Forget the tinsel, the tree and the mistletoe. The must-have decor for the festive season is the kind that you can wear – the Christmas jumper.

It’s the time of year when you can put your fashion sense on ice and embrace a Noel-inspired knit.

No longer a novelty reserved for embarrassing uncles and fancy dress, the kookiest Christmas sweaters are now worn as a style statement, from full-on reindeer cuteness to crystal snowflake couture.

The only real downfall is their limited shelf life. Festive knits are one-month wonders, strictly for December only. So buy now to get your full woolly wear, and add some Christmas cheer to your closet.
