The Classic Red Jumper
Today’s look
The tomato red jumper I am wearing today was a sample sale purchase from Chinti and Parker that cost me £50! I know, very lucky. I live 15 minutes from Notting Hill where they have a bi-annual sample sale, so all of my Chinti and Parker jumpers you might see me wearing on instagram were purchased there or at the end of the summer in the sales. This particular jumper I have had for a few years now and it is still in the most amazing condition. A perfect example of lasting quality.
This tomato red is bold, but if you are not afraid of wearing colour, I promise you it has the power to lift your mood, gives you an inner confidence and strangers will talk to you. Everyone loves that, right?!
I have found a few red, cashmere jumpers, and this first one will not be around long!

And this one from Uniqlo. Just a word on sizing here. Their sizing can be all over the place but they definitely seem to come up a bit small, so I would recommend sizing up one or going in store if you can, and trying a few on for the best fit.
However, if this tomato red shade is not for you, then this deeper red is lovely too. 90% wool and 10% cashmere and I like the look of the fit. I would usually size up one size for a slouchier fit, but the shape of this one might mean you should take your usual size?
I have paired my jumper with my blue skinny Rag and Bone boyfriend jeans and Topshop leopard print heels (unfortunately now sold out!) But here are a few more ways to style.

This is a stunning look. If you are doing a blog on leopard heels any time soon…need to replace mine which I gave away as they were not comfortable! Might try the Boden jumper.
comfort is key! I will do just that, thank you. Was just having a what on earth can I blog about moment! 😉 xx
Great blog post! I love how you give options on how to style the jumper. I am a colourphobe but you have inspired me to order the Boden jumper. Thank you.

Ah thank you so much. I hope you like it. Lots of people are afraid of colour, but I think as long as you wear colour with safe neutrals, you can’t go wrong! x
