3 reasons why this jumper deserves a place in your winter wardrobe

The non-Christmassy jumper you'll wear in December and beyond

It's Christmas! Almost. And all we can think about is what we're going to wear for the entire month of December.

December is the one month of the year where pretty much every day is an occasion. Something is going on, whether it's your present shopping day, the day you bring the littles to see Santy or a catch up with your friend who's home from Australia.

However, while we're all for dressing up in our festive gear, there's only so much sparkle and merriness one can take.

It's tempting to buy stuff that fits in with Christmas theme, but that shiz will not last past December 26th. So, buy one Christmassy jumper to wear multiple times; anything else you buy should cover more than one season.

Take this darling jumper from River Island (€60). It's warm and stylish and you can wear it today, on December 24th and into spring.

This is a jumper you can wear up or down or even to bed if you like. Jeans and flats is a good style combo, but we'd also pair it with a leather mini and high-heeled boots for a chic but cosy night look.

If you really need another reason, just be safe in the knowledge that it's good quality, warm and black-but-with-a-twist, which is the optimal cold-weather style combo. You could easily wear it to work for those days when it's way too cold for a shirt and jacket, and make my words, you'll get all the compliments where ever you wear it.
