The Nordic Knit
With strong similarities to Fair Isle, Nordic knits originate from the Scandinavian nations of Sweden, Denmark and Norway.
Like their Scottish counterpart, these knits feature ornate patterns and colourful threads, depicting key elements of winter life in the frozen north. Reindeer, elk, trees and snowflakes are amongst the most popular motifs.
Also warm and durable, Nordic knits are playful cold-weather statements that are particularly favoured around Christmas, due to their festive cheer. This season, check out Ralph Lauren, ASOS, Topman and John Lewis for some great options.
The Yuletide jumper has never looked so cool.

The Roll Neck Knit
Polo neck, turtle neck, call it what you will, the roll neck is in the midst of a sartorial revival. With its origins stemming from the fishing communities of northern Europe, the roll neck first became popular with left-wing student communities in the 1930s, and reached a peak in popularity in the 1960s and 1970s, when it represented the ultimate rebellion against the conformist shirt and tie.
