Christmas T-Shirts

Ok, so you might be thinking that I’ve lost the plot, but hear me out. Why would you be wearing a t-shirt in December? It’s cold! That may be so, but if you work in retail, or a similar job where you’re constantly on the go and getting hot and sweaty whether it’s August or December, then Christmas T-Shirts will start to make a lot more sense to you.

One of the retail companies I worked for had a couple of ‘Christmas Jumper’ days in the lead up to Christmas to raise money for charity. This sounds great, but it filled me with dread! As well as it being a physical job where I was on my feet constantly and got very hot, I was experiencing symptoms that I now know to be caused my PoTS. One of the triggers for my PoTS is the heat. So you can imagine that the idea of Christmas Jumper Day was not very appealing to me. That is, until I found myself in Primark one day.

Primark sell Christmas t-shirts! As soon as I saw them, I knew my worries about Christmas Jumper Day were over! Primary changes their stock every year, so I thought I would share with you the Christmas t-shirts I got a couple of years ago, to give you an idea of how you can style them to take the stress of overheating out of Christmas Jumper Day! This year, I’ve seen some Christmas t-shirts on New Look’s website too.

I’ve loaned both t-shirts to my Mum, who is a classroom teacher for her Christmas Jumper Day, as she gets very hot teaching Early Years.

The first way I’ve styled a Christmas t-shirt is one that I wore a lot during my days in retail, with both the t-shirts I’m showing you. This outfit consists of black boots and leggings, a black skirt, my elf style Christmas t-shirt and a black cardigan.

When I wore this to work, I had black shoes (seen in the next outfit) rather than boots. Boots were just too hot for me to work in, but I wanted you to be able to see how the boots look. The beauty of a Christmas t-shirt is that you can wear a cardigan while you’re cold and when you warm up, you can take it off. An alternative would be to wear a Christmas jumper over your Christmas t-shirt.

My second way to style a Christmas t-shirt may not be suitable for a work environment, but it’s perfect for a relaxed social event. Here, I’ve chosen a comfortable pair of shoes, a pair of jeans and my faux leather jacket.

Save The Children’s Christmas Jumper Day is on Friday 16th December.

Have you considered a Christmas t-shirt instead of a jumper? Which of these two t-shirts do you prefer?
