Boys' knitted jumpers: what to look for
tuc tuc boys' jumpers are soft knit pieces with a crew neck and ribbed cuffs, with details such as raised palm trees or a kangaroo pocket, designed for cool days and in-between seasons. There are only a few styles in this selection, in sizes 4 to 16 years; for more choice, see boys' jumpers and sweatshirts and baby boys' sweatshirts.
Why a knitted jumper
A knitted jumper keeps him warm without the bulk of a thick sweatshirt and looks smarter. It's a go-to piece: for school, a family lunch or over a shirt at a celebration.
What to look for
- Ribbed cuffs and hem: snug without being tight, and they keep the draughts out.
- Crew neck: the easiest to style, with a T-shirt or a shirt.
- Raised detail or pocket: a different touch without loud prints.
Size
Go by his height: 4 years = 99–104 cm, 6 years = 111–116 cm, 8 years = 123–128 cm. As knitwear gives a little, if he's between sizes only go for the bigger one if he's growing fast. More measurements in the size guide. A jumper that's tight across the shoulders shows straight away, so don't cut it too fine.
A jumper for a special occasion?
A plain knitted jumper in a neutral shade, worn over a shirt with chinos, is an easy way to dress him smartly without losing comfort at weddings, First Communions or family lunches.
Frequently asked questions
What size jumper does a 4-year-old boy need?
A 4-year-old boy wears size 4 years if he's between 99 and 104 cm tall. If he's already over 104 cm, choose size 5 years (105–110 cm). Always check his height against the size guide before you buy.
Is a knitted jumper as warm as a sweatshirt?
A knitted jumper is about as warm as a lightweight sweatshirt, but without the brushed inside. It's ideal for in-between seasons or as a layer under a coat in winter. If you want maximum warmth for the park, a fleece sweatshirt is a bit warmer.
How do you wash a boys' knitted jumper without it losing its shape?
Wash the jumper inside out on a cold, delicate cycle and dry it flat – don't hang it up or tumble dry it – so it doesn't stretch. Always follow the garment's care label.
What to wear with a boys' palm tree jumper?
A jumper with raised palm trees goes with jeans, chinos or plain joggers. Underneath, a white T-shirt or a simple-collared shirt. Find the bottoms in boys' trousers.
Is a jumper a good gift for a boy?
Yes, a knitted jumper is a practical gift that works for everyday wear and special occasions alike. Choose a neutral colour or a subtle raised detail and, if you're unsure of the size, go one up.
