It's kitschy, colorful, sometimes downright ridiculous… and that's exactly why we love it. The ugly Christmas sweater has become a holiday must.
Where does the trend come from?
Long given by a well-meaning grandma and worn reluctantly, the patterned Christmas sweater has become a proud wink. People now throw parties where the "ugliest" sweater wins, and the trend has spread far and wide: family dinners, office parties, nights out with friends, it makes everyone smile.
How to choose your ugly Christmas sweater
- Go for humor: the quirkier the design, the bigger the laughs.
- Think comfort: you'll wear it all evening. A crew-neck sweatshirt is nicer than an itchy knit.
- Get the right size: for a more relaxed look, size up.
Our 3D-print ugly Christmas sweater ticks every box: vivid all-over print, unisex fit and sizes from XS to 6XL. Prefer a more classic style? The matching knit Christmas sweater comes in sizes for the whole family.
Throwing an ugly sweater party
- Announce the theme in the invitation, with a mandatory dress code.
- Keep accessories on hand for anyone who forgets: Santa hats and reindeer antler headbands.
- Hold a vote for the ugliest sweater, with a small prize for the winner.
- Take a group photo by the tree: that's the one that will go around social media.
