Stylish Christmas jumpers (you'll want to wear afterwards)
Want to get into the spirit of Christmas more than ever this year, but wouldn't be seen dead in a tacky Christmas jumper? No worries gentlemen, I've sought out some sweaters that have a festive feel but these jumpers are not just for Christmas.....oh no, there's no going straight back in the cupboard till next year for these fine pieces of knitwear. You'll want to wear them over and over again once the decs are down, and the working from home has been resumed.
If you're more of a plain than patterned sort of guy, follow in Santa's footsteps and go for red. This ribbed sweater gives a nod to Christmas in a subtle way so you can continue wearing it long after the turkey has been carved. Plus, you can feel proud for buying British as this sweater was knitted in Scotland from locally sourced wool.

However. if you love a fancy pattern then Trunk Clothiers have come up with this understated but festive feeling sweater. Perfect for Zooming the distant family - just accessorise with the Christmas hat from your cracker and you'll look the part. After the silly season is over wear with denim or a pair of grey cords to keep you warm for outdoor Sunday pub lunches.

Nothing says winter like a cream cable knit sweater - you can just imagine wearing this when you go off for a walk on a frosty Christmas morning. It'll look great with jeans or dress it up a bit with a chambray shirt under it, grey flannel trousers and dark brown Chukka boots. And if you're still not convinced, just take a look at how cool Chris Evans looks in his in Knives Out last year.
