Despite enjoying fashion’s proclivity for being flamboyant, I’m usually the sort of person who dodges wearing anything remotely festive. Halloween costumes are a strictly no-go area, Valentine’s Day isn’t worth celebrating, so then of course Christmas jumpers are completely out of the question. Don’t get me wrong—Christmas is one of my favourite times of the year but when I start seeing the two words ‘novelty’ and ‘knitwear’ together, I want to run a mile. I detest it all: from pull-overs festooned with stick-out reindeer antlers to cable knits with look-at-me tinsel embellishments.
