THE CHRISTMAS SWEATER EDIT

The big day is coming – get your troops ready and put a little festive cheer in their closets

The rise of the Christmas sweater in the past few years has been incredible: from ironic novelty item to genuine seasonal essential. This year we’ve gone big on festive Fair Isle patterns, but if you’re looking for something with a little more novelty, we’ve got the lot: jolly Christmas trees, 3D snowballs, and a raft of random slogans and characters (dachshunds, anyone?) will guarantee smiles all round, while glittery finishes will add sparkle to any occasion. This is the one time of year when more is more, so what are you waiting for?
