20 Best Christmas Jumpers You Won’t Be Embarrassed To Wear

For some, the thought of wearing garish Christmas jumpers with tinsel woven into the fabric, bells jingling as you walk; which screams out Mariah Carey’s top note from the Christmas song at the touch of a button triggers a fashion freakout. They’ll save Christmas outfits for, well, Christmas Day – and refrain from any festive attire unless it’s the 25th. Others? They’re rocking their Santa-embroidered knitwear the minute they open day one of their beauty advent calendar.

TBH, we sit somewhere in the middle. We’re selective about our Christmas jumpers, ensuring we partake – but by investing in a style that won’t be relegated to just one day of the year. If, like us, you’re ready to hang up your party dresses after attending a string of Christmas-y soirées, and slip into something more relaxed, we have found the most stylish Christmas jumpers that will soon become part of your everyday winter uniform.

From timeless cream cable knit jumpers, and equally classic Argyle knitwear that will team beautifully with any outfit every year, to Anthropologie’s bow design, which is a subtle nod to Christmas, or Farm Rio‘s slogan jumper, which is a sophisticated spin on the conventional Christmas jumper, there is a broad selection to choose from.

Whether you pair with a trusty pair of denim jeans, silver leather pants, a satin slip skirt, or silky pair of trousers, bedazzled sequin trousers, a leather skirt, or a pair of leggings with a much-needed elasticated waistband to stay comfortable post festive feast, we have found a variety of versatile styles to suit your style preferences and budget.

Without further ado, here are the best Christmas jumpers that prove novelty knits do not have to be tacky, and are much more versatile than you think.


When is Christmas Jumper Day 2025?

Wearing a fun jumper always feels better when it’s for a good cause, doesn’t it? Every year, Save the Children runs a fundraising event, aka Christmas Jumper Day. You can choose to purchase Save the Children’s Christmas jumper, or wear one of your own designs and donate to the cause.

This year Christmas Jumper Day falls on 11th December, so pencil the date in your diary and have your Christmas jumper at the ready.


Ahead, our selection of the best Christmas jumpers.
