I've always found Benetton to have good quality cardigans. They don't seem to have a working online shop though.

Rosemunde also make nice cardigans and tops: www.rosemunde.com/rosemunde-women-1003/cardigans-1007/

Sometimes H&M have some nice classic cardigans too.

I got a nice short navy cardigan from New Look. It even had sleeves long enough for my ghandiesqe arms. They also had it in camel & floral prints.
I also saw nice cardigans in fuchsia and turquoise in sainsburys. Unfortunately the sleeves weren't long enough for my horse like limbs and they looked rubbish rolled up-but i'm sure on a less lanky person they would fit great!

These are nice from Boden. They have a contrast edging so they're plain but have nice detail.

I've just ordered a pink one after seeing a friend in mint green. Notice that they're aren't many sizes left now though due to sale.

I second the New Look suggestion. I have two and was really pleasantly surprised by the style and quality, I was not expecting it.

Don't forget M and S.

And Topshop.

And Uniqlo.

Nice cardigans.

If GB had a national costume, that would be part of the female ensemble. And, to be honest, i don't know what I'd have done without cardigans this "summer".

Wool overs for me too. They do seem to do a lot of discounts and multihull offers.
