Broken Planet Sweaters
When it gets cold, the most useful thing in your wardrobe is a jumper. Warm, simple to layer, and subtly fashionable. Broken Planet sweaters combine the brand’s dark, bold style with knitwear, offering streetwear enthusiasts a better choice for colder days. Here’s a guide to what to look for and how to wear one.
A smarter kind of cosy
A jumper is in the middle between casual and dressy. It’s as cosy as a sweatshirt, but the fabric gives it a more luxurious, polished look. That’s helpful if you want to look nice without being stiff. Many people choose a jumper for evenings, family visits or days when they want a little improvement.
Texture and Knit
It’s the knit that makes a jumper unique. A delicate knit is light and smooth; a bulky knit is substantial and warm. Chunky versions add bulk and warmth while thin ones layer well beneath coats. If you can, feel the fabric with your hand. It should feel smooth and even, not scratchy or like there are loose threads.
Choosing the Material
Sweaters are constructed of cotton, wool, mixes, or other soft yarn. Cotton is airy, skin-friendly, and suits mild temperatures. Wool is warmer,r yet some individuals find it itchy. Most blends combine softness, warmth, and durability. Please check the label to know what you are buying and consider any sensitivity you have before deciding.
Getting the Fit Right
A jumper has to feel good without hanging like a sack. Leave a little room through the chest and arms, since knit expands and moves with you. Notice that the sleeves end at the wrist and the hemline at the hip. If you want to wear a shirt under it, try it on over a shirt to see if it will be big enough.
Layering Ideas
Sweaters are a must-have for layering. Pair it with a collared shirt with the collar showing for a sharp effect. Wear a tee under a loose sweater for that laid-back vibe. Add a scarf, and wear a jacket over it for the coldest days. Knit has its own texture, so you don’t need many accessories to make the ensemble fascinating.
Colour and Pattern
Dark colours such as black, navy and charcoal are smart and good at disguising marks. Lighter colours like milk are warm and delicate, but require a little more TLC. If your jumper has a pattern or image, keep the bottoms simple. The quiet base allows the knit to stand out and stops the ensemble from looking too crowded.
Great for Gifting
Sweaters are a considerate present, especially in the winter. They suit most people and rarely look out of place. If you’re buying for someone else, go for a neutral colour and a standard fit, as these are easier to get correctly. Include a gift receipt in case they need another size.
Preventing Pilling and Shrinking
Knitwear takes a bit more attention than other garments. Wash by hand or on a wool-safe cycle in lukewarm water. Never wring it out since that strains the fibres. Lay flat on a towel to dry and reshape carefully. If balls of fluff emerge, remove with a cloth comb. Hangers will make your shoulders look off-shape; therefore, fold your sweaters on a shelf instead of hanging them.
Storing for the Season
When winter ends, wash your sweaters before packing them away, for dirt is what attracts moths. Keep in a ventilated bag or box and include a block of cedar or sachet of lavender. This little technique allows them to stay fresh till the cold returns.
Neckline Choices
The neckline can vary the style of a jumper and what you put under it. A crew neck is the traditional option and works with just about anything. The V-neck reveals more of your shirt and feels a bit smarter. A turtleneck or high collar offers warmth and a sleek silhouette. Think about what you wear the most and choose a neckline that works with those clothes.
Dressing It Up or Down
A jumper can alter mood to mood. This is worn with dark trousers, a belt and leather shoes for a classy look. It's laid-back, so wear it with jeans and trainers. A striking street look with loose cargo pants and hefty boots. The same jumper may be an entirely new look with every combination, which makes it a very worthwhile purchase.
Warm Finish
A Broken Planet jumper provides texture, a clean finish & warmth. With the proper fit and the right care, it becomes one of the pieces you’ll turn to every winter. Plus, it goes so well with the rest of the Broken Planet range that it feels easy to assemble a winter wardrobe. Begin with one and add more later.
