Personally, I love mine. BUT I do try and buy second-hand where possible so I'm not creating extra waste. People tend to only wear them a few times so they're usually in excellent condition. Glitzier, sillier and more embarrassing the better - in my opinion.
We buy one or wear the ones we bought last time for our Rock Choir Christmas dinner. All of the 150 or so who attend the dinner do. I think it’s good fun and doing no harm. Some of the choir knit their own. It’s like Christmas decorations some people put them up some don’t some go mad and put them everywhere. Do as you like. I know this much I’m not going to change what goes on in the world by not wearing one.
I have one Christmas jumper which I have worn every Christmas for the last 4/5 years. Nor this year tho, I'm going to treat myself to a new sparkly but not Christmas jumper.
Not something we've ever thought of wearing but this year, DH has bought a Christmas t-shirt with Santa on. Extremely out of character so I bought some fleece PJs with Rudolf on. Our children usually turn up on Christmas day with festive jumpers, I like to see them.
Just bought myself a glittery one for £15 in Primark. Got Xmas parties to go to and away for Christmas so wanted to add a bit of sparkle rather than be boring. What if it is naff? It's FUN! Such a miserable time of year otherwise if we don't brighten and lighten up.
I have four, some bought in charity shops. No need to pay a fortune for something that's worn so little. I saw a rail of children's ones in my local charity shop the other day, so grab a bargain then donate back when the child grows out of it.
I have 3 with beagles on (multiple beagle owner) and one with a Christmas tree and bells. My work entails visiting schools so I fit right in during the weeks towards Christmas - other people wear theirs in the office where I am based so they do get used - and treated carefully so they will last! DH has a couple too, washed and dried carefully they last for years.
i run a charity shop and adult and childrens jumpers are snapped up straight away. i put a lot of more discreet sparkly jumpers out and a mix of in your face jumpers. i may think about wearing one i have with a penguin on with a santa hat nearer christmas to cheer the shoppers up a bit
Winter drags on, frivolities that brighten it up for people are good.
Christmas clothing is no more ethical or unethical than other clothing: there are good and bad/ sustainable and unsustainable choices just like any other kinds of jumpers.
I think they are naff but having said that i bought one last year to wear for a girly lunch. Its black with a sparkly xmas tree on the front onky bearing the legend All the Jingle Ladies.
