Trend of the week: Novelty Christmas jumpers

Once a fad, now an annual fixture – where would we be without Christmas irony?
It appears that kitsch knits and silly slogans tees have gone from twee to party must-haves ever since their ironic redux in the mid-noughties.
Let’s be honest, we wouldn’t have it any other way!
So, if turkeys are party of your tradition, then give your serving of style a basting of yuletide fun with our nod to novelty!

STYLE NOTES
Light up the room with an LED Christmas jumper!
Kitsch not your thing? Opt from a festive Fair Isle cardigan or an Intarsia knit sweater for more Aspen appeal.
Pair your Christmas slogan t-shirt with a Joanne Hynes collar and a leather skirt for a fashionable spin.
For a nod to the trend, show some Santa love on a sock or keep your head warm with a Christmas pudding hat!
