They are funny, colorful, witty: let’s talk about christmas sweaters, an Anglo-Saxon tradition that also took hold in Italy several years ago. In fact, what could be better than a warm themed wool sweater to spend the long days with the family, between the table and card games? You don’t have to wait for Christmas, however, to pull out the reindeer or gingerbread man sweater. Indeed, today, Friday December 9this the perfect day to use or buy it: today is on christmas jumper dayan anniversary that was born for an accurate charity initiative.
Christmas sweaters, from “anti-fashion” to must-have
The history of sweaters, very popular today, is a fascinating case of aesthetic inversion: until a few years ago they were considered “the ugly gift you get from your aunt” and today they invade Instagram. Not very chic and sometimes decidedly tacky in their colors and designs, Christmas Jumpers populate the imagination of Christmas comedies of the 80s and 90s. But where do they come from? For some experts, they are an evolution of thick Norwegian wool sweaters, with the typical two-tone geometric decorations. Their popularity derives from the ski resorts that offered them as high-altitude souvenirs, but especially from American TV Christmas specials in the 1950s, where stars wore them instead of the classic suit. Sure, they’ve remained just as clumsy and flashy as before, but it’s precisely their “strangeness” that makes them so recognizable and desirable: thanks to social media, which has spread them to all corners of the globe. Gradually they established themselves among influencers and stars and today they are a viral must have, so much so that often even the big names in high fashion launch their own version.
Which is christmas jumper day
A whole day is devoted to Christmas sweaters (December 9, 2022), but fashion has nothing to do with it. Christmas Jumper Day was launched ten years ago in the UK by the humanitarian organization save the children🇧🇷 The date varies from year to year in the first days of December: the objective is to raise donations to help needy children around the world. The war in Ukraine and the long post-Covid crisis have exacerbated the precarious situation of thousands of children who face the consequences of poverty on a daily basis, unable to go to school and think of gifts under the tree like their peers in other countries around the world. How to join the initiative? Simple: sharing a photo with the funniest Christmas sweater you have in your drawer on social media with the hashtag #ChristmasJumperDay and making a donation. This year’s initiative has an exceptional testimony: Francesca Michelinfresh from the X Factor success, who chose a sweater created by OVS extension in collaboration with Save The Children.
