Dressed in or wearing a guernsey, a type of knitted sweater or close-fitting woolen garment.
From 'Guernsey', a Channel Island, where this type of sweater originated and was traditionally knitted. The '-ed' suffix indicates 'clothed in' or 'wearing'.
Guernsey sweaters were so iconic to the island's identity that English created an adjective to describe someone wearing one—these tightly-knit wool garments were designed for fishermen because they shed water naturally.
