I’m no Grinch when it comes to Christmas. I love decking the halls, nibbling on mince pieces, sipping mulled wine, shopping ‘til I’m dropping, carolling by candlelight – you get the gist, all the clichés. And, when it comes to Christmas dressing, the same applies: a good Christmas jumper is my first point of call.
Now, when I say Christmas jumpers, I’m not referring to the tacky, garish, obscenely cheesy novelty varieties. Save those for children and fancy dress. I’m taking elegant, chic knits that can be worn from celebratory drinks to snuggling up by the fire, while still being fun, festive and fabulous.
Whether sparkly, sequinned, Fair Isle or sealed with a bow, here’s my edit of the best Christmas jumpers to see you through the festive season. Invest now and be sure to wear yours on Christmas Jumper Day; the annual Save the Children fundraising event taking place on 11 December 2025.
We Norwegians + Markarian sweater
Bring the party with you in this Christmas jumper, whether heading to a festive dinner, pub sesh or aprés on a mountain far away. Part of We Norwegians’ exclusive collaboration with New York label Markarian, the tactile bouclé sweater is vibrant, playful, and super cosy. I’ll be wearing mine with champagne in hand to match. Chin chin!
Karl Lagerfeld bow jumper
If you haven’t noticed, bows are everywhere this season, and I’m not just talking about your Christmas decorations. Nail the trend in this cute, feminine jumper adorned with an all-over bow design. Delicate but bold in a striking monochrome colourway, wear with skirts and trousers alike for an understated festive look which can be worn into the new year too.
Loewe Fair Isle sweater
A more traditional version of the Christmas jumper, the Fair Isle knit has been around for centuries for a reason. Upgrade yours with Loewe’s shimmering sequinned offering. With a contemporary boxy silhouette, make this your new go-to seasonal jumper.
Sacai sequinned wool sweater
For something truly sparkly, slip on Sacai’s wool knit adorned with oversized festive red sequins. An easy way to dress up a seasonal outfit, pair with understated accessories to let the jumper do all the talking.
Manava Champagne sweatshirt
A grown-up, modern and highly chic take on the classic Christmas jumper, this champagne sweatshirt is simply irresistible. From the clothing brand founded by model Jodie Kidd, the luxuriously soft design is crafted from 100 per cent cotton and cut to a relaxed, slouchy fit. Reading ‘More Champagne Please’, well, you heard them… Perfect for New Year’s Eve celebrations, too.
With Nothing Underneath Chamonix jumper
Whether you’re off on a country walk, snuggling up by the fire at home or, indeed, off-piste in Chamonix, make With Nothing Underneath’s jumper your go-to winter hero. A retro oversized Fair Isle design woven, it’s cosy, chic and nostalgic in all the right ways.
Ralph Lauren Snowflake short-sleeve jumper
Turn to Ralph Lauren for classic American preppy style that is timeless, luxe and sophisticated. This snowflake jumper is a case in point with its short-sleeved, mockneck silhouette and jacquard-knit geometric borders.
Chinti & Parker Tis the Season sweater
Simple but effective, Chinti & Parker’s Christmas jumper ticks all the boxes. A festive shade of Santa Claus red? Check. Luxuriously soft wool-cashmere blend? Check. Fabulous bow and seasonal slogan? Check and check. Wear for all your celebrations, ‘tis the season after all.
