Winter has come, and now sweater season is now upon us!
Seeing that Christmas pretty much starts in October now, it makes sense that one should own more than one holiday sweater. “Ugly Christmas sweater” have become a legit millennial necessity, available all over Amazon and every crappy t-shirt shop online. Sure, a half-decent sweatshirt with Jon Snow on the front might win you the prize at your next ugly Christmas sweater party, but what about that obligatory trip to grandma’s house, or that office Christmas party, or that candlelight church service?
Being a retail worker, I’ve resorted to building a growing collection of holiday-inspired knitwear to wear to work for the holidays. Let’s just add this as a positive thing a disgruntled retail worker can do for the last quarter of the year.
Here’s a hand-picked selection of quality knitwear from some of my absolute favourite brands that will get you through any holiday function.
Collectif – Chrissie Striped Jumper
A sweet and simple Christmas colours in a classic stripe print. Its classic cut also pairs well with high-waist skirts. Dress it up or down. It’s perfect for any holiday occasion. (UK sizes 6-22 / US sizes 2-18)
New Look – GINgle Bells Jumper
I wouldn’t normally consider tops with sayings to be my normal cup of tea, but sometimes you just need the right saying to speak to you. And to others. This one does. (UK sizes 4-18/ US sizes 0-14)
