Ralph Lauren Fair Isle cable-knit jumper, £249

Christmas may come but once a year, but this fuzzy turtleneck will be a wardrobe stalwart from September to March. We love the subtly puffed shoulders and the slightly cropped sleeve length.
Read more ...Boden Howe embellished cardigan, was £85, now £51
No wardrobe is complete without an elegant disco knit, and this bejewelled number will have you party-ready in no time. It's also available in black, with both versions in high demand so check regularly for stock updates if it's not available in your size.
Read more ...Chinti & Parker red cashmere rollneck sweater, £295
In a red to rival Rudolph's nose, this vibrant scarlet cashmere knit will look great with jeans, Chelsea boots and a leather jacket well into the spring.
Read more ...Self Portrait ivory lace-trimmed cable-knit jumper, £260
A sultry take on the classic cable knit, the delicate eyelash lace trim is an easy way to build textures and visual layers into your wardrobe, and will look perfect with faux leather trousers.
Read more ...The Attico ostrich feather-trimmed lambswool cardigan, £948
If you're thinking of straying from the usual festive sequins and sparkles, this could be the perfect party knit for you. The delicate feathers add a hint of flamboyance, while the plunging neckline can be dressed down with a T-shirt or worn alone for a more revealing look.
Read more ...Anthropologie Gaia multicoloured jumper, £130
This colour-flecked take on cosy should come with its own cabin in the woods. As it doesn't we'll have to make do with hunkering down at home with a cup of hot chocolate and a heartwarming Christmas film.
Read more ...Cos wool-alpaca jumper, £89
Minimalists rejoice: the low-key take on the Christmas jumper has been perfected in this cosy cream knit. It's a subtle blend of cable and Fair Isle knits with a bouclé panel and alpaca yarn for added softness.
Read more ...Reformation Dita cable-knit sweater, £265
A classic Fair Isle comes into its own in December, and will work equally well with a pretty slip-skirt for Christmas Eve drinks or a pair of raw-hem mom jeans and some stompy boots for a bracing New Year's Day walk.
Read more ...Cecilie Bahnsen Fifi open-back cable-knit sweater, £560
Business at the front, party at the back: no, it's not the return of the mullet, just a sensual update on a classic courtesy of an open back tied with slender satin ribbons. Practical too, the open back comes in handy when layering over Bahnsen's dreamy voluminous dresses.
Read more ...Arket cropped roll-neck jumper, £79
This loosely cut roll-neck is perfect for cocooning in when you're feeling the chill, but thanks to a clever design and a hint of stretch it can be worn as an off-the-shoulder number as well.
Read more ...Mango openwork knit sweater, £49.99
The knitwear game at Mango is excellent this season, but the pick of the bunch has to be this ruffle-necked number that channels the Sloane Ranger style of The Crown-era Princess Diana with a slightly sexy twist.
