The Christmas Jumper

We haven’t even gone past Halloween yet. But in my own opinion now is the time to think about the Christmas jumper that you will be wearing during the festive season.

Of course when we think of  Christmas jumpers, we think of that classic scene from Bridget Jones’ Diary when we are introduced to the charming but stubborn Mark Darcy (Colin Firth). 

Last year, eleven years after the release of Bridget Jones' Diary, the rise of the novelty Christmas jumper began.

I went ahead and ordered my festive piece from Beyond Retro, a vintage clothing company based in London.

Me and my jumper

I think it's a nice idea for everyone to have their own unique Christmas jumper to show off at the ol’ work do and the traditional family gatherings.

On the Beyond Retro website there is a range of 'Ugly Christmas Jumpers' to order online.

Here we have the typical 'Christmas Cheese' jumper for all those lovers of Disney and teddy bears…

and 'Nordic Cheer'  for all those trendy hipster types...

Or 'The Worst Noel' for those who don't care about standing out...

'Jingle Our bells' for those crazy Christmas maniacs who start shopping in August...

And finally the traditional 'Nanna Knits’, that typical horrible jumper that your Nan knitted but you wear it anyway.

The choice is all yours,these different styles are available on beyondretro.com and are priced roughly from £14-30.
