Christmas Jumper Day: Best fashionable knitwear to survive the festive season in style

From Topshop to Sophie Hulme, we round up the festive jumpers that actually look nice

This Friday is Christmas Jumper Day; the day when you take out the most festive items in your wardrobe, all in the name of Christmas spirit.

Despite the cheery atmosphere, some still find the jumper tradition a bit daunting. But fear not. If you are not exactly bursting with festive cheer, you can still be part of the seasonal celebrations but in a more restrained, marginally more fashionable way. And no, you don’t have to break the bank.

With plenty of offerings on the high-street and online, you can stock up on timeless scarlet wool jumpers, monochrome jacquard, sequin or knitted intarsia jumpers to survive the festive season with style.
