So, are Xmas jumpers ever acceptable in the world of s&b?

[Romcom]

......even vaguely subtle ones?
Discuss.......

Don't know about anyone else (probably not!) but they are as essential for me as my annual new pair of Rudolph pyjamas....

I am a bit of a Christmas nut though

Yes! I think the only rules are that you must wear them at Christmas and never try to wear them "ironically". In for a penny, in for pound!

I would have said no but today in Primark yes really there was a fluffy dusky pink jumper dusted with a subtle snowflake print it looked really lovely. have to say there were loads of less subtle fun ones with fluffy polar bears and the like that were nice too.

Yes, but only on Christmas eve for me. I wore mine with 'leather' trousers down the pub last year.
And I do think you have to go all in, novelty reindeer / snowmen etc or patterned, anything else / subtle just misses the mark and looks a bit crap compared to everyone else's.

I have tasteful one, which gets wheeled out for festive occasions, and yes, I think it's perfectly acceptable. Navy blue with white snowflakes. Probably not in the spirit of festive jumpers because it isn't really tacky enough.

It is actually DH's jumper, but I liked it so much we decided to share it. It's oversized on me; looks nice with skinny jeans.

They have become really popular in the last couple of years.

Well I've ignored them for years on the basis that I remembered them the first time around.

Last night I caved in Primark to a navy one with a repeating pattern of holly and snowmen.

I wouldn't say it's tasteful but it's full flavour Christmas and if you can't do that at Christmas when can you?!

As another christmas nut, Christmas jumpers are essential. I've just bought a Mrs Claus jumper from Primark, it is so OTT, there is no way of making it stylish but that's not really the point. The look I'm aiming for is made-for-tv American Christmas movie.
I also have more jazzy ones which are for going out in, the Topshop ones are fab for this. I have a couple of snowflake pattern ones for general winter wear, and a couple of stag ones. And quite a few Nordic style jumpers. I also wear tons of red and green.
But then I watch Christmas movies all year round.

I am very much in the, 'Absolutely Not' Camp, but I may well be on my own there. Dp says he's having one this year, and I've told him he'll be finding somewhere else to spend Christmas, if he does. :)

Bah humbug remus

I've got to work on boxing day this year so I'll be wearing one then prob with tinsel in my hair and novelty earrings

Yup!

I don't know how you can tell whether someone's wearing one 'ironically' or not. Either way, I wouldn't be seen dead in one.

Admittedly, I am in Australia and it's usually too hot to wear clothes at all (spent last Christmas Day in the pool), let alone a jumper!

Blimey, Candy, you really buy into all that Christmas shizz, don't you?

I guess the clue is in the name....

I like them. I have only got one (not enough space in my wardrobe for more).

But then, I would love to buy matching Christmas pyjamas for the whole family...

Oh God yes. The less subtle, the better.

I go for the "sod stylish" approach when donning a Christmas jumper. The naffer and sillier the better.

I should say that I will only wear them for the week before Christmas by which point I am so full of Baileys and mince pies I don't care about being stylish

Omg senatus can you really buy matching pyjamas for the whole family? Including toddler? I need a link!

Christmas jumpers are ace!

You sure can CleverPlans the matching family ones are a bit too American cheesey but you can get them on Amazon.

Me and ds just get new red Rudolph ones each year instead of the matching ones!

CleverPlans a few good examples here

Oh my goodness. So tempted

family Santa pjs

OMG those matching family PJs!!!! Wahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!

God I LOVE them. H would have a sense of humour failure though. I've bought the kids new PJs already for Xmas, but I'm SO tempted.

My friend had to wear one for a work charity event last year.

I bought in a fit of madness a Cath Kidston Penguin sweatshirt (complete with snow) and used it for decorating this year....

i do have a nice Sparkle and Fade Urban Outfitters black with silver glitter jumper that I bought about 2 years ago but that's more glam than Crimbo and my SIL and her SIL both wanted one when they saw it

I ignored them previously but this year have caved and now have 4 Christmas jumpers . I don't think the Christmas season is long enough to wear all of them...

I have a lovely Nordic one that has been going for a few years that I wear over winter.

Each year I then buy one cheap novelty one from ebay or Primark. Last year was the Home Alone quote one.
