Where did the tradition of Xmas Jumpers come from?

A once often unwanted homemade gift from well-meaning relatives, the humble beginnings of the Christmas jumper date back as far as the nineteenth century. Once believed to be worn by fishermen in Scandinavia, the knitted apparel was later popularised by well-known celebrities at ski resorts; subsequently, those wishing to emulate the luxurious aesthetic and enjoy similar outdoor pursuits began to wear them too, and so the tradition grew. With technological advancements came access to more affordable options in the knitwear department, so retailers began marketing the seasonal Christmas sweatshirt. The 2001 release of Bridget Jones’s Diary saw Colin Firth awkwardly kitted out in a novelty Christmas jumper that perfectly marked the love and rise of the ugly jumper, far removed from its traditional fishermen’s Fair Isle print. More recently, online fashion stores are reviving popular 80s fashion icons and adorning jumpers with everything from Back to the Future nostalgia to Care Bears.

Etsy Christmas sweaters for boys

While the perfect mens Christmas jumper is unlikely to have an array of adorable animals, dancing gingerbread men or a cheeky Pikachu; conversely, these all make for the ideal boy's festive sweater. The notorious T-Rex and its prehistoric companions are very popular, with many a ‘tree-Rex’ appearing on Esty boys' sweaters this season. Guardians of the Galaxy characters are equally in demand, with designs signalling 80s fashion nostalgia. Slogan sweaters and a classic lineup of Christmas characters are available; also widely on offer are matching family Christmas jumpers and onesies for cosy mornings opening gifts together.

DIY festive jumpers for boys

Christmas-time is usually stressful as it is, without adding the pressure of making your own ugly sweater; however, if you just can’t find something that catches your eye, you could go ahead and get your creative juices flowing. Arm yourself with a hot-glue gun, bedazzling wand, and handfuls of sparkly 3-dimensional bits and pieces; the sky is the limit for getting crafty. If you have the time and skill set, it’s time to show it off. For eco-conscious moms straying away from the lure of single-use Yuletime fast fashion, upcycling an old jumper or purchasing something previously loved is a great way to get ahead of the trend.

T-Rex and Co.

Jurassic World Dominion dominates screens this year, and boys’ Christmas jumpers too! T-Rexmas is not only trendy, but it’s loads of fun for boys, and you’ll find stores packed with options.

Fair Isle

Not necessarily the simple Scandi designs of their adult counterparts, Fair Isle styles take a twist in the form of rows of chubby Santas, Woodland's foxes and dancing reindeer. Colourful, eclectic, and on-trend.

Retro revival

Perhaps taking cues from the Stranger Things series, there’s a strong 80’s pop culture revival to current-day characters like those from Guardians of the Galaxy and more.
