The Christmas lights are up and Tesco is rammed with selection boxes. To us, that means one thing – it's time to start shopping for a Christmas jumper.

We have the same dilemma every year… should we go all out-with a novelty jumper featuring bells and tinsel or keep it chic with an understated but stylish festive knit?

Luckily, it is possible to find a balance somewhere in the middle, especially on the high street. Here are a few Christmas looks we're coveting this season…

1. Naughty or Nice
Ever wonder what list you’ll be on? It’s not too late to change Santa’s mind…

Naughty or Nice Christmas Jumper, €18, Penneys

 

2. Be Bold
Our fave Home Alone quote, immortalised forever in jumper form. And a gorgeous deep green off-the shoulder jumper, at that.

Violet Slash Neck Filthy Animal Christmas Jumper, €21.25, Boohoo

 

3. Christmas sparkle
We love the gold embellishment on this jumper – stylish AND festive.

Sequin Jumper, €19.99, H & M

 

4. Red-nose Rudolph
Got a Twelve Pubs night planned? There's no way your friends will lose you in a crowded bar if you're wearing this electric blue number.
