Hi!  I NEED to find the amazing sweater that Eddie Redmayne's character wore in My Week with Marilyn. I love the look of the shawl collar and chunky knit but haven't seen anything remotely similar! Trust that you'll have more luck! I'd love to know the exact sweater and where I can buy it, but if it's ridiculously expensive, some more affordable alternatives would be much appreciated. R

I love it when dudes write in so R, for the sake of all future male readers I promise to do my best.  As for the exact sweater, to be honest, I don’t know for sure, but I’m going to guess he’s wearing Burberry seeing as he’s the face of the label and all.  Needless to say it will cost you a pretty penny, but don’t sweat it because I’ve found some great look-a-likes.

I stumbled on this kick ass menswear site called Mr. Porter and they had some seriously great cable knit options.  Click here, here, here and here.  Good, right?

J Crew is the mecca for soft, stylish knits and of course they have a great classic chunky sweater that will never go out of style.

Check out this one by Vince – it’s a basic you’ll have forever, oh and did you see the great suede elbow patches? This is win for me.

Finally, click here for a steezy sweater by Selected.  Happy Shopping! xx
