John Lewis just debuted this year's iconic Christmas ad, and there's one item of clothing that takes centre stage — this Fair Isle Wool Blend Knit Jumper, worn by the advert's lead character.

The hotly-anticipated ad tells the sentimental story of a woman frantically searching for a last-minute present for her sister. Searching for the perfect gift, we see her go on a nostalgic journey through her childhood, before returning to reality and reuniting with her sister to exchange Christmas gifts.

Throughout the advert, the main character is pictured wearing the retailer's best-selling knit, styled with a pair of classy faux leather trousers, longline brown coat, crisp white shirt and black loafers.

As a result, it's now running dangerously low in stock (although we're hoping it will get restocked), after hundreds of shoppers have flocked to purchase the festive knit. Luckily, it's also available in navy for those who didn't managed to snag the original.

The number one best-selling knit at John Lewis, enjoy a classic Fair Isle print that will never go out of fashion, complete with a round neckline, long sleeves and regular fit.

The "perfect chic winter purchase", as one shopper put it, this in-demand jumper is ideal for the festive season, and can be styled a whole host of ways depending on the occasion. And at just £49, it couldn't be more fairly priced.

If you want the exact look featured in the retailer's Christmas ad, you'll be glad to hear you can also shop the Faux Leather Straight Leg Trousers for just £39. Fully stocked and available in sizes 6 to 20, one shopper described them as "Reasonably priced, great length and fashionable".

This pair of straight leg faux leather trousers are a great staple to have in your winter wardrobe.

First things first, the shape is perfect. Designed with long sleeves and a classic round neckline, there's nothing not to love about this versatile jumper.

The print itself is subtle yet impactful and can easily be dressed up or down depending on the occasion. We love how John Lewis has styled it online, with a smart white shirt peeking through, wide leg trousers, classy trench and pumps.

The classic cut makes it easy to pair with existing pieces you already have in your wardrobe — whether it's a pair of your favourite jeans, pleated skirt or faux leather trousers — while the ribbed detailing around the hem, neckline and cuffs gives it added dimension, and brings the whole design together.

A great choice for those who prefer more of an understated look at Christmas, rather than something covered head-to-toe in sequins and glitter, it's also very comfortable to wear, made from a soft and warm wool blend that doesn't scratch.

Set to sell out fast, you'll want to add it to your shopping basket fast if you want a chance at wearing it this winter.
