Can My Family Rock A Christmas Jumper With Style?

Ah Christmas jumpers. In the last few years, they’ve gone from seriously uncool (Bridget Jones and Mark Darcy anyone?) to ironically cool to… well, have they gone past the point of irony back to uncoolness again?

Or, actually,  is Christmas something that should just never try to be cool? After all, some of my favourite decorations are the tatty old things I’ve had for years and I loved it when my parents put our (crappy) homemade decorations on the tree. Year after year. Until they practically disintegrated.

And when it comes to Christmas jumpers, now that Save The Children have created Christmas Jumper Day (December 12th, fact fans), we have a brilliant reason to wear our festive knits and if anyone dares to scoff at us, we can remind them that’s it’s all for charity. This year, a selection of Christmas jumpers that George at Asda are selling will see a portion of the money go to Save The Children. YAY TO GEORGE AT ASDA.

Here’s how we’ll be rocking our festive knits, come 12th December…

Me

I’ve got this Nordic pastel jumper (£16), and I wore it last week, on a little trip to Columbia Road flower market with the family. It’s kind of a Christmas jumper in disguise – you might miss the festive reindeer if you didn’t look too closely. I wore it with my distressed jeans, chunky boots and a statement necklace.

Mr P

We’ve gone for another Nordic affair – a navy knit with reindeer and trees (£12) – for Mr P. He usually rocks his jumpers with a pair of loose jeans and tan brogues. Maybe even a shirt underneath, if he’s feeling fancy, like.

The four-year-old

You can’t go wrong with Rudolph, can you? This jumper (£8) is in the boys’ section at George at Asda, but we have bought it for our daughter, and we’ll team it with her Rudolph leggings and probably her black patent boots (not in shot because she was out wearing them when I took this pic!)

So what do you think – will we be rocking our Christmas jumpers in style this year?
