There is nothing as stressful as the pre-Christmas rush,<\/a> which is why copious amounts of people change location during the Yuletide season and jet off for a holiday before things get overwhelming.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Zara\u00a0<\/a>and Mike Tindall<\/a> did just that as they headed to Austria for a family ski trip.<\/a> Taking to Instagram on 21 December, former England rugby star Mike shared a video from the trip which saw him and Zara take to the slopes alongside their children, as well as Zara’s brother Peter Phillips,<\/a> his fianc\u00e9e, Harriet Sperling<\/a>, and his daughters.\u00a0<\/p>\n

This is a royal ‘debut’ for Harriet, who has accompanied her fianc\u00e9 to various royal engagements 2025, including Ascot back in June<\/a>, but this is the first time she appears to have taken a holiday with her future in-laws. In the joyful group picture that Mike shared online, his eldest daughter Mia Tindall, 11,<\/a> and his middle child, Lena Tindall, seven,\u00a0<\/a>can be seen, alongside Peter’s eldest daughter,\u00a0Savannah<\/a> Phillips, 15. Zara and Mike’s son, Lucas, four,\u00a0<\/a>and Peter’s 13-year-old Isla<\/a>, his second daughter with his ex-wife, Autumn Phillips<\/a>, were not in the snap.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Harriet wore ‘The Alpine Cardigan’ by Wiggy Kit<\/p>\n

\n

Harriet looked in great spirits at the back of the group setting, posing next to Peter. As a fashion editor who has been writing about royal style for over eight years, I immediately noted her fabulous festive cardigan, which came from the designer brand Wiggy Kit.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Known as the aptly named ‘Alpine Knit’<\/a>, the sumptuous cardigan is made from pure Scottish lambswool. Chunky in structure, it featured a bold Fair Isle-inspired pattern in blue, yellow, and green at the neckline, and boasted a slightly cropped shape and voluminous sleeves, with prominent, deep cuffs, and a button-down placket. I would categorise this as a subtle take on the mighty Christmas jumper, which dominates festive fashion in December. It’s a non-kitsch take on the sometimes garish trend.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

A Fair Isle print adds some seasonal joy into your wardrobe<\/p>\n

\n

“A classic Fair Isle knit will channel some seasonal joy into your wardrobe, but in an understated and chic way rather than something a little more overly festive or novelty,” fashion stylist Matilda Stanley<\/a> tells HELLO!.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Fair Isle jumpers can be teamed with jeans and skirts<\/p>\n

\n

Giving tips on how to style a knit like Harriet’s, the style expert adds: “Patterned cosy jumpers in warm neutral tones will look gorgeous with your favourite jeans, but can also be used to add a relaxed weekend-ready spin to a sparkly skirt or some sequin trousers.”\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Colin Firth’s character of Mark Darcy wore a Christmas jumper in Bridget Jones Diary<\/p>\n

\n

The trend for outrageous Christmas jumpers was popularised in the ’80s, and regained definite popularity in the early ’00s thanks to the film, Bridget Jones’s Diary<\/em>, when Colin Firth’s character, Mark Darcy, memorably wore his moose-emblazoned number to a festive party, much to Bridget’s dismay. Since then, many would say that they have become acutely garish, designed in crazy colours and jarring prints. If you find the tradition a little overwhelming, Harriet’s take on the trend is a safe (and chic) middle ground.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
