Size & Fit

Half-zip jumpers come in various fits that influence your outfit's appearance. A Slim-Fit jumper hugs snugly for a streamlined look, perfect for layering under a blazer or men's jacket. A Modern-Fit offers a bit more room but retains a sporty edge. Conversely, a Regular-Fit provides extra space at the shoulders and waist. Opt for a Relaxed-Fit to enjoy greater freedom of movement and a laid-back vibe. Use the size chart by the shopping cart button to find your perfect fit.

Material Choice

The material determines the jumper's insulating and breathable properties, as well as its stylish feel. For a luxurious look and optimal comfort, select merino wool: temperature-regulating, soft, and odour-resistant. If you prefer something lighter, cotton is a fantastic choice, easy to care for and perfect for spring. For those seeking a sporty or technical jumper, blends with polyester or elastane (stretch) are the go-to.

Colour & Design

Playing with colour and design allows you to experiment with different styles. Neutral shades like grey, black, and brown are great for a timeless and versatile ensemble. Earth tones, chunky knits, and contrasts work well for a stylish yet subtle impact. Avoid busy patterns if aiming for a more formal look. Match the colour to your eye, skin, and hair tone for a fresh, polished appearance.

Brand

Almost every clothing brand offers a range of men's zip jumpers, but some truly stand out. For a rugged look, opt for PME Legend and Barbour. If you seek a versatile jumper, explore the collections of Casa Moda and William Lockie. Still undecided? Visit one of our stores for personalised advice.

How to Wear a Half-Zip Jumper?

Weekend Casual

Weekends call for effortless style and comfort. Pair the jumper with Slim-Fit jeans and a basic T-shirt for a laid-back yet polished appearance. Slip on some sneakers, add a watch, and you're good to go. Heading out? A lightweight jacket or a gilet complements your outfit well. Opt for quiet hues like navy, grey, or olive for endless style options.

Smart-Casual for the Office

The zip jumper serves as the perfect mid-layer here. Wear it open or halfway zipped over a crisp white or light blue shirt, with the collar peeking out for added style. Pair it with dress trousers or chinos and formal shoes or men's trainers in a minimalistic design. Opt for a finely-knitted merino wool jumper in classic colours for a professional look without feeling overly formal.

Outdoor Layering

A zip jumper is a must-have for a layered outfit. Begin with a breathable T-shirt or thermal as your base layer. Layer the zip jumper on top, preferably made of wool or technical fabric for warmth and moisture management. Choose a half-zip for easy ventilation during walks or bike rides. Complete the look with a wind- or water-resistant jacket as the outer layer.

Maintenance - Keeping Your Men's Half-Zip Jumper Sharp

It's best to wash the zip jumper inside out on a wool or delicate cycle at a maximum of 30 °C. Use a laundry bag to protect the zip and zip it up during washing to prevent snagging and fabric damage. Lay the jumper flat to air dry, avoiding the dryer! A quick airing after wear works wonders. Store it folded in your wardrobe to maintain its fit and style.

FAQs about Men's Zip Jumpers

Are hoodies still in style?

Absolutely, and they've moved far beyond home loungewear. Hoodies have become a key element of the modern men's wardrobe. Whether you opt for a casual jeans-and-sneakers combo or a stylish streetwear look with a trench coat and chinos, the hoodie remains relevant. Choosing a minimalist hoodie without big prints in a muted colour is always a safe bet.

What to wear under a zip jumper?

Because a zip jumper is so versatile, it suits any occasion. For a polished look, layer a men's shirt underneath and make sure the collar sits nicely above the zip. For casual outfits, simple basic T-shirts work well. Avoid bulky layers as they tend to show through the men's jumper. Keep it simple, comfy, and well-groomed.

What do you call a jumper with a zip?

A jumper featuring a front zip is referred to as a 'zip jumper'. Generally, you can distinguish between the following types: A half-zip jumper has a zip running from the neck to the chest. A quarter-zip is slightly shorter but is often interchangeably used for a half-zip jumper. Both jumpers are perfect for unzipping partially if you get too warm. A full-zip jumper has a zip from top to bottom, often seen as a men's cardigan, yet the term 'zipper' is also common.

Are zip jumpers suitable for tall men?

Yes, provided you pay attention to the right fit. Opt for a design with adequate length in the torso and sleeves to ensure a nice fit without riding up. Slim-Fit styles are ideal as they elongate the silhouette without being too loose. Additionally, the vertical zip creates a visual elongation, making you appear taller.

Why are zip jumpers often pricier than regular jumpers?

This is due to the more intricate production process and materials involved. Consider the zip itself: it needs to be of high quality for smooth operation and seamless integration into the knit. The finishing is more complex, especially for models with collars or linings. You also have zip jumpers crafted from luxurious materials like merino wool or cashmere. While these cost a bit more, they offer added comfort, functionality, and style.
