Fair Isle or full novelty? If you need something for Christmas Day with the family, a Nordic or Fair Isle knit (like the Xact and westAce picks above) looks festive but still respectable. For the office party, go for a print or slogan that gets a laugh.
Check the fit. Novelty knits are usually cut fairly slim. If you're between sizes, or plan to wear a shirt underneath, go up one.
