The asymmetric jumpers are so soft and colourful, washing them properly is a must if you want to keep them in tip top condition. It's really very easy, but just make sure that you follow our three steps.
Before that here's a couple of things we need to be careful of;
First, the asymmetric jumpers are so soft, we don't want them to catch on anything or get snagged. Second the material is so delicate that we don't want to harm it with heat or over working. Finally, the colours are very strong and while they are pre-washed in, with darker colours we need to ensure no colour spill. With lighter colours we don't want the jumpers to be dyed by other garments.
With that in mind, here's how we recommend washing your jumper;
1. Always use a good detergent.
2. Pop the jumper inside out and place it in a pillow case or similar and only wash with similar colours.
3. Use a delicate wash cycle and no more that 30 degrees!
4. DO NOT tumble dry! Leave out to dry in a room where air circulates.

To help you rock this fashion statement, here are some tips on how to wear an asymmetric jumper:
Decide the look:
Asymmetric jumpers are incredibly versatile and so can be tailored to any occasion. For formal events if your shoulders aren’t too wide, they can be worn off one or both shoulders. For daily wear and at events you can just slip them over the head and gather the waist. Do pull the arms up too far, they are designed to drape around the upper arm.
Choose the right bottoms:
Achieving a balanced look is key when wearing an asymmetric jumper. Pair it with well-fitted bottoms like skinny jeans, leggings, or tailored trousers to create a sleek and chic appearance.
For a more relaxed or bohemian vibe, consider teaming your jumper with denim shorts or a flowy skirt. This combination exudes a carefree and stylish aura, perfect for casual outings.
Layering:
Layering is not just for staying warm; it's also a style choice. Consider wearing a camisole, tank top, or a fitted long-sleeve shirt underneath your jumper to add depth to your outfit. Layering not only provides extra warmth but also introduces a layer of sophistication to your look.
Belt It (Optional):
If your jumper is on the oversized side, you can accentuate your waist by adding a belt. This simple accessory can transform your outfit, giving it a more structured and elegant appearance. A well-chosen belt can be the perfect finishing touch.
Accessories:
The right accessories can elevate your asymmetric jumper ensemble. Depending on the neckline and style of your jumper, consider accessorising with statement necklaces, earrings, or scarves. These additions can add a touch of personality and pizzazz to your overall look.
Don't forget to select a handbag or clutch that complements the color scheme and style of your outfit. A well-coordinated bag can tie the entire look together seamlessly.
Play with colours:
Asymmetric jumpers come in a wide array of colours. Don't be afraid to experiment with different options to create versatile outfits. Whether you prefer bold, eye-catching patterns or classic solid colours, there's an asymmetric jumper out there to suit your style.

As the leaves begin to change and temperatures start to drop, it's time to cosy up in one of our favourite cold-weather essentials: jumpers. These versatile and warm pieces of clothing are a must-have for every wardrobe. Whether you're dressing for a casual outing or a formal event, jumpers can be styled in numerous ways to suit any occasion. In this blog post, we'll walk you through the art of wearing jumpers to ensure you look effortlessly stylish and stay comfortably warm.
Before you can start creating your perfect jumper outfit, you need to choose the right jumper. Jumpers come in various styles, materials, and fits, so it's essential to consider the following factors:
a. Material: Jumpers are made from a variety of materials, including wool, cashmere, cotton, and synthetic blends. Choose a material that suits the season and your comfort level.
b. Style: Decide on the style that complements your body type and personal taste. Common styles include crewneck, V-neck, turtleneck, and cardigan jumpers.
c. Fit: Ensure your jumper fits well. It should be comfortable without being too baggy or too tight.
You can see all our jumpers here.
Layering can elevate your jumper look and add depth to your outfit. Here are some layering ideas:
a. Classic Shirt: Layer your jumper over a crisp, collared shirt for a polished and preppy look.
b. Turtleneck Underneath: For extra warmth and style, wear a turtleneck top under your jumper. Let the turtleneck collar peek out for added flair.
c. Button-Up Blouse: A lightweight button-up blouse worn under your jumper can create a chic and business-casual ensemble.
d. Blazers and Jackets: Pair your jumper with a blazer or jacket for a sophisticated and layered look. Choose complementary colours and fabrics for a harmonious outfit.
Accessories can make or break your jumper outfit. Here are some ideas to consider:
a. Scarves: Add a pop of colour and warmth with a stylish scarf. You can drape it loosely or knot it snugly around your neck.
b. Belts: Cinch your jumper at the waist with a belt to create a defined silhouette. This works particularly well with oversized jumpers.
c. Statement Jewellery: Elevate a simple jumper with statement necklaces, earrings, or bracelets. Choose pieces that complement your outfit's overall aesthetic.
Pair your jumper with the right bottoms to complete your look:
a. Skinny Jeans: Skinny jeans or jeggings create a balanced silhouette when worn with oversized jumpers.
b. Skirts: Pair your jumper with a skirt for a feminine and trendy outfit. Choose from mini, midi, or maxi skirts depending on the occasion.
c. Tailored Trousers: Dress up your jumper with tailored trousers for a sophisticated ensemble suitable for work or formal events.
d. Leggings: For ultimate comfort, wear leggings with your jumper, especially if it's a longer style.
Your choice of footwear can significantly impact the overall vibe of your jumper outfit:
a. Ankle Boots: Ankle boots are a versatile choice that works well with most jumper outfits. They add a touch of sophistication.
b. Sneakers: Opt for sneakers for a casual and comfortable look, perfect for running errands or a laid-back weekend.
c. Heels: Elevate your jumper outfit with heels for a chic and stylish appearance, ideal for evening events.
Jumpers are a timeless and cozy addition to any wardrobe. By carefully selecting the right jumper, layering with care, accessorizing thoughtfully, mixing and matching bottoms, and choosing the appropriate footwear, you can create a wide range of stylish and comfortable outfits for any occasion. Embrace the versatility of jumpers this season and make them a key component of your cold-weather wardrobe. Stay warm, look fabulous, and enjoy the autumn and winter months in style!

We are delighted to announce today that we have formally taken on the Princess Alice Hospice as our official charity.
We've had an amazing first month and have been looking at ways in which we can give back to the community and this partnership seemed ideal.
Moving forward we will be holding and attending events and donating percentages of our sales to the charity. We have also undertaken with the trust to pay any platform costs that they incur so that 100% of any monies raised goes to this incredible charity.
Our first event is this weekend so stay tuned for more announcements. Thanks to Tim Iredale at the Princess Alice Hospice for helping us understand how we can help.
Thank you all for your continued support with LavenderLime, we really appreciate it!
