The idea of wearing a Christmas jumper might fill you with dread, but you don’t need to limit your knitwear to novelty sweaters during the festive period.
While it’s always fun to wear kitschy pieces for the occasion, opting for knits you can wear more than once a year is a more sustainable, cost-efficient and stylish choice, and one I always choose.

You can still get involved, but you don’t have to wear those cringey Mark Darcy-style reindeer jumpers that just take up space in your wardrobe for the rest of the year.

It helps that this year, we’ve been veering away from dark hues and bearing witness to an explosion of colour, including fuchsia pink.
Both designer fashion and the high street are abundant with chic options, from fairisle to embellished knits.
The best part? You can hold onto them for years, so you’ll always have an option for the holiday season without having to shell out your hard-earned cash needlessly.
