Topshop: Petite Knitted Xmas Snowman Jumper
£50.00
You may smirk at first but this Knitted Xmas Snowman Jumper at Topshop is a sure-fire christmas jumper winner! The bold colours set against the dark background not only make the snowman print stand out, but ensure that you don’t look like you’ve borrowed clothes from your little sister. This is fun and quirky making it a versatile choice that will go well with laid-back jeans and comfy Ugg-style boots or play the wild card at the office party by teaming this with a leather mini-skirt and studded ankle boots in black to mix up the festive feel. Steer clear of tinsel hair accessories and Christmas tree earrings with this option though, you don’t want to be THAT girl!
John Lewis: Kookai Cowl Neck Jacquard Jumper in Cinnamon
£115.00
For those of you that want to play this Christmas jumper trend ‘safe’, the Kookai Cowl Neck Jacquard Jumper in Cinnamon at John Lewis is for you. The festive jacquard print and jumper are in muted yet warm tones and the cowl neck adds a touch of sophistication so that you look stylish while still giving a subtle nod to this fun trend. The three-quarter length sleeves add to the chic, laid-back feel while the flattering cut means that you will be safe to indulge in all the mince pies you desire! The fine fabric and slouchy look of this jumper were made for a pair of simple, well-cut jeans and delicate, grown up jewellery. Heels or flats will complete an easy but effective seasonal look.
Freemans: Brunotti Hooded Knitted Jumper
£95.00
Nothing quite says Christmas like baubles – so why not put them on your Christmas jumper?! All hail the Brunotti Hooded Knitted Jumper at Freemans! This cozy knit screams festive flair from its flattering cut, to its use of greens, whites and reds. The unexpected use of hot pink and yellow keep it up-to-date and the V-neck breaks up what could have been an overwhelming pattern. The added hood gives off an urban edge so throw a leather jacket over this yummy yuletide option and rock with skinnies and a statement ring or two. This is another fun choice but one you can toughen up if it’s all getting a bit soft and cuddly for you!
boohoo.com: Juliet Bunny Knit Jumper
£25.00
There would have been a time when you may have cringed upon receiving a jumper such as this under the Christmas tree but 2011 is the year of change, so embrace this Juliet Bunny Knit Jumper at boohoo.com which is a bargain at £25.00 and whose quirky bunny print is reminiscent of the repeated cat print Victoria Beckham used in her latest design offering. You’ll also be hitting two style birds with this creation as monochrome is also a hit this season so make a statement with a pair of colour pop jeans and layer on a few pendants or throw this on over a floaty party dress for ultimate casual chic. This cute knit was made for having fun with!
La Redoute: Long-Sleeved Jacquard Knit Jumper
£39.00
The seasonal jacquard print makes another appearance here, this time on the Long-Sleeved Jacquard Knit Jumper at La Redoute. We love the colours on this comfy Christmas jumper favourite as they are bright and complementory but still remain unobtrusive and suited to the Christmas period. This long sleeved piece is probably the most wearable of all the pieces here and can be worn again without looking out of place, well into the New Year. For a cool, preppy look, wear with a denim skirt and thick, wool tights and wrap up in chunky hat/mitten sets. Or turn the trend on its head by dressing down a pair of leather pants. The contrasting fabrics will look gorgeous!
So did you ever think the day would come when your nan could say “I told you so”? Will you be donning this look under the mistletoe this year, and will you be going all out or holding back on this tinsel trend?
Let us know what you think as always…
