Merry & bright

December is here and the season of turkey and tinsel is upon us. But if you’re struggling to get into the ferstive spirit, Christmas Jumper Day is just what you need.

Now in its 11th year raising money for Save the Children, the event takes place on Thursday, December 8. And it couldn’t be easier – all the charity asks is that you slip on a jolly jumper and donate £2.

Of course, you don’t have to buy a new jumper. If you want to be eco-friendly, swap with a friend or upcycle an old one by adding some tinsel or a bauble.

However, if you are in need of a new knit, this selection should serve up stylish inspiration.
