Jumper: how to style the sleeveless jumper correctly
The jumper is celebrating its comeback. By breaking all the rules of style this season, you can give this supposedly old-fashioned item of clothing a casual twist.
Hardly a season goes by without a new dad trend being celebrated. After uggly trainers, trekking sandals and bum bags, it's now the turn of the jumper. Thanks to its lack of sleeves, the buttonless knitted waistcoat is the ideal garment for the transitional season. Fashion houses such as Prada, Ganni and Pringle of Scotland predicted the autumn trend at Fashion Week at the beginning of the year.
To prevent the jumper from exuding dad charm, the right styling is the be-all and end-all. When it comes to the onion look, for which the trendy piece is known, don't think of a classic shirt first. How about wearing a fine knit turtleneck jumper or a dress with voluminous balloon sleeves underneath for a change? Be creative and go for modern styles.
How to wear the jumper now
Oversized styles are setting the tone right now. Combine the sleeveless knitted jumper with a dress in the transitional season. Like stylist Pernille Teisbaek, wear knee-high rubber or leather boots to prevent your legs from freezing. Also go for lambskin soles or tights if you're a gfrörli. Hardy people who tend to be hot will wear the it-piece directly on their bare skin on a changeable autumn day like vlogger Brittany Bathgate. The Brit also flouts the golden rule of fashion, which states that wide at the top and narrow at the bottom - or vice versa - is the non plus ultra. This season, the new fashion formula, at least for jumpers, is: wide to wide.
If you still insist on wearing a blouse under your jumper, I advise you to go for a surprising break in style. That way, you won't run the risk of competing with your grandma. Instead of skinny leather trousers, combine your knitted waistcoat with a red, flared model for a change. Dutch blogger Quinty Rijkenbarg proves that this look works with her Insta picture. She even goes one step further and colour-coordinates her socks with the white shirt. As classic loafers would be too boring with this outfit, she opted for a chunky model with a chunky sole.
Of course, a jumper also works with classic basics such as a white shirt and tight-fitting leather trousers. To make sure your outfit doesn't look too old-fashioned, opt for a jumper with a modern, oversized cut and side laces, just like blogger Bibi Horst. You can also look for it in the men's department.
I take my hat off and apologise to Dad for all the years I was ashamed of his style. He knew how to do it after all. It was just the modern implementation that was lacking. If we continue to help ourselves to Dad's wardrobe in the future, Galaxus will soon need a new sub-category: Dad fashion.
