How do you feel about Christmas jumpers?

If they aren’t your cup of tea, read on.

Today I’m here to remind you that it’s totally possible to find gorgeous jumpers for the season without going down the novelty route. Jumpers that are tasteful and chic. And ones that are perfectly suitable for the festive season (and way beyond).

By the way, I do (kind of) enjoy seeing other people sporting their own festive sweaters.  I just can’t quite bring myself to wear one.

Anyone else feel like a prize in a cheap cracker when they put one on?

Marks and Spencer’s toe-tapping Christmas jumper advert shows LOTS of great options. None of which are overly Christmassy. Each one would be perfect for Christmas Jumper Day (Friday 13th December), a Sunday roast in your local pub, Christmas Day itself, or indeed, any winter’s day when the temperature calls for it. If your Christmas jumper has seen better days, please choose carefully. Look for one that feels festive, chic and versatile. Then, you can join in the fun AND get lots of wear out of it and get that all important cost-per-wear down as low as possible. (And of COURSE, be kinder to the planet.)

Here are 5 lovely versatile jumpers to give you a snapshot of what’s available.  If non of these tickle your fancy, have a browse in your favourite stores for something versatile that YOU love.

Remember, a jumper isn’t just for Christmas!

These soft pastel tones are SO flattering for anyone with summer colouring. You’ll wear it all winter long. If you aren’t in a rush why not add it to your Christmas list?

I couldn’t write this blog without including one from Marks & Spencer. These tones will work for warm springs and those with autumn colouring.

You can’t beat a bit of sparkle. Suitable for all winter long this sparkle jumper can be worn over leather trousers and heels for a glam party look or over your favourite jeans and boots for something more relaxed.

My fave jumper colour. Perfect for Christmas cheer and versatility. This bright colour will look amazing on those with bright spring or winter colouring.

Whichever colour or style you go for this winter, please choose one you love and wear it to death.

Come January when the party season is over, a gorgeous knit might just keep a smile on your face.
