Why now is the perfect time
Save the Children’s Christmas Jumper Day is on Thursday 11 December 2025. It’s the easiest excuse to wear something joyfully ridiculous while raising money for a great cause. Sign up with your workplace, school or friend group, get the date in the diary, remind everyone to wear their jumpers, and donate what you can. They even send handy resources like posters and simple games to make the day effortless.
Four Tokyo Tiger picks I love
Santa’s Holiday Chaos: Gingerbread Trouble
This one cracked me up. It’s pure festive mayhem with gingerbread drama all over. My husband is a massive Jaws fan, so the tongue-in-cheek chaos vibe is exactly his thing for Christmas Jumper Day and beyond.
Cat Under the Moon
Moody night-sky energy with a cosy, super-soft feel. It’s unisex and runs from XS to 5XL, so it’s easy to outfit the whole family or a team at work. Machine-washable too, which is a win in December.
Christmas Capybara
Wholesome, silly and surprisingly wearable. The capybara trend has made it into knitwear, and I’m not mad about it. Same comfy fit and size range, so it’s a crowd-pleaser for group photos.
Christmas Frog
For the person who wants maximum festive personality. It’s bright, funny and made for office contests or school gates selfies. Easy care, soft handle, and that XS to 5XL range again.
How to make the most of Christmas Jumper Day
Plan a mini photoshoot at work or school and award fun prizes like Most Festive, Best Animal Theme or Best Couple/Besties Combo

Quick sizing and care notes
Tokyo Tiger’s ugly cardigans are unisex, available from XS to 5XL, and designed to be super soft with easy machine-wash care. If you like an oversized look, consider sizing up for extra slouch.
If you’re taking part in Christmas Jumper Day this year, pick something that makes you grin the moment you put it on. These ugly cardigan sweaters are silly in the best possible way, they photograph brilliantly, and they’re comfy enough to wear all season.
