Description
If you want a jumper that reads as a proper Christmas jumper from across a room, this is the shape to buy. Santa, reindeer and snowflakes worked into a long-sleeved knitted pullover — the design language has barely changed since American department stores started selling festive knitwear in the 1950s.
It is sincere rather than funny, and that is a genuine advantage. Joke jumpers have a shelf life of one party; a well-chosen traditional knit gets worn every December for years, and photographs far better at a family Christmas than a slogan does.
Good for
- Family Christmas, where the audience spans three generations
- Anyone who dislikes being stared at but still wants to take part
- People who want something they will genuinely wear again
One caution
Knit is warm. In a heated office you will want a t-shirt underneath, and you may still be rolling the sleeves by mid-afternoon. If you are wearing it for a full working day rather than an evening, a printed sweatshirt is the more comfortable choice — our buying guide explains the trade-off.
