The origins of Christmas jumpers can be traced back to the 1980s in the UK.
In 1984, Mark Henderson, a Salvation Army volunteer, had the brilliant idea to encourage people to wear Christmas jumpers to raise funds for the charity.
The idea caught on like wildfire, and by the early 2000s, Christmas Jumper Day had become a nationwide tradition.
The beauty of Christmas jumpers lies in their boundless creativity and absurdity.
From classic reindeer sweaters to quirky elf costumes and even illuminated masterpieces, there are no limits to the festive fashion statement you can make.
Some jumpers feature intricate designs, while others have hilarious slogans that will make you chuckle.
