Vintage jumpers or sweaters are a wardrobe staple that offers modern women heaps of versatility when putting together flattering outfits. They are particularly popular over the winter months. Wearing them gives instant warmth and they are also cozy to carry. This is the time of year we find ourselves reaching for our plushest sweaters and cardigans. Whether you are looking for something for year-round wear or are in need of cold-weather comfort, here is a quick guide on different types of jumpers.
Turtleneck and Roll Neck Jumpers
Despite being designed in the 1930s, this classic style did not gain popularity until the 1970s. Turtlenecks, also known as roll necks, are a chic statement piece and were originally seen as a protest against stuffy office attire. They have a higher neckline and are among the cosiest and most comfortable for winter wear. They also look great when paired with denim jeans and leather Chelsea boots.
V-Neck Jumpers
You can’t go wrong with a v-neck if you’re layering a collared shirt beneath your jumper. This look is very flattering, and a deeper V lengthens and slims your silhouette for a sleek and sophisticated appearance. A well-fitting v-neck jumper shows off what’s underneath, so if you have a favorite shirt or blouse that you want to show off, this could be the style for you. These jumpers are luxurious, comfortable, and ideal for layering during the colder months.
Oversized Jumpers
The oversized piece of knitwear, also known as cashmere ponchos, is one of the most popular looks this year. Oversized jumpers are a luxurious and comfortable addition to any wardrobe and are suitable for all body shapes and sizes. Combine your oversized jumper or cardigan with a pair of close-fitting trousers and knee-high boots for an elegant yet effortless winter look this autumn and winter.
Crew Neck Jumpers
No wardrobe is complete without a crew neck jumper, and this is because they go with everything. This winter, a simple crew neck is an excellent choice to wear over any other type of top, including collared shirts and blouses and will complement any outfit. They are ideal for everyday wear and can be dressed up or down to create casual yet stylish looks.
Longline Jumpers
Longline jumpers and cardigans are essential for the ultimate modern look this winter. A longline cardigan or sweater, which straddles the line between effortlessly chic and playfully casual, will quickly become one of your all-time favorites. They’re ideal for the colder months because they allow you to layer without adding a lot of bulk to your silhouette. Longline jumpers and sweaters differ slightly from oversized designs in that they do not have oversized proportions throughout the garment and will give you a more closely fitting look than oversized designs.
Final Thoughts: Are Jumpers Only for the Winter?
Knitwear is a must-have this season, whether you go for an oversized look, classic cable-knit, or fitted, high-neck jumper. A winter jumper can be worn with anything from jeans to leather skirts to formal trousers for a day-to-night look.
