Festive jumpers are everywhere so that means one thing — Christmas is here.
Throughout the seasonal fun, there will be ample opportunities where the dress code will call for something slightly merrier than your usual apparel and for those occasions, we have you covered.
Get in on the sartorial action by fashioning a suitably festive sweater. These are pieces that will be part of your winter wardrobe year after year so hang up any fashion-related hesitations and opt for something bold, kitsch and down-right ridiculous.
In celebration of its 10th annual year, Christmas Jumper Day is taking place on December 10 and provides a chance to give back during the festive period. All you need to do is wear your best edition to work, school or just as part of your work from home wardrobe and donate to Save the Children in order to raise money for the charity.
From the silliest to the most stylish, we have gathered the best Christmas jumpers for adults.
