October is the Perfect Time to Buy Jumpers
October is officially the season for jumpers. As the crisp air settles in, our wardrobes shift: light layers give way to warm knits, cosy textures, and the kind of soft, drapey silhouettes that feel as comforting as a cup of tea. If you’re in the market for new knitwear, this is the month to dive in — the ranges are fresh, stock is strong, and retailers like LavenderLime are showcasing their best styles.
Here’s why October is the moment to buy jumpers — and three standout shapes (plus product links) you should keep your eye on.
Why October is the Perfect Time to Buy Jumpers
-
Fresh stock, full selection
By October, brands have rolled out their full autumn/winter lines. You’ll find the best range of sizes, colours, and exclusive cuts before the rush hits and popular pieces sell out. -
Transitional layering opportunities
The weather in October is fickle — chilly mornings, mild afternoons, crisp evenings. A versatile jumper bridges that gap. Buy now, wear now. -
Pre-holiday prep
Knits bought in October get plenty of wear before the real cold—and before gift-giving season begins. They’re trialed, loved, and appreciated before December. -
Better deals and restocks
Stores are still in the early phase of sales and restocking, so you’re more likely to grab attractive promos (or full-price items you’ll truly enjoy) rather than after-stock clearance pieces.

-
Soft Knit Asymmetric Jumper – elegant drape, one-size fit (UK 8–18), and a flattering neckline that’s both effortless and chic.
This style lends itself beautifully to skirts, tailored trousers, or even layering under a coat when the cold really sets in.
2. Longline / Slouchy Jumpers
If you love a relaxed, oversized silhouette that still feels put-together, longline and slouchy jumpers are your friends. LavenderLime’s slouchy collection offers a nice mix of comfort and style.
-
Longline Slouchy Jumper – a longer cut that works as a mini dress or over slim trousers.
-
Soft Knit Baggy Jumper – soft, roomy, and perfect for layering over shirts or dresses.
These styles are ideal for days when you want to feel relaxed without looking like you’ve just rolled out of bed.
3. Pocket Jumpers
Function meets fashion with jumpers that include pockets: perfect for cozy warmth and handy for phones, tissues, or glove storage.
-
Pocket Jumper – a classic pick, with discreet front pockets that don’t bulk the silhouette.
-
Slouchy Pocket Jumper – combining the relaxed slouchy shape with pocket detail for extra utility.
Styling & Shopping Tips
-
Colour layering: Use lighter neutrals (oatmeal, dove grey) as base layers under bolder jumpers. LavenderLime tends to offer a wide palette. LavenderLime
-
Balance proportions: A longline or slouchy jumper pairs nicely with a slim or tapered bottom.
-
Rotate textures: Mix knit weights — thinner under heavier outerwear, chunkier for stand-alone looks.
-
Buy your base now: Start with neutrals in October, then add seasonal colours later.
-
Watch restocks: LavenderLime often restocks popular asymmetric jumpers across multiple colours. Facebook
