When the Irish weather turns cold and gloomy, I crave knitwear that’s not just warm, but also brings a little joy to gray days. Too often, chunky jumpers feel shapeless, scratchy, or so plain they blend into the background. That’s why I was instantly drawn to Apricot’s Constellation Soft Knit Jumper in Grey when I spotted it on their Irish website. Apricot has long been my go-to for affordable, wearable pieces that balance comfort and personality, and at €43, this jumper felt like the perfect way to add a whimsical touch to my winter wardrobe without breaking the bank. After wearing it nonstop for seven weeks—lounging at home, running errands, meeting friends for coffee, and even layering it over dresses for casual events—I can confidently say it’s my most reached-for knit of the season. It’s not just a jumper; it’s a cozy, cheerful staple that proves practicality and charm don’t have to be mutually exclusive. Here’s my full breakdown of the shopping experience, product details, and why this constellation jumper is a must-have for anyone who wants to stay warm and stylish when the temperatures drop.

First, let’s talk about the brand: Apricot. For years, Apricot has stood out in the fast-fashion landscape by prioritizing wearability and subtle personality. They don’t churn out loud, trend-driven pieces that feel outdated in six months; instead, they craft items that feel modern yet timeless—pieces you’ll reach for season after season. Their website, apricotonline.com/ie, is a joy to navigate: clean, clutter-free, and packed with all the information you need to make an informed purchase. Unlike some retailers that hide sizing charts or fabric details behind endless pop-ups, Apricot’s product page for the Constellation Soft Knit Jumper puts everything front and center. From the fabric composition to the care instructions, there’s no guesswork involved—something that gives me confidence when shopping for knitwear online. Apricot’s commitment to transparency and quality is why I keep coming back, whether I’m buying a basic tee or a whimsical jumper like this one.
The shopping experience was seamless from start to finish. I stumbled across this jumper while browsing Apricot’s “Knitwear” section, drawn in by the promise of a “soft, celestial” design and the moon and stars pattern. The product photos were incredibly helpful: there’s a full-length shot of the model (who’s 5’8.5” wearing an XS/UK 8) that gave me a clear sense of the oversized fit and length, close-ups of the knit texture and constellation pattern, and even a view of the mock neckline and dropped shoulders. I appreciated that Apricot listed every key detail upfront: fabric composition (62% Acrylic, 24% Nylon, 10% Wool, 4% Elastane), length (approx 65.3cm), fit (Relaxed), and care instructions. As someone who’s a UK 10 with a slim frame, I was a little unsure about sizing—would the relaxed fit be too baggy, or would it have that perfect “oversized but not shapeless” look? The size guide, which included bust, waist, and hip measurements for each size, helped me decide on a Medium, and it turned out to be the ideal choice.

Adding the jumper to my cart was effortless, and checkout offered all the payment options I could want: credit card, PayPal, and Klarna for those who prefer to split the cost (a nice touch for budget-conscious shoppers). Shipping to my home in Cork was free—always a bonus—and the jumper arrived in just three business days. It came in a simple, recyclable Apricot-branded plastic bag, which was practical and not overly wasteful, and inside, the jumper was folded neatly with no creases or defects. When I pulled it out of the bag, I was immediately struck by how soft it felt—like wrapping myself in a cloud.

When I tried on the jumper for the first time, I was hooked. The knit is incredibly soft and plush, with a medium weight that’s perfect for transitional weather and cold winter days. The blend of 62% Acrylic, 24% Nylon, 10% Wool, and 4% Elastane is pure magic: the Acrylic adds warmth and softness, the Nylon boosts durability and wrinkle resistance, the Wool provides extra coziness (without the scratchiness), and the Elastane gives just enough stretch to ensure a comfortable fit. I was worried the wool content might irritate my skin, but this jumper is buttery smooth against my arms and torso—no itching or discomfort, even after wearing it for 10 hours straight. The grey color is rich and versatile: a soft, heathered shade that’s neutral enough to pair with almost everything in my wardrobe, but not so plain that it feels boring. It’s the kind of grey that complements jeans, leggings, skirts, and even dresses, making it infinitely wearable.

The constellation pattern is the star of the show (pun intended!). The moon and stars design is subtle but charming—stitched in a slightly lighter grey than the base, creating a soft, tonal effect that feels whimsical without being childish. I was worried the pattern might be too bold or cutesy, but it’s understated enough to wear to casual work environments or family gatherings, while still adding a little personality to an otherwise simple outfit. The stitching is neat and even, with no loose threads or uneven patterns, and the design holds its shape perfectly after washing. It’s the kind of detail that makes people stop and ask, “Where did you get that?”—a small joy that makes getting dressed on cold days feel fun.

Let’s dive into the design details. The mock neckline is cozy and flattering, framing the neck nicely without feeling constricting. It’s higher than a classic crew neck but not as tight as a turtleneck, making it perfect for those who want warmth without feeling choked. The neckline is ribbed, which adds texture and helps it keep its shape wash after wash. The dropped shoulders and wide armholes are another standout feature: they give the jumper that trendy, relaxed silhouette that’s so popular right now, while also making it incredibly comfortable to wear. The sleeves are long enough to cover my wrists, even when I’m moving my arms, and the ribbed cuffs fit snugly without being too tight—no sliding down or bunching up.

The relaxed, oversized fit is spot-on. It’s roomy through the body and arms, so I can layer it over a thin long-sleeve top or turtleneck on extra cold days, or wear it on its own when the weather is mild. The length (approx 65.3cm) is ideal: on my 5’6” frame, it hits just below my hips, which is flattering and practical (no worrying about it riding up or feeling too short). The straight hem is finished with ribbing, which adds structure and prevents the jumper from looking slouchy. Unlike some oversized jumpers that swamp your figure, this one has just enough shape to feel intentional—skimming over my torso without clinging, creating a effortless, cool-girl vibe that works for a range of body types.

One of the things I love most about this jumper is its versatility. It’s not just for lounging—though it’s incredibly cozy for that. I’ve worn it with flare jeans and trainers for a casual weekend look, paired it with leggings and ankle boots for running errands, and layered it over a mini dress with tights for a cute, cozy-chic outfit at a friend’s brunch. It even works with high-waisted skirts and loafers for a more polished casual look. The neutral grey color and subtle constellation pattern mean it pairs with almost anything in my wardrobe—from bold prints to solid colors—without clashing. It’s rare to find a piece that’s so versatile, but Apricot has nailed it with this jumper.

Care instructions are simple and manageable: 30-degree cold machine wash, do not bleach, do not tumble dry, medium iron (two dots), and do not dry clean. I was a little worried about washing a chunky knit jumper—would it shrink, stretch, or pill? But after washing it four times (on a gentle cycle in a laundry bag), it’s held up perfectly. The knit is still just as soft and plush, the constellation pattern is intact, and there’s no sign of pilling or stretching. I lay it flat to dry, which takes a few hours, but it’s a small effort for a jumper that looks like new after each wash. Unlike some delicate knits that require expensive dry cleaning, this one is low-maintenance—another win for busy lifestyles.

Let’s talk about value for money. At €43, this jumper is an absolute steal. I’ve paid twice as much for similar chunky knit jumpers from other brands that were scratchy, ill-fitting, or lost their shape after a few wears. Apricot’s version is well-made, comfortable, and versatile—all for a price that’s accessible to most shoppers. When you consider how many times I’ve worn it (at least 18 times in seven weeks), the cost per wear is just over €2—unbeatable for a piece that works for so many occasions. It’s the kind of item that feels like a luxury but doesn’t come with a luxury price tag, which is exactly what I look for in affordable fashion.

Apricot’s commitment to accessibility is another reason I love this brand. The Constellation Soft Knit Jumper is available in sizes XS to XL, covering a range of body types, and the price point makes it easy for anyone to add a cozy, whimsical piece to their wardrobe. Unlike some brands that charge more for plus sizes or unique patterns, Apricot keeps their prices consistent and reasonable without sacrificing quality. The fact that it’s available on their Irish website with free shipping is also a huge plus—no dealing with international fees or long delivery times.

Are there any downsides? The only minor complaint I have is that the jumper doesn’t have pockets. I’m a sucker for jumper pockets—they’re so handy for keys, lip balm, or my phone—but it’s not a dealbreaker. I just carry a small crossbody bag when I’m wearing it, and it doesn’t take away from how great the jumper is. Another small thing: the relaxed fit might be too oversized for those who prefer a more fitted knit, but if that’s the case, sizing down could work (just check the size guide!). But honestly, these are tiny quibbles that don’t detract from the jumper’s overall excellence.

Overall, my experience with Apricot’s Constellation Soft Knit Jumper in Grey has been nothing short of fantastic. From the seamless shopping experience on apricotonline.com/ie to the high-quality product itself, this jumper has exceeded my expectations in every way. It’s cozy, stylish, versatile, and well-made—everything I want in a winter wardrobe staple. Whether you’re looking for something to wear lounging at home, running errands, or meeting friends, this jumper delivers.
If you’re on the fence about buying it, here’s my advice: go for it. The grey color is timeless, the constellation pattern is charming, and the fit is flattering for most body types. At €43, it’s a low-risk purchase that you’ll wear again and again. Apricot has done an incredible job of creating a piece that feels intentional and well-crafted, designed for real life rather than just the runway. I’ve already recommended it to my sister, my best friend, and even my colleague—and all of them have bought it, raving about how much they love it.

In a world of fast fashion that’s full of disposable pieces, Apricot’s Constellation Soft Knit Jumper is a breath of fresh air. It’s a piece that feels like it was made to last, not just to be worn once. I can’t wait to wear it through winter and into spring (layered over lighter outfits), and I know it will still be a favorite next year. If you’re looking to add a cozy-chic, whimsical staple to your wardrobe, this jumper is a must-have. Trust me—you won’t regret it.
Would you like me to craft a seasonal styling guide for this jumper, with outfit ideas for autumn, winter, and spring? It’ll help you get even more wear out of this versatile piece.
