20 Classy Christmas Jumpers That Bring Fashion to the Festive Season

'Tis the seasons for naff knitwear. From the moment you open the first window on your Advent calendar, Christmas jumpers become the unofficial uniform of December. While there's a whole host of cheesy designs, from light-up Christmas jumpers to pun slogans, there are also a number of classy Christmas jumpers if you know where to look.

There's no need to totally leave your fashion sense behind for this year's festivities. Classic fairisle prints, sophisticated sparkle, and quirky motifs make for a stylish season. If you want to expand you knitwear in general, look for winter patterns like snowflakes over Christmas-specific shapes like Christmas trees so that you can wear them way past the big day. Plus, they also make the best Christmas presents for friends and family, too.

Some of our favourite high street retailers, including Boden, Oasis, Monki, and many more, can be trusted to add a touch of class to the classic Christmas jumper. And we've found a good helping of small independent brands as well as more luxury labels who are providing our wardrobes with some seasonal Christmas cheer. Use them over the top of the best affordable party dresses for a more casual take or wear with a pair of your reliable jeans.
