How To Wear Jumpers Fashionably in Autumn/Winter | Cienna Designs
As the leaves age and the weather changes, autumn and winter welcome new style opportunities. Jumpers, jackets, thick boots, and darker hues return to the spotlight and layered looks can finally be put to use once again. The items we’ve left in the closet all year, thinking “this will look great come autumn/winter” have a chance to shine. However, once the cold season arrives it always feels harder to style fashionable outfits, despite all the planning and excitement that went into the change of season. We’ve developed this post to help you wear your jumpers fashionably through autumn and winter and rock your best seasonal looks.
Choose the Right Jumper
Autumn and winter are the perfect seasons to pull out the jumpers and knits and start dressing cosy. There are a variety of different types and colours of jumpers available, to suit a range of different versatility and comfort needs. But to wear a jumper fashionably, you first need to choose the right one for you.
Here are just a few tips to choosing the right jumper:
Neckline
As with any top, there are lots of options on necklines, but it’s best to find the one that suits you. Turtleneck sweaters are great for extremely cold conditions, but a funnel neck sweater is a stylish alternative to this. There are also v-necks, which are great for giving a feminine feel and drawing the eye in and up, perfect for women who don’t have much of a waist. You can also choose from boat necks, crewnecks, off-the-shoulder jumpers and more! It’s best to find one that makes you look and feel great, and go from there!

Length
The length of a jumper is an important factor in styling a fashionable look through the colder months. Cropped sweaters are very trendy and easy to layer over coloured tanks or turtlenecks. Sweater dresses are great for cold days and those looking for an ultra feminine look. Waist-length sweaters are the most common and traditional, and are ideal for a range of different uses. We’d recommend thinking about the bottoms you often wear and how your jumper will work with this choice.

Fit
The fit of the jumper is equally important to fashionably styling your autumn and winter looks. If you’re looking for a relaxed, no-fuss look, a loose fit with room to move is a great idea. Be careful to not choose something too baggy that will add too much volume to your frame – you’ll know when you see it if it’s the right amount of loose! Fitted sweaters are great for clean, classic and structured looks.

Wear it with Appropriate Clothing
When deciding how to wear a jumper, it’s important to consider the clothing you’ll wear alongside it. Opt for fitted jeans when wearing loose, baggy or oversized jumpers to make your legs appear slimmer. A collared shirt is perfect for giving a professional touch to a jumper look. For a casual look, wear overalls on the top of your jumper – it’s a perfect style for days when you don’t feel like putting that much effort into dressing up.
It’s also a pretty good idea to consider the weather. There’s no point donning a big, warm jumper with jeans when it’s a warm fall day. If you’re going to style your autumn/winter looks fashionably, it’s best to match your jumpers with clothing that suits the temperature. Shorter skirts and dresses are great to match with your jumper through the warmer of the cold months!
Accessorise Your Autumn/Winter Look
Including accessories with your jumper can really bring your autumn/winter look to life. Thanks to the ability to indulge in layers through the colder months, you can choose from a wide variety of items. You can rock anything from scarves, hats, and gloves, and still include all your favourite jewels to match. Style them with some heels for added elegance or include long boots for a super snug look!
