The best festive Christmas jumpers for women

The Christmas Jumper; you’ll either love it or hate it, but there is no better way to spread some festive cheer than with a classic or contemporary Christmas jumper. Not only will it keep you warm and cosy, but they look great too. 

We know that some can look a little garish, and for some that will be the appeal. If you want to go all out for your work’s Christmas jumper day, then we’ve got you covered. Think tinsel, pompoms, wacky characters, funny slogans and even jumpers that light up. 

But there are also a whole range of cute and subtle designs on the market that are perfect for everyday wear. Fair Isle patterns, seasonal quotes and animal prints are popular designs that can be worn all throughout winter without people thinking you’re a Christmas obsessive, and these tend to be the more appealing option for those who can be a bit of a humbug when it comes to celebrating Christmas. 

Take a look at our list of the best Christmas jumpers 2017 has to offer; we’ve found something to suit all styles and budgets, and for those who are both naughty and nice this December.

A little pricey 

If you don’t want to go too OTT this Christmas, then this cute penguin jumper is subtle and soft and could be worn all throughout winter. It’s not too thick, either, which means you can team it with something underneath for an even more casual look. This jumper has made our number one spot due to its comfort. The penguin itself is fluffy and the jumper is fitted which makes it appealing to lots of ladies compared to other Christmas jumpers which tend to be quite frumpy. It is a little pricey for a jumper, but it is of high quality and can be worn year after year as it is not entirely specific to Christmas.

A bit bold for some 

Christmas tree? Check. Snowmen? Check. Candy canes? Check. This festive jumper looks like there was an explosion at the Christmas factory, in the nicest possible way. Although quite busy looking, we love the subtle metallic detailing on this jumper and that it incorporates cute robins, wreaths, and snowflakes as well as other classic Christmas imagery. The light background balances out the busy design and for just £25.00 RRP, we think this jumper is a great staple for your winter wardrobe.
