Christmas Jumper Day 2020: the best Christmas jumpers to wear this Friday

By Polly Knight

5 years ago

Christmas Jumper Day 2020 takes place this Friday. From low-key jewelled styles to all out 80s vibes, here’s our edit of the best Christmas jumpers to shop now.

With only our top half ever being seen right now, the Christmas jumper has never felt more on point. It’s the perfect companion to your leggings and joggers whilst at home or on your weekly jaunt to the supermarket (how about adding a jolly festive mask too?). Or if you’re attending a 6 person outdoor adventure in the near future, just add jeans or a midi skirt (as long as there are heaters nearby) - they are very versatile indeed. 

However Christmas jumpers are fashion Marmite. Are you the sort of person that shudders at the thought of tacky styles? Don’t worry, we have a low-key chic style for you, with just a dusting of glitter. Or are you in the camp that wants to indulge in the awkward tacky nostalgia these jumpers bring (think Mark Darcy in Bridget Jones’s Diary)? We have something for everyone. 

And with Save the Children’s Christmas Jumper Day just around the corner, it’s time to choose your favourite style, spark up some Christmas joy and donate £2 to the charity on 11th December. 

Here’s our edit of the best styles to shop now, that won’t break the bank, and that you’ll want to hold onto until next festive season, when hopefully it’ll get a bit more airtime than a little square box.
