The best Christmas jumpers that you’ll secretly want to wear year-round, from M&S to Sainsbury's

From novelty knits to classic Fair Isles, these are GH’s favourites

Jump to Products

Wherever you stand on Christmas jumpers, at some point, you'll find yourself in need of one, whether it's for the annual Christmas Jumper Day at work, which is likely to raise money for Save the Children (this year's is Thursday 10 December), or for your Friendsmas Christmas lunch, or for Auntie Betty's annual festive drinks reception.

These days, there's a Christmas jumper for everyone, including people who don't do Christmas jumpers. From classic fair isle knits and subtle sparkle to full-on 'Christmas has thrown up on this jumper' styles, we've got them all. And if you want to wear some of them year-round when you're indoors, that's positively encouraged.

We've scoured the high street, so you don't have to and these are the knits to snap up before they go.

This makes us want to whip up a hot chocolate and some fondue. There's something so wholesome (and maybe a little bit 80s) about this Nobody's Child knit and we like the relaxed fit.
