25 Christmas Jumpers That Will Work From Now Until February

November 4, 2020 Comments Off

Despite enjoying fashion’s proclivity for being flamboyant, I’m usually the sort of person who dodges wearing anything remotely festive. Halloween costumes are a strictly no-go area, Valentine’s Day isn’t worth celebrating (sorry), so then, of course, Christmas jumpers are completely out of the question. Don’t get me wrong—Christmas is one of my favourite times of the year but when I start seeing the two words “novelty” and “knitwear” together, I want to run a mile. I detest it all—from pull-overs festooned with stick-out reindeer antlers to cable knits with look-at-me tinsel embellishments.

Call me Ebenezer but that doesn’t mean I’m completely averse to a bit of festive-style clothing. And this year just so happens to be the year when the Christmas jumper can finally meet the word subtle. This season’s knitwear while being a little more sparkly than your usual autumnal jumper, is ideal for wearing right now until the end of winter in 2021. Spotted on the runways at JW Anderson, Altuzarra, Molly Goddard, Loewe and Molly Goddard, knitwear was a taken up a notch. Some were bejewelled, some had sequin details, and others had fringed beading. But all are ideal for party season—especially when it’s going to be a little different this year. Below, I’ve hunted down the ideal knitwear to wear right now and then all the way through winter. Come Christmas Day, however, it’ll still feel festive enough for a celebration.

Next up, the biggest autumn/winter 2020 fashion trends to know.
