Christmas jumpers for men
The tradition of the Christmas jumper began in the 1950s in the United States. In time, the last Friday of December there became Ugly Sweater Day. This light-hearted holiday is all about the Christmas jumper. It is called ugly, presumably, because these pieces are decorated with odd figures of Santa Claus, reindeer and snowmen — think of the ridiculous reindeer jumper in «Bridget Jones's Diary».
The designers at the «Vyshyvanochka» store, meanwhile, have made classic men's Christmas jumpers that bring a festive mood and make a wonderful gift for the holiday children and adults love most.
Men's Christmas jumpers and what they stand for
In our store you can buy a men's Christmas jumper in the white and red palette that suits the spirit of Christmas and the New Year best of all. These colours work for men with dark and fair hair alike.
Figures of playful animals are neatly worked into the whole, skilfully joined to a traditional festive ornament close to the Scandinavian one but with elements that belong to Ukrainian style. Stylised snowflakes and diamonds, in which the masculine and the feminine come together, stand for wellbeing and speak of the spiritual side of life.
The chosen colours deserve a word of their own:
- red has always stood for strength, the will to win, confidence in one's actions and the fullness of life;
- white — a symbol of light and perfection, of the divine.
If you want the new year to go well for someone close to you, a men's jumper with reindeer is worth buying. It will guard against misfortune and set the wearer up for success.
How to choose
When choosing a knitted piece, it is worth looking at the composition. Our designs balance natural wool and synthetic fibre 50/50. A piece like that lasts: it does not stretch out over time and does not pick up the unpleasant bobbling that gives away worn-out clothing.
The threads are colourfast, so they will not lose their brightness in the wash.
You can order a jumper with a high polo neck or one with a round neckline.
We recommend buying men's Christmas jumpers with reindeer in the right size. They are made to precise measurements, sleeve length included, so they sit perfectly on the figure.
Our stylists have also made women's and children's designs in the same style, so you can dress the whole family for the holiday. This kind of family look is becoming more and more popular, and not only at Christmas and New Year.
What to wear it with
A warm, cosy jumper does not have to be kept for the holidays. It works in an everyday casual look too. Put it with jeans or non-classic trousers. For footwear, oxfords or derbies. If you have chosen a design without a high neck, a shirt in a matching shade underneath will look right.
A jumper with a Christmas theme fits easily into a sporty look as well. If you are spending the holidays in the mountains, a design like this will be entirely at home. It goes easily with ski trousers and proper boots.
One more rule fashion experts suggest following: a knitted jumper should hang slightly over the belt.
How to care for knitted pieces
Knitwear is best washed by hand or on the delicate cycle. The water should be warm — hot water will ruin wool. It is better to use liquid detergents made specifically for knitwear. Rinse several times. Do not wring: press the water out gently. Then wrap the piece in a towel to draw out the remaining moisture.
Dry it flat, laid out on a horizontal surface.
