EVERY CHRISTMAS JUMPER YOU NEED THIS FESTIVE SEASON

It’s only right that the first item on this list be one of winter’s standout trends. With reams of heritage charm and a cosy cottage feel, anything tartan will instantly transport you to a festive fireside complete with cocoa and jingle bells. Like all good prints, this classic comes in a range of colours, so you can indulge in personal preference whilst keeping your Christmas outfit en vogue. From jeans to tailored trousers, these pieces suit any style or situation – long after the festive season has faded.

Another hot topic this winter is argyle. Think of it as tartan’s sophisticated, well-travelled cousin. This heritage knit has been around for centuries and made a splash on runways earlier in the year. To lean into your festive fancies, opt for rich tones like deep red and bold blue. And don’t be afraid to branch out from the usual silhouettes. Argyle and cardigans are the power-couple of the knitwear world, which makes them prime style material at this time of year.

If you’re more of a minimalist, Christmas jumpers might put the fear of Krampus in you. But there’s no need to be a complete Grinch. Seasonal colours and heavyweight knits can be just as festive as a Santa hat and fairy lights. There’s no need to lean on typical shades, either. Red and green are go-tos during December, but bold cobalt and burgundy also scream ‘it’s time!’ in a pitch to match Mariah Carey. We love this off-kilter colour-block jumper from Topman, which pairs a deep wine red with creamy beige (two colours abundant on the festive dinner table). Plus, thick quality knits will keep the winter chills at bay when you’re getting your steps in.

These guys always deserve an honourable mention. The classic novelty Christmas jumper. Loved and loathed by everyone – they crop up each year to a flurry of raised brows and reluctant laughs. But we can’t resist having a few joke Xmas jumpers in our lineup. After all, they’re a great talking point at those awkward corporate dos. These pieces are also perfect for lounging around in the days between Christmas and New Year's Eve – providing cosiness and childhood nostalgia in equal measure.
