Meet the Twixmas jumper – the perfect knit for right now
No Santas, no reindeer and zero tolerance of gingerbread men – go for a sweater that is cosy and special but not overtly Christmassy
TL;DR
- Post-Christmas days ('Twixmas') are a time for rest and relaxation, requiring a comfortable yet stylish wardrobe.
- The ideal knitwear for this period is cozy and special, but not overtly Christmassy.
- Avoid specific Christmas motifs like Santas, reindeer, gingerbread men, robins, and Christmas trees.
- Acceptable embellishments include abstract snowflakes, holly, berries, sparkle, and pearls.
- Patterns like argyle diamonds and Fair Isle are perfect, evoking a 'Scandi drama' rather than a 'Santa's grotto' feel.
- The knit should be versatile, suitable for lounging indoors, brisk walks, and social gatherings.
- Avoid super-chunky jumpers that might cause overheating; opt for a balance that maintains optimal body temperature.
- The right knitwear can help define the 'Twixmas' days as luxurious rather than aimless.
