I'm a fashion writer and this FatFace cardigan is the perfect balance of practical and stylish

ok.co.uk:

A festive jumper doesn't always have to scream 'Deck The Halls', with all the bells, whistles, sparkles and colour of a Christmas tree.

If you're looking for a knit that is practical, pretty and subtly festive, I've got just the thing: FatFace's Ivory Haisley Pattern Cardigan.

Practical, warm and, of course, pretty, the Haisley Pattern jumper costs £69.50 and is crafted from wool and recycled polyester, making it unbelievably toasty - I say that as someone currently wearing the exact item and attesting to its cosiness in real time.

Coming in sizes 6 to 24, the cardigan has a relatively straight fit body that's not too fitted - you can easily fit a long sleeved top underneath.
