Which Christmas Jumper?

53 replies

doingmyboxin · 19/11/2023 21:59

For a work night out and an afternoon tea?

And any suggestions on what to wear it with? I'm considering some leather leggings or a shirt that I can wear chunky lace up boots with.

Not sure if prefer the Christmas tree one in cream or black. Thinking cream is better if wearing with black leggings?

I like both the jumpers, but not the jumper dress. I think the peacock just pips it.

The black version of the Laura Whitmore one is lovely with a metallic skirt, short pleated leather skirt or sequin skirt opaque tights and boots.

I like both jumpers, I'd go for the black and wear with a shortish skirt, thick black tight and boots.

Not as keen on the jumper dress.

Think I'm going to look at both as need a new one for this year. Thanks for the suggestions.

Vinoveritass · 20/11/2023 09:26

The peacocks one definitely

LlynTegid · 20/11/2023 10:21

If you have one already, wear it. If not, decline and make a charity donation instead.

mondaytosunday · 20/11/2023 10:35

Peacocks one! Dress is ok but a bit on the short side.

ShinyAppleDreamingOfTheSea · 20/11/2023 10:49

The black Christmas tree jumper - worn with the sparkly skirt as on the model .

I also really like the dress - I'm thinking for myself here as the colour would suit me (unlike black and cream) but don't think I could cope with that high neck . For anyone who is short (me!), the dress wouldn't be anything like that length .

Lakeyloo · 20/11/2023 10:57

Both jumpers are nice. I also quite like the jumper dress. If it's as short on you as it is on the model, it might look nice with black leggings ?

Alternatively, boldly suggest no Christmas attire and do the planet a favour.
Or, if compelled by not wanting to disrupt workplace hierarchy, by second hand: charity shops and online platforms such as eBay and Vinted are groaning under the load of pre-loved Christmas jumpers in fantastic condition.

GreatGateauxsby · 20/11/2023 11:10

Peacocks is marginally nicer but both are nice.

The jumper dress is a no.

IcakethereforeIam · 20/11/2023 12:21

Love the Xmas tree one. The Peacocks one is not to my taste.

NashvilleQueen · 20/11/2023 12:26

I buy one from Peacocks every year as the wool is really nice and soft. I hate scratchy wool.

doingmyboxin · 20/11/2023 12:48

Okay... the unanimous result I was hoping for hasn't happened Grin

Agree that the jumper dress is likely too short. I'm only 5ft 1, but the dress is petite, which I didn't realise.

The fact that Peacocks use soft wool might swing it, as I quite sensitive to woolly jumpers.

Might order both and see.

I like the cream New Look one best, maybe because I'm not a lover of black.

I don't like the jumper dress,

pontipinemum · 20/11/2023 14:12

I like the jumper with the Christmas tree on it.

Those saying about the planet, I am all for buying very few clothes and buy 90% of DS's clothes 2nd hand but for me a Christmas jumper is worn many times over Christmas then put away in a bag with the decorations to come out the following year.

IcakethereforeIam · 20/11/2023 14:31

I hadn't realised you could get the New Look one in white! That's 😍

RuthW · 20/11/2023 14:35

The black and pink one is stunning. Don't like the cream one. The dress is nice.

MsSquiz · 20/11/2023 14:37

I have the off white one from New Look and plan to wear it with black jeans, black leather leggings and a dark red skirt with black tights and boots

yes agree with this

orchardsquare · 20/11/2023 14:43

I don't like sequins but out of the two, I prefer the New Look one.

Sorry, meant to ask... what one is the Laura Whitmore?

I like the Peacocks one best - the fit just looks a bit more modern to me.

I think the New Look one is much nicer in the off-white. Usually, I prefer black for almost everything, but I think the pinkish tone of the sequins looks so much nicer on the cream/white background.

I love the shape of the Next jumper dress and the snowflake design, but I think the pale grey is a bit bland and boring.

Meadowflower2023 · 20/11/2023 17:38

@doingmyboxin I'll add a screenshot, sorry, I can't see you even linked this so I must have followed your link then gone off on a tangent 🤦🏼‍♀️

The peacock's one made me smile. That's a fun jumper so it gets my vote. The one @Meadowflower2023 posted is great and can be used throughout winter.
