How many jumpers do you own?

168 replies

pomeglamate · 30/10/2025 12:17

Recent discovery of Vinted has given me so many jumper problems. I previously thought that four jumpers was a decent god-fearing number to own. Now I am up to six jumpers and counting. Two of them are cashmere. I asked AI and it said that 7-10 jumpers is a reasonable number of jumpers?!? Thrilled if this is so but think this is a situation where I need real human input. How many jumpers do you own?? Bonus points for telling me about your favourite jumpers.

1 sweater vest
2 cardigans
2 jumpers

Plus a couple of sweatshirts/hoodies for home wear

TheChosenTwo · 30/10/2025 12:22

About 8 sweatshirts and maybe 4 jumpers.

PuzzledWatermelon · 30/10/2025 12:23

I said 5 in my answer in the vote, but I class jumpers and sweatshirts in the same category - if I was to break it down; 3 jumpers, 2 sweatshirts and 4 cardigans… My favourite is the Bourbon biscuit fan club sweatshirt from Rock On Ruby 😂

pomeglamate · 30/10/2025 12:31

Hmm can see I’m already at the upper end of jumper-owning with six. Was sort of hoping everyone would be like “I own twenty jumpers, it’s the bare minimum!!!”

Counting summer and winter, cardigans and sweaters, at least 12. I limit myself to one large drawer though!

spiderlight · 30/10/2025 12:38

Too many. If we're counting hoodies as well as knitted jumpers, probably in the high teens at the very least. If we're counting Big Cardigans that are only worn around the house while WFH, we're going to need a bigger poll 😳

Dozycuntlaters · 30/10/2025 12:40

Too many to count but definitely over 12, probably over 20! But thats pretty much all I wear in the winter, jeans with a jumper. Plus I've recently lost almost 6 stone, so I'm celebrating with lots of new jumpers. Mainly from Vinted.

Fgfgfg · 30/10/2025 12:42

6 but I recently had a cull.
Plus 2 sweatshirts because they're not jumpers.
Now if this thread had been about cardigans...19

LaurieFairyCake · 30/10/2025 12:42

Maybe a 100 😬

Kitchenbattle · 30/10/2025 12:42

Too many…pretty much all the bottom rail is jumpers/cardigans. 😂

How many jumpers do you own?
ThatGlimmeringSea · 30/10/2025 12:44

20 jumpers
6 short-sleeved jumpers
5 cardigans

Nine of my jumpers are an identical style but in different colours, I nearly bought another one last month but then had a word with myself. In my defence I’m Autistic and like routine and familiar things.

TeenToTwenties · 30/10/2025 12:44

Well 3 if you count the duplicate of my favourite sat in a drawer ready for when it is needed.

AltitudeCheck · 30/10/2025 12:46

'Knitwear' type jumpers....
8 jumpers (+ one on order!)
2 cardigans
Hoodies, sweatshirts, sports and casual wear... probably another half a dozen.

It's the season for it... show us your favourite jumper(s)!

pomeglamate · 30/10/2025 12:47

@Dozycuntlaters well done!!! I’ve lost four so yes also celebrating a lot on Vinted

@LaurieFairyCake this is the most validating thing I’ve ever read 🌟

@Fgfgfg omg I think cardigans and jumpers are the same thing. 19 is a very fine number

@Kitchenbattle what I like is that you’ve stored them really neatly so it looks like everything is under control 🙌

InBedwiththeBeddie · 30/10/2025 12:48

I think I have about four jumpers and maybe 3 sweatshirts. Oh, and a couple of cardigans if you count them. I'd love more, but they're too bulky and I don't like clutter, so it's not to be.

HundredMilesAnHour · 30/10/2025 12:48

I have far too many to count. I can see about 25 from where I’m sitting now but there are many many MANY more stashed away in drawers / storage boxes etc. I’m definitely in 3 figures. I love jumpers. And also jackets. And coats. And shoes.

Imfat · 30/10/2025 12:52

When sorting out late mum's house I found 67 jumpers in all different colours, styles, long and short sleeved.
Light weight and heavy ones.
Some were new, some from charity shop most were in good condition.
She was always cold and I only ever remember her wearing a jumper even if it was hot outside.

Me personally have 4.

That’s how I roll…😂 way to organised for my own good! 😅

TheThingsYouDoForLurve · 30/10/2025 12:54

Just counted: 38 and I don’t even like wearing jumpers.

Didn’t count cardigans (only got a few that I wouldn’t wear out of the house. Even less of a fan of them) or sweatshirts / hoodies. Probably another 25 of the latter.

DarkRootsBlue · 30/10/2025 12:56

About 12, different colours and styles. Also came to me through a Vinted splurge as they are the easiest things for me to buy that are likely to fit.

Wow that's so neat 😍

DancingLions · 30/10/2025 13:04

I never think I have that many clothes until I see threads like this! I just bought some new jumpers and cardigans as I felt I didn't have enough. Originally I had about 10 jumpers, 8 sweatshirts, 5 cardigans and a few hoodies. Now it's more.

I have a kind of fold and roll technique to get them into drawers. I can fit a lot in that way. Although I do hang the cardigans.

I love jumper season. I don't actually like wearing summer clothes as I don't like my skin uncovered (I think it's some kind of sensory thing). Nothing better than being snuggled up in a cosy jumper.

Starlight1984 · 30/10/2025 13:05

I had loads (about 20-25) and they were taking up most of my wardrobe so this spring I decided to go through my wardrobe and throw out all the ones I hadn't worn last autumn / winter.

I ended up with 3.

And now I'm massively regretting being so brutal as I'm probably going to have to go and buy some more so I don't keep rotating the same 3 over the next 6 months😂

Easily 30+ But I wear thin jumpers, thick jumpers, sweatshirts, quarter zips, cropped jumpers etc so it's not just loads of the same one. I bloody love jumpers. I think the largest section of my wardrobe is jumpers, and I have drawers too...
