Jayne Cherrington-Cook is a fashion and lifestyle writer with over 23 years' experience. She's also a Christmas jumper fanatic. After years of wearing seasonal sweaters, she knows what to look for in the perfect Christmas jumper.
"The most important aspect is that they need to be versatile," she states. "It can't be too thick as it gets hot in the kitchen on the big day, but you also want to wear it on a Boxing Day walk or to the pub for a pre-Christmas drink with mates. It should also feel nice. You don't want to spend the earth on something you wear a few times a year, but you don't want something that's cheap and itchy."
With that in mind, she (and her family) have tried on pretty much every jumper going, and these are her top picks...
The best Christmas jumpers for women
We had to start our best Christmas jumpers round-up with this special Save the Children jumper - the official charity of Christmas Jumper Day 2022. Not sure when is Christmas jumper day? This year, it's on Thursday 8 December.
Designed exclusively for Save the Children by Myleene Klass and her daughters, each jumper is made from an upcycled vintage sweatshirt. It comes in two designs and various colours - and the best part is 100% of the products goes to supporting children across the globe.
Match with all the family in this cute Christmas jumper. This ribbed crew neck jumper comes in different versions for men and children, so you can be all matchy-matchy for that perfect Christmas photo.
Jayne says: "My son is sadly at the age where matching jumpers are a big no-no, but he said he might be tempted by this one as it wasn't too in your face, however, I have been banned from posting any photos of us wearing them on Instagram."
Knitted from a super soft and snuggly fabric, this is the best Christmas jumper for those who don't want to be too obvious. The pretty pink colour combined with a sequin snowflake means you'll get more wear out of it across the festive years - and beyond.
"This pretty pink shade is so on trend right now and I was immediately drawn to it when I saw it in my local store," says Jayne. "It didn't disappoint when I tried it on either. It really is super soft and strokeable, and I loved colour. It might not be festive enough for me but pink is so on trend right now and this shade is a super happy hue."
Those after something a little cheekier should look no further than New Look's Christmas pudding jumper. The two festive desserts are given the sequin treatment and positioned in the same place as some other prized puddings...
"Sequins are a key component for me when it comes to Christmas jumpers, which is why this one is great," says Jayne. "I also think it's a time of the year to have a bit of fun, which this jumper has in spades (or in this case, puddings)."
This cute slogan jumper from Rock on Ruby at Not on the High Street can be personalised and is made up of a soft cotton and polyester blend. Available in five colours, including festive red, it's designed to be oversized, making it great to cosy up in on a cold December night when working out what to watch in the Christmas TV schedule!
"Sweatshirts are great if you want something that's cosy but a bit more lightweight than something knitted," says Jayne. "It's also a nice touch that you can add personalisation to the cuff, which makes it a lovely Christmas gift."
This sweet sweater from Apricot shuns the traditional Christmas colours for something a bit more modern and stylish - pastel green adorned with sequin snowflakes.
"How cute is this knit? And it's a real bargain," says Jayne. "These knits are only worn once or twice a year so it's not worth spending lots of money, especially when they feel as soft and lovely as this one."
