Long jumpers, pref plain and polo neck, to wear with leggings?

Thigh length, in other words. Would be grateful for any recommendations. Last year I actually found some in M&S but can’t find any this year.
Everyday wear, so not cashmere or dry clean only. I don’t mind spending more than M&S prices for something nice.

I was just reading the 'stylish jogging bottoms' thread, Wizend, and would imagine that there are some stores suggested there that would also apply to long jumpers to wear with leggings. I'm also looking for some comfortable, cosy clothes to wear during winter.

Uniqlo knitwear is great .

I bought a long black cashmere and merino wool wrap-over cardigan recently from Woolovers (sp). I paid a bit more than usual, but I washed it at 30 degrees and pressed it with a cool iron, and it is fine.

Matalan in red, grey and black

Ooh, I'll be watching this, love a long jumper/tunic!

However I won't be going to Matalan, nearest branch is too far away sad

Woolovers and Pure do them, but a bit too pricey for my current budget blush

As I currently only leave the house to go food shopping or to work (and my job is definitely not a place to dress up for) I can't justify spending too much.

My favourite long jumpers are the ones I've stretched myself.

Sainsburys, Phase Eight if you are happy to pay a bit more.
Sometimes Asda have decent quality ones, sometimes not!

I've not seen any in Sainsbury's this year, md.

M&Co have nice jumpers.

I have bought two, Kitty. More above knee knitted dress than jumper.
I like the longer length, covers my thighs if I'm wearing leggings!
They have started offering peite sizes, which is great for me.
Kitty all my colleagues called me MD
I feel loved! ?
