Whether for your tacky family Christmas photo, or for the big holiday spoof party this Friday, I’m sure you’ll be guilty of sporting an ugly Christmas sweater this season. 

But hey, if we’re going to sacrifice a night of chicness, let’s do it right!

 

The Original

The classic, straight-up-ugly pullover knit sweater

 

The Vest

A twist on the classic: snowmen, trees, stockings…the more the merrier.

 

The Cardigan

Layering is in, right? Pair your cardigan with a holiday turtleneck.

The DIY

Channel your inner van Gogh, ladies; it’s all about the collegiate budget for this one.

 

Don’t know where to begin your search?

  • Grandma always loves a call from her favorite grandchild and would be more than willing to share with you.
  • Grab your girlfriends and head to the nearest Goodwill! The search is half the fun.
  • Time crunch? Peruse the web: eBay, Etsy, and www.uglychristmassweaterparty.com have thousands to choose from.
  • Seaview Outfitters uptown has a stock of sweaters for only $10 each
