Elegant for everyday wear: stylish combinations with Norwegian jumpers

A Norwegian jumper can be surprisingly elegant. For women, the Nordic jumper looks particularly classy with a simple skirt or fabric trousers. Subtle colours, fine materials and clean accessories allow the jacquard pattern to shine without being obtrusive.
Men can also achieve a smart look with a Norwegian sweater when paired with dark suit trousers or chinos. The fine merino lambswool ensures that the sweater retains its shape and looks good even in the office.


Casual and modern: the Norwegian jumper with jeans

The Norwegian jumper is a real all-rounder for a relaxed everyday look. Women wear it casually with their favourite jeans and boots – comfortable yet stylish. The raglan sleeves and soft ribbed knit ensure maximum comfort.
Men can pair it with classic denim or dark jeans. The Nordic Sweater ZIP with a stand-up collar adds a sporty touch to any outfit and can be styled in a variety of ways thanks to its zip fastening – open, closed or layered.

Wintery and festive: perfect for the festive season and après-ski

Christmas market, winter walk or après-ski – the Nordic Sweater keeps you cosy and warm while looking stylish.
Women can combine it with tights, a skirt and coat for a festive winter look. Men can wear it with woollen trousers or high-quality jeans. The Nordic pattern automatically creates a wintery atmosphere – without any additional extras.


Sporty and elegant: Norwegian jumper in a layered look

Layering is ideal for getting the most out of your Norwegian jumper. Worn over a shirt, it looks smart and modern, while under a jacket or coat it becomes a functional source of warmth.
Particularly practical: the breathable merino wool regulates the temperature perfectly. This means you stay comfortably warm even in changing conditions – whether on your way to the office or out in the countryside.
