Comparison table of sweaters, pullovers and jumpers
Feature |
Pullover |
Jumper |
Sweater |
Neckline |
The neckline of a pullover is usually v-shaped. |
The jumper has a collar of medium height, sometimes a round neckline, the width of which can be varied. |
The sweater always has a high collar, in some cases doubled up. |
Length of the product |
The length of all presented products, as a rule, does not have any individual distinctive features. Models of each of them can have both a classic length, slightly higher than the buttocks, and can be slightly shortened or elongated. |
||
The length of the sleeve |
The length of the sleeve, like the length of the product itself, is not an individual characteristic. Models may differ only in the presence or absence of rolled cuffs, which may be present in each of the three presented products. |
||
Clasp |
Has no clasps. Even by the very definition, we can conclude about the nature of the product: "pull over" - put on through the neckline. |
It can have a short fastener in the upper part of the product, in the collar area, made in the form of buttons or a zipper. |
The sweater does not have any fasteners and is worn exclusively over the head. |
Material |
It is made exclusively of finely knitted woolen fabric, which stretches well and is quite pleasant to the body. |
The jumper can be made from various woolen fabrics, for example, from cashmere, and also knitted from wool, like a sweater. |
The sweater is exclusively knitted from a woolen thread. |
How to use |
Can be worn both on the naked body and with other elements of the upper part of the wardrobe. |
Both a jumper and a sweater are good to wear on a naked body, putting on only an element of underwear or specialized thermal underwear under the bottom. |
|
Combination with other things |
Pairs well with shirts and ties. As for the bottom, both classic trousers and jeans are suitable. |
Neither a jumper nor a sweater are attributes of the classic style, so the most successful combinations are made with jeans or warmed options for bolognese pants. Classic trousers can be used in exceptional cases. |

Jumper
The classic representative among men's jumpers will be a model of heavenly color, with a round neckline and decor in the form of a special knitting technique with thin stripes and a small breast pocket. This is exactly the case when the jumper fits well into the framework of a business style, so you can safely combine it with straight trousers of a classic model in dark blue or black colors.

A light and romantic look for a girl will turn out if you use a light pink jumper with a rounded neckline, in a thin white strip, located horizontally.In combination with black jeggings, which have a blue spotted print, such a jumper will look fresh and interesting.

Stylish accessories and weighted boots with low soles will be an excellent addition to the look.

Pullover
An incredibly stylish combination for a man that fits well into the office dress code will be a set of a classic white cotton shirt, a dark gray pullover with edging in the neckline in the form of stripes in black, white and burgundy, as well as classic straight-cut trousers sandy shade.
