Mindful Mintie Says "Buy your Christmas Jumper from a 2nd Hand Store"

Love them or hate them they are here to stay I think - Christmas jumpers. Whether you are looking for that understated neat Nordic style or an all out gaudy number there are a few ways to make your Christmas jumper wearing more eco this year. 

Wear What you Have

First and probably the most obvious is to use and wear what you already have - let's face it, it's in the cupboard for 11 months of the year so most people won’t even remember you wearing it last year! So have a root around your cupboards to find the most gaudy bad taste item you have and wear what's already there. If you are looking for a change up - swap your Christmas jumper with a pal or other family member.

Buy 2nd Hand Online

We’ve found a couple of gems on depop too which is a great place to buy and sell second hand clothing and has heaps and heaps of Christmas jumpers on offer. Many charity shops are now selling online - try Oxfam or Thrift

If you are looking for something a bit more vintage or retro head over to Beyond Retro as they have a heap of super stylish jerseys, jerkins and jumpers full of Christmas spirit just for you. 

Of course eBay and Facebook marketplace are good options for buying second hand.
