A jumper is a product made of knitwear or yarn of medium thickness, worn over the head. It has a cutout (usually round, less often square). The length varies: from the hip line to the knee level. Sleeves are often long, but can be 3/4 or short. The product does not have a fastener (with the exception of decorative buttons/small clasps). Color: plain, printed or geometric patterns.
Similar to a pullover or sweater, but with some differences. Jumper with a high collar made of thick yarn - a sweater. A tighter pullover with a V-neck.
This is a classic description. Modern fashion offers various new items and variations.
Story
Initially, the jumper was part of the sailors' equipment. In the 19th century it was used as part of sportswear for track and field athletes. Then the product loses its specialization and becomes an element of everyday men's leisure wear. The jumper appears in the women's wardrobe thanks to Coco Chanel. First she introduces knitwear into fashion, and then a jumper.
After popularization, it becomes an element of clothing for students of prestigious universities and colleges. Then it becomes firmly established in fashion and does not lose its popularity and versatility.
