Men's jumpers: crew neck, roll neck or zip neck, the knitwear that dresses winter
A men's jumper bridges the gap between shirt and coat: it keeps you warm without weighing you down and adds depth to an outfit. The Jerem men's jumpers collection brings together crew neck, V-neck, roll neck, funnel neck and zip neck styles, in merino wool, pure lambswool, cotton and cashmere, or in jacquard and cable knit. Everything you need to dress warmly, at the office and at the weekend.
Which jumper neckline should you choose?
- Crew neck: the most versatile, worn on its own or with a shirt collar just showing.
- V-neck: it opens up the chest and shows the shirt and tie, making it the jumper for smarter outfits.
- Roll neck: it replaces the shirt under a jacket for a clean look, without a tie.
- Zip neck or half-zip: open it when it's mild, zip it up when the wind picks up.
Merino wool, lambswool or cotton: which fabric should you choose?
Merino wool is finer than classic wool: it doesn't itch, regulates temperature and can be worn next to the skin. Lambswool, taken from the first shearing, is the softest. Cotton and cashmere adds softness at a light weight, ideal for the transitional season. Pure cotton suits those who prefer to avoid wool.
Jersey, honeycomb, cable or jacquard knit: what's the difference?
Jersey is a smooth, fine knit that slips easily under a jacket. Honeycomb traps air in its cells and is warmer for the same weight. Cable knit adds volume and a more casual style. Jacquard brings a pattern woven into the knit, for a jumper that stands out.
How do you wear a jumper with a shirt or a jacket?
Over a shirt, choose a crew neck or V-neck and let the shirt collar show. Under a jacket or blazer, go for a fine jersey or merino knit that doesn't add bulk. A roll neck, on the other hand, works perfectly on its own under a suit jacket.
How do you choose the right jumper size?
The shoulder seams should sit on the shoulder bone, and the hem should cover the belt without going much further. The ribbing at the neck, cuffs and hem should hold without squeezing. If you wear it under a jacket, stick to your usual size; for a more relaxed look, one size up can work.
How do you care for a wool jumper?
Wash cold or on a wool cycle, dry flat and avoid hangers, which stretch the shoulders. Between wears, let the jumper rest for a day: wool recovers its shape on its own. A comb or a fabric shaver is all you need to remove bobbles.
Why choose a Jerem jumper?
Jerem men's jumpers combine fine materials with careful finishing: ribbed trims, structured collars, elbow patches on some styles. They pair with our men's cardigans for milder days, and with our coats when winter sets in.
