What's the best maternity Christmas jumper to buy?
According to the style experts at boohoo, searches for Christmas jumpers, which can be delivered in time for National Christmas Jumper Day 2023, have surged by a massive 3,604% across the UK.
According to Boohoo: “Christmas time is ideal to embrace the cheesiness of novelty knitwear, with additions like flashing lights, tinsel, sequins or 3D elements are encouraged, as they allow you to capture the child-like joy of the season.
“However, if you’d like to wear your festive knitwear in a more subtle, stylish way, perhaps when attending your work’s Christmas Jumper Day event, there are some ways to do this.”
The experts say:
If you want something cosier, choose a festive-inspired co-ord set. Matching sets are the height of trendiness right now, and they’re also perfect to keep warm as the colder weather hits. Styled with some fluffy-lined boots and a cute, oversized scarf, loungewear can easily be outerwear and perfect for a day of Christmas shopping.
