With the big day just a couple of weeks away it is time to fully embrace that festive feeling. While Christmas Jumper Day might officially be on the 11th of December this year, as soon as those Christmas decorations go up we can’t help but start planning our Christmas outfits. As celebrations are more relaxed this year, this is the perfect opportunity to switch out your favourite sequin party dress for something cosier and more laid back.

Christmas jumpers and embellished knits have been flying off the shelves this season as we all embrace December with loungewear vibes in mind. And although the phrase Christmas jumper might conjure up something cheesy, this year's crop of festive knits are far chicer than you may have previously encountered. From glorious star embellishments and cheery slogans to a Christmassy sprinkling of sequins and pearls, this year's Christmas jumper is the winter outfit of dreams. Perfectly paired with your favourite jeans, a faux leather skirt or even joggers, a festive jumper can look dressed up and ready for a Snowball cocktail in a jiffy, while also giving you the ultimate in Christmas couch-chilling style too, making them the ultimate cult buy for the month of December. Whether you're self-gifting or still looking to get Christmas gifts for loved-ones, here are some of our favourites:

 The slogan sweater has been a huge trend for the past year and it shows no signs of abating. With 2020 the way it is, we certainly all need to do our bit to spread a little Christmas cheer and plenty of love and happiness where we can, making this 'Love' jumper the perfect winter warmer.

 Celestial inspirations have been a huge trend for winter 2020 and this striking jumper with rainbow sequin embellishment has been a big hit. Great for teaming with a skirt or trousers, this versatile piece will certainly bring a smile to your face every time you wear it.

 For those who prefer a more low-key look, the subtle pearl detailing on this jumper is incredibly stylish. The slightly ballooned sleeve adds a nice on-trend finish and the higher neck will ensure this knit is super snuggly too for those bitterly cold days.

 This beaded and sequinned knit with keyhole front detail is such a stand out piece you're guaranteed to turn heads with this one. As the jumper is such a statement look, keep the rest of your outfit simple and pair with black jeans or trousers and black shoes and let your knit do the talking.

 Delicate detailing has been the simplest way to bring a sprinkle of joy into our wardrobe this Christmas. A cosy, soft grey, knitted jumper with a smattering of jewel detailing, you won't be able to avoid that festive feeling in this little number. Pair with faux leather for a sophisticated winter outfit look or pair with joggers on Boxing Day to cling onto that festive feeling.
