With the holiday season on the horizon, the best jumper dresses are the ultimate choice for cozy festive dressing that won't compromise on style. A great silhouette to invest in for the winter, Christmas jumper dresses can be worn year after year.
A wardrobe essential, the best jumper dresses can be styled up or down depending on the occasion, making them a great choice for the months ahead and a good choice for those who prefer a festive dress over the best Christmas jumpers. If you're looking for jumper dresses with a more party-ready feel, opt for embellished designs, or those that utilize lurex thread, as the added touch of sparkle will make this sweater dress style a great pairing for festive fizz. Easily wearable with tights and heels, add extra twinkle through on-trend statement accessories.
Need something a little more appropriate for a 9-5? Or a jumper dress you can wear beyond the holiday season? Then opt for winter hues of cream, red and green, or look out for timeless fair isle knits. These can be styled with opaque tights and your best winter boots, for a smart look that will also keep you warm as temperatures plummet. For the most warming and luxurious of Christmas jumper dresses, opt for cozy fabrications such as cashmere or wool, as these will be breathable too.
