som kan føres i alle garderober. Jeg synes det er bra med mennesker som viser at man kan, selv om man ikke har verdens beste økonomi, skape en strålende garderobe med kvalitetsplagg, om man bare bruker pengene riktig, ikke shopper de nyeste trendene, osv. Du har en strålende blogg. Takk for det du skriver. Du inspirerer og har fått meg på tanker, i motsetning til de fleste moteblogger som gjerne inviterer til kjapp surfing og titting på bilder snarere enn lesning av gode tekster og tankeinspirasjon, som man får her.
Sofie: I was referring to another comment from another reader. Welcome to my blog, I love new readers :)Ammu: Thanks for the advice. I visited the uniqlo store in Paris last year, and the store was completely packed with people and I didn't have the patience to look for the cashmere sweaters. I almost fainted in the store because of the mass of people + it was terribly hot in the store. lol!Liv: Heihei, tusen takk for fin kommentar. Jeg er glad bloggen min kan være mer enn kun kjapp surfing. "Jeg har en stil som er noe ulik din, men jeg tror prinsippene du har en noe som kan føres i alle garderober." – Jeg er helt helt enig med deg. Og velkommen tilbake! :-D
At least I know the perfect crew neck sweater is out there somewhere. I went hunting for one in stores and found myself exhausted and disappointed. Thanks for sharing these. I now have some to dream about while I continue my search.
oh that's so funny because i just posted about the lou sweater and a (different) rag & bone sweater. i want them for christmas hahah!

My vote goes to the R&B one.
I love that Rag&Bone sweater!

Åh, jeg vil ha en i ull, så jeg slipper å bruke lusekofta mi hver dag
De ser så gode ud! Jeg ville ønske uldsweatere var lidt billigere!

Adore that Lou sweater. I love the way cashmere feels on my skin but alas too expensive. Back to Uniqlo…herribbonsandherbows.blogspot.com/
A sweater in 100% wool is exactly what i need in this horrible, cold weather…But then it's the price.My previous shrunk after washing, too bad.
The one from Rag & Bone!I love the chunky knit, colour and fit. ..and 100% wool – yes please.
I honestly kind of hate that Rag and Bone one (seems chunky/bordering on frumpy and inelegant, and would do nothing for your figure), but the cashmere one is nice. Sorry to be harsh…something about that sweater rubs me the wrong way. :)

Those sweaters are perfection. Classic and essential. I especially love the Rag & Bone one because of the thick knit.
Both are perfect! Lou reall has great basics.

these are my favorite kind of sweaters! i've had a bit of an infatuation with them for quite some time :)
