Vibrant colour cardigans

Faith

I am on (what feels like) an eternal hunt for cardigans in vibrant, strong colours. I mean like emerald green, hot pink, royal purple, sapphire blue - colours like that. All I can find in the shops, for the last few years now, are pale, washed out shades. In an ideal world, they'd either be waterfall-ish style in a fine knit that hits about hip level, or one with buttons that is only to my waist. I wear a lot of dresses with a cinched waist and flared skirt (skater style, basically) and I need cardigans to go with them, particularly for work. Has anyone got any ideas where I could look?! I've tried all the usual suspects - ASOS, Boohoo, New Look, etc. M&S have some, but they're really dowdy in style. Vivien of Holloway have some, but at £50 a pop, they're a bit out of my budget!

Something like this, but cheaper, would be great:

Or this is a less rubbish colour:

Ugh, the search for nice cardigans continues.

I got some nice bolero style ones on ebay over the summer, but they wont do much for me in winter, too short.

I will watch this thread with interest.

Uniqlo or Benetton maybe but you are looking for a shape that isn't that popular at the moment.

Watching this thread - I know exactly what you mean!

I've gotten nice ones in Heatons, Tesco, and Asda before.

Dunes had lots of bright color waterfall carfigans last time I was in.

Those Lindybop ones look lovely!

Uniqlo have nothing, unfortunately. Dunnes might have something, but I’m not living in Ireland right now so hopefully they deliver!

Don't know your size, but Evans do from size 14 upwards: and they have this one in a nice purple, found online (may be in shop too)

Bit big for me, but thanks .

Even that purple one captures the issue though - it’s an aubergine colour more than bright colour. Why is fashion so focused on dull colors?! I know it’s autumn and mustard/orange/brown are all the rage right now, but surely there’s room in the market for brightly colored staples

I was in Pennys today and saw they had brightly coloured cardigans in pink, they might have had other colours too but I didnt see.
