What to Pair with a Cashmere Jumper
After purchasing your cashmere jumper, one of the questions you’ll be wondering is what to pair with a cashmere jumper? Should you wear a short sleeve shirt or a long sleeve shirt? What looks best? Here are a few ideas.
1. Try to wear something that is more fitted. It should be tighter around your body since the jumper dress is usually more loose. This will make you look slimmer. Otherwise, if you just wear it with something loose, you will look like you have no shape.
2. Add tights or leggings that compliment the jumper. Most of the time, black tights or leggings will look great with lots of jumpers. If the color is more neutral such as grey or black or tan, you can add a pair of colorful leggings or tights. Otherwise, stay with black on the bottom.
3. Add a pair of chunky shoes. The jumper is a fun piece to wear so don’t wear it with conservative shoes. It will look better if you wear it with something chunky such as boots.
4. Consider wearing something warm over it like a cashmere cardigan. This will keep your entire body warm. While the cashmere jumper is very warm, having that extra layer will really help, especially if your jumper is short or you decide not to wear tights or leggings underneath. Your other option is a blazer which will help give you that fitted look.
5. Accessorize and add jewelry or a scarf. The other idea is to wear it with a larger belt. The belt will give the jumper a whole new look.
Before doing any of these things, take a look at the jumper you bought. You may have bought a trendier one with lots of details which don’t require accessories. Or, you may have bought something that is much more conservative that you can dress up. Depending on what style jumper dress you bought, you should pick and choose from the above suggestions to create your outfit.

Where to buy a cashmere jumper
There are plenty of places to buy a cashmere jumper. It really depends on what style you want and how much you want to pay. Below are a list of key stores and places to go when you are shopping for a jumper.
Cashmere stores
There are places that just specialize in selling cashmere. They are both online and offline and oftentimes, the store name will contain the word “cashmere.” Basically, these stores are places like the Cashmere Boutique or the Cashmere Closet. When you shop at these stores, make sure you double check that the cashmere you are buying is of good quality. Since these are not branded stores, it is hard to know what quality you get. On the other hand, if you go to designer stores that specialize in cashmere such as TSE, you will definitely get high quality cashmere, however you will pay much more for it. It is up to you, but investing in good cashmere that will last more than 10 years versus buying cheap cashmere that will fall apart after 1 year really depends on the item and style of the item you buy. If you buy something that is very trendy, don’t pay so much since the trend can go away and you won’t want to wear it anymore. If you buy something that is more classic and traditional, then consider spending more for it. There are cashmere jumpers that are both trendy and classic so make that decision before you determine where to buy one.
Department stores
Place to shop for cashmere jumpers
Another great place to look is in department stores like Bloomingdale’s or Sak’s or Nordstrom’s. Every winter, they will carry their share of good quality cashmere for you to look through. They have many different designers so some items will be very trendy while others will be more conservative. The large selection at these stores guarantees that you will find something you like. Additionally, the return policies here are excellent so if you buy it and decide you don’t like it, then you can easily get store credit or get your money back. Department stores tend to be a one stop shop so they are great places to go.
Other online stores
Finally, there are many other online stores that frequently have great deals and bargains. Places like bluefly.com specialize in designer items for less. If you check frequently, you will find that these stores have great deals on designer cashmere, especially towards the end of winter, beginning of Spring when they’ve received merchandise that other stores are trying to clear out. Another great place to check is Overstock.com. They may not always have designer items, but they usually have good quality items and many items to choose from. Additionally, their shipping is very cheap and their return policies are pretty good. Finally, you may want to check eBay. Oftentimes, you will find very good quality used items or sometimes new items sold by sellers who use eBay as their online storefront. There are some great bargains to be had on eBay if you hunt and peck.
Finding a great cashmere jumper will take time, but if you check the stores above and decide what type of cashmere you want, then you will definitely find something you like.

Guide to girls jumpers
Why buy a girls jumper?
Girls Jumper
A girls jumper is one of the easiest things for your little girl to wear. It is cute, since it is a dress, but it is also very comfortable because it is not tight. Underneath, your little girl can wear any shirt she desires. Then, on top, you can put on her jumper. The jumper is made to be more free flowing which will allow your little girl to run, jump, skip and play. She won’t feel constricted by the article of clothing, but she can also be a little bit feminine since it is a dress. Many of the jumpers also come with practical pockets for your little girl to put things in. This will allow her to store little things she finds or little things she wants to carry around for safe keeping.
Types of jumpers
Traditional girls jumper
There are different types of girls jumpers. Similar to the womens jumpers, there are more trendy ones and there are more conservative looking ones. The conservative ones are longer dresses that fall all the way to the ground. They usually have a little flower print and it is suggested to wear these with blouses that have puffy sleeves. The trendier jumpers come in all sorts of colors and patterns. They are not as long as the traditional ones and will usually fall to your little girls knees or a little bit below. Some come with little flowers in the front or a matching hat. Others are plaid or denim. All of these will be easy to wear and match. The easiest thing to match this with is a white t-shirt or long-sleeve shirt.
When to wear
Your little girl can wear her jumper all the time to anywhere. It is appropriate to wear to school since it will allow her to be comfortable and to play on the playground. It is also nice for her to wear at home since it is not a constricting article of clothing. Finally, if you put a nicer blouse underneath or pair it with a little cardigan, your little one can wear it out to a party since it will be more dressed up that way. Feel free to have her experiment and choose the shirt she wants to wear underneath as well.
Where to buy
Plenty of stores sell the kids jumper. You will find many sites online dedicate to one specific type of jumper. If you are looking for a more traditional style, look online for those specialty stores. Kids clothing stores such as Gymboree and the Childrens Place also carry different style jumpers.
