Jumper Style

How To Wear Hot trends in all seasons!

Last spring, the fresh jumper look beckoned from the pages of your favorite fashion mag, tempting you to find one to call your own. Upon purchasing, you happily pranced your way through summer in schoolgirl style but promptly packed it away in summer storage so as not to freeze your assets off when summer faded.

Well, unpack that box because the Urban Minx’s are here to help with a crop of fresh jumper looks for winter.

For those who missed the spring magazines, let me help you. A jumper is a sweet and innocent dress that is reminiscent of the pinafores worn as children. Imagine this: wide straps, modest neckline, girlish look, loose-fit, and oh-so-short skirt. For the men, this is one style most of you find irresistible - that good girl/bad girl schoolyard look. Who can forget Britney’s “Hit Me Baby One More Time” video?

How to layer for winter: No fear! Pair simple and solid color jumpers with bold vibrant colors to avoid going overboard with the little-girl look. Avoid frilly and floaty shirts underneath as well. Don’t be afraid of mixing textures. If you desire an edgier style, contrasting fabrics are a necessity. The idea should be an outfit that, when put together, combines youthful style with womanly chic.

Traditionally, short hemlines are perfect for winter tights and leggings, even boots. Thanks to the ease of layering and the varying styles they can mix with, jumpers can be at once sweet and sassy, innocent and provocative. ---Michelle
