Select Shopping | Where’s me jumper?

Ah, the humble jumper. Practical and unassuming, nothing says Nordic Noir chic quite like it. And while it is your best ally against the biting cold of a Danish winter, it is also a highly versatile creature, making it the autumn/winter wardrobe staple of fashionable guys and dolls. Whether you prefer to channel your inner hipster with a reindeer-patterned ‘ironic’ jumper, or opt for swathes of classic cashmere, let your sweater make a sartorial statement. 

 

Gudrun & Gudrun

 

The Faroese fashion knitwear brand is best known for creating what is perhaps the most famous jumper of them all: the Sarah Lund sweater. Made from the un-dyed wool of the hardiest of Faroese sheep, this super-jumper is lightweight, breathable and hypoallergenic. And it ain’t cheap either, at 2,625kr. You can also find this legendary jumper at Sabine Poupinel on Strøget.

Henrik Vibskov

 

The achingly cool boutique of the Danish enfant terrible hosts an array of fabulous creations for both guys and girls. Peter Jensen’s wool ‘Jacob’ jumper (1,700kr) is colour-block detailing at its finest and the perfect remedy to the dark, muted tones of winter dressing.

PRAG

If you’re after a fun, cutting-edge sweater, but don’t feel like breaking the bank, then PRAG’s your place. The Vesterbro and Nørrebro-based second-hand/vintage shops boast a huge array of the nattiest knits you’re likely to find. Some of these woollies are serious 1980s and 90s throwbacks, and they will perhaps be viewed with horror by those who were there to witness them the first time round. But if you are hip enough to pull off bobble-knit, then PRAG has you covered. 

Nørrebrogade 45, Cph N; open Mon-Fri 10:00-19:00, Sat 10:00-18:00, Sun 12:00-18:00

Vesterbrogade 98A, Cph V; open Mon-Fri 10:00-18:00, Sat 10:00-17:00

 

Weekday

 

Coco Chanel was bang-on when she pronounced “Life is too short not to wear cashmere.” Exquisitely soft and warm, it is the epitome of luxury dressing and you can’t really do better than opting for fashion-forward label Weekday’s androgynously chic ‘Jade’ polo neck in classic black or grey. Consider it a worthwhile winter investment at 750kr.

    Internationals in Denmark rarely join a trade union

    Internationals are overrepresented in the lowest-paid fields of agriculture, transport, cleaning, hotels and restaurants, and construction – industries that classically lack collective agreements. A new analysis from the Workers’ Union’s Business Council suggests that internationals rarely join trade unions – but if they did, it would generate better industry standards.
