What To Wear With A Christmas Jumper

At this time of the year, all we want to wear is a cosy Christmas jumper. However, while seasonal knits are a festive favourite, they’re notoriously hard to style.

Do you go novelty or chic? Wear it with relaxed jeans or be bold in a sequin skirt? This is where our guide comes in handy. Whether you’re searching for a Christmas Jumper Day outfit, a sparkly style or a more casual combo, tap into dressing ideas below.

Christmas Jumper Dos & Don’ts

During the festive period, wearing a Christmas jumper is just as essential as eating mince pies and watching your favourite Christmas films. Strike the right balance between seasonal and stylish with our Christmas jumper dos and don’ts.

Do Embrace The Fun

The season for wearing Christmas jumpers is short but sweet, so embrace the fun while you can! Update your workwear with a fashionable fair isle knit or give your weekend wardrobe a refresh with a sparkly sweatshirt.

Do Match With Friends & Family

Spread the Christmas cheer by opting for matching Christmas jumpers with friends and family. Not only will little ones love coordinating with parents, siblings and even your pet, matching jumpers make the very best Instagram pics. #SquadGoals.

Don’t Leave it Until The Last Minute

Festive jumpers are very much the item of the season. With this in mind, be sure to snap up your jumper of choice before it’s too late! You should also keep an eye out for Christmas tops and Christmas pyjamas to complete your Christmas clothing collection.

Christmas Jumper Outfit Inspiration

If you think that looking fashionable in a Christmas jumper is impossible, think again. From dressing your jumper up for Christmas dinner to pairing it with pyjamas, our seasonal outfits will have you covered no matter the event.

1. The Subtle & Seasonal Outfit

If this is your first year wearing a Christmas jumper, you might want to ease yourself into the trend with a slightly more subtle approach.

For a toned-down vibe, we recommend choosing knits or minimalist designs. Styling your jumper with jeans, ankle boots and a longline coat proves that festive knits have a place in every winter wardrobe.

2. The Christmas Dinner Look

Full of laughter, delicious food and family bonding, Christmas dinner is one of the most enjoyable parts of the day. Since the meal is central to many celebrations, you’ll want an outfit that matches up to the occasion.

For a stylish and seasonal ensemble, throw a sequin Christmas jumper over your fave party dress. Giving the meal a touch of sparkle, the only accessory this outfit needs is a Christmas cracker hat. You can even wear your slippers underneath the table and no one will know the difference!

3. Christmas Jumper Day

Falling on Friday 11th December, Christmas Jumper Day calls for your boldest, brightest and most Christmassy look. As well as choosing a novelty Christmas jumper, you and your family can go all out with Christmas tops, Christmas socks and seasonal accessories.

To mark the occasion with an iconic family photo, dress up in matching Christmas clothing. Merry and memorable, Christmas Jumper Day is the perfect excuse to embrace festive fashion.

4. The Cosy Combo

There’s nothing better than getting cosy on a cold winter’s night. Whether you’re playing a board game tournament, cuddling up in front of the fire or putting on a festive film, chilled evenings at home wouldn’t be complete without comfy clothes.

For that special seasonal twist, kick back and relax wearing Christmas nightwear and your softest Christmas jumper. Christmas candles, throws and a box of chocolates will help you create a chilled out and Christmassy atmosphere.
