If only modern explorers could rediscover such a sense of personal style, but the demands of corporate sponsorship prefer identical logo-strewn fleeces to home-knitted individuality.
I seem to be stuck on chunky knitwear this month. Look out for the Grey Fox Christmas jumper guide next week.
I love a man in a chunky sweater, cardigan or cable-knit turtleneck. Refined outdoorsness is the un-technical term, and it is very attractive. Look forward to your jumper guide. Where did the word 'jumper' come from? Across the pond it means a sleeveless dress you wear over a shirt. ;)
ReplyDeleteThank you. It's good to know the geeky jumper has become sexy.
ReplyDeleteI didn't realise the word is used differently in the US. Like brogue/wingtips, dinner jacket/tuxedo, trousers/pants etc. there's a thesis waiting to be written about UK and US English words.
The theory is that the word came via French 'jupe' from the Arabic 'jubba' for a loose top.
