Chic Christmas jumpers

By Rebecca Gonsalves on 9/12/2019

Christmas Jumper Day started as unofficial festive fun, but it's now an annual charity fundraiser.

But buying a single-use novelty sweater in a nasty acrylic blend is an unsustainable practice that needs to stop.

Thankfully, London has a host of vintage stores and charity shops with plenty of novelty cast-offs and the sort of retro 'dad' jumpers that are perfect to don on Friday 13 December 2019.

If you're looking for a long-lasting new option, then read on for the Culture Whisper guide to the chicest alternative knits for Christmas Jumper Day and beyond.

Culture Whisper is your curated guide to the best of London. We may earn a commission for items purchased through our retailer links.
