Boys' jumpers: getting the knit right
tuc tuc boys' jumpers are classic knit pieces that feel lovely to the touch, for in-between seasons or layering in winter: crew necks, ribbed cuffs and details such as raised patterns or a kangaroo pocket. This is a small selection, from 4 to 16 years; you'll find more knitted styles in boys' jumpers and sweatshirts and fleece alternatives in boys' sweatshirts.
Jumper, sweatshirt or cardigan
A jumper goes on over the head and looks neater under a coat; a cardigan opens up and is more versatile when the temperature changes; a fleece sweatshirt is the sportiest. For a schoolboy, a plain jumper and a sweatshirt cover almost everything.
Colours and styling
- Neutral shades (beige, ecru, navy): go with everything and work for special occasions.
- Bright colours (lime green, red): liven up basic jeans or chinos.
Size and fit
Height guide: 6 years = 111–116 cm, 8 years = 123–128 cm, 10 years = 129–136 cm, 12 years = 137–144 cm, 14 years = 145–152 cm. Ribbed cuffs mean you can go up a size without the sleeves getting in the way. Check the size guide. Also check the body length if he'll wear it with low-rise trousers.
How many jumpers does a boy need?
Two jumpers are usually enough: a neutral one for occasions and a colourful one for every day. Add a couple of sweatshirts and he'll have layers for the whole season without overfilling the wardrobe.
Frequently asked questions
What size jumper does a 10-year-old boy need?
A 10-year-old boy wears size 10 years if he's between 129 and 136 cm tall. If he's already over 136 cm, move up to size 12 years (137–144 cm). Measure his height without shoes and compare it with the size guide.
Jumper or sweatshirt for a boy in spring and autumn?
In between seasons, a soft knitted jumper is a good choice: it's just warm enough and looks smarter. A fleece sweatshirt is better for chilly days at the park or for sport. Having one of each gives you plenty of options.
How do you dry a children's knitted jumper?
Dry the knitted jumper flat on a towel, in the shade and without a tumble dryer, so it keeps its shape. Wash it inside out on a cold cycle first, and always follow the garment's care label.
What boys' jumper works for a First Communion or a wedding?
For a First Communion or a wedding, a plain knitted jumper in a neutral shade over a shirt, with chinos and smart shoes, works well. It's comfortable and looks smart in photos. For a more complete look, also see boys' jackets.
Do children's knitted jumpers itch?
A soft knitted jumper shouldn't itch, and the ones in this collection are described as soft to the touch. If your child has sensitive skin, put a long-sleeved cotton top underneath so the knit doesn't rub directly against it.
What does tuc tuc offer in boys' jumpers?
tuc tuc offers boys' knitted jumpers with crew necks, ribbed cuffs and raised details or a kangaroo pocket, in sizes 4 to 16 years, made in line with the European REACH regulation. There are more knitted styles in jumpers and sweatshirts.
