Buy some thermal underwear. M&S do good ones.
Son who works on building sites wears both short sleeved thermal vests and what they used to call "long johns" under his work gear all from M&S.
It will make a huge difference and perhaps you won't have to get such thick jumpers.1 -
If you win the lottery or a prize on Premium Bonds then Avoca has some lovely sweaters. It’s an Irish brand, I bought a gorgeous heavy duty sweater when we were last in Ireland but my husband keeps “borrowing” it. They do have a website.1

I actually used to wear M&S thermals but I found the last pairs I bought to be very poor value for money. Swapped to government-surplus ex-army thermals (new long-sleeved tops £7 each, long-johns £9) and haven't looked back. We do live in a very cold house ...moonpenny said:Buy some thermal underwear.

Hi OP, did you manage to get yourself a nice jumper?
A very good brand is Woolover. They are not the cheapest but have lots in their online sale at the moment.0 -
A thermal base layer under any top will keep you warmer than any jumper.
I bought the cheapest Temu top and bottom for less than £10 the pair to wear when I'm walking in the hills on the coldest days0
