Annnnd it’s THAT time of year. The search for the best Christmas jumpers for women. It’s a strange phenomenon, the festive pullover. They used to be itchy, scratchy and seriously naff. And now? Now, they are EVERYWHERE!
Christmas jumpers for women come in all sorts of styles!
From the fantastic Save the Children Christmas Jumper Day on December 13th to your friend turning up to a night out with a flashing reindeer nose attached to her top, and she’s wearing it in an entirely unironic way.
Me? I love a sweatshirt with a silver sequin festive slogan across the front. My daughter? She’ll happily wear a big, chunky knit with a bold Christmas trees design and lashings of glitter.
Happily, there’s a style of Christmas Jumper out there for all women. You just need to find it! Funnily enough, that’s exactly what we’ve done. Here’s a guide to the best snazzy knits to be found in 2019.

Star jumper £98.00 from The White Company
Muted, stylish and fantastic quality. This beauty is so tasteful it almost isn’t a Christmas jumper. The white and, ever so slightly sparkly, silver stars light up the black night sky base colour.

Beautifully over the top

SO cool! This marl grey sweater is made fabulous with its ingenious design. Create an elf that looks like you, add your name and ‘Voila!’ she becomes part of the snow globe.

Aperol Spritz Christmas Cocktail jumper £29.99 from Etsy.com
Christmas is a great excuse for a cocktail or three and this cheeky sweater celebrates that. A cotton mix with a brushed fleece lining makes this a cosy item for sipping mulled wine at a Christmas market. It also comes in four colours, black, green, navy and red. Choose yours here.
Robin jumper £35.00 from Yumi
This belter from Yumi is one of the few fitted Christmas jumpers we found. It’s made from a slightly shiny, silky material and hugs the figure. In a shade of bright scarlet with two robins sitting on a piece of holly, this says Christmas without being obvious. The silver embellishments really catch the light and will make you stand out in a crowd. Buy yours here.
Pom Pom Reindeer jumper £25 from Marks and Spencer
The design of this is fun. Bright red Pom Poms create Rudolph nose and add a pop of colour to the muted grey background. With a smattering of gold sequins and an all-over repeating pattern, this is bold without being ridiculous. Head here to invest.

‘My Xmas Jumper’ sweatshirt £24.99 from Grindstore.com
The ultimate Christmas jumper for people who really can’t be bothered with it all. The fit is slouchy and designed for lounging around in. It’s black, the print basic and they couldn’t even be bothered to spell Christmas properly. We love the sentiment.
Naughty but nice
Christmas Puddings jumper £12.99 from BooHoo.com
‘Hands off my Christmas Puddings’ with cheekily placed pudding designs over each boob is an eye-catching look that will make others smile.

Ugly and obnoxious Christmas jumpers for women

‘Grandma got run over’ by a reindeer jumper £38.99 from fun.co.uk
This is an odd theme for a Christmas jumper and is best avoided at a family Christmas dinner. Based on a famous song this is likely to be unique at most parties. Made from 100% cotton so it’s very breathable for a big jumper. The knitted-in pattern means it’s easy to wash too. Buy yours here.
