37 Ugly Sweater Party Inspirations

From Haute Holiday Sweaters to Phenomenal Festive Lookbooks

— December 10, 2012 — Fashion
These ugly sweater party inspirations compile the crime de la creme of holiday disasters. Whether it was a gift from your aunt or something you picked up yourself but are now kind of regretting, ugly sweaters have a home among your friends' ugly sweater parties.

Tis the season to be rocking some major chunky knit sweaters. Since everyone's favorite casual holiday party is the ugly sweater party, overdone sweaters now come in a wide variety of styles. There is a fine line to be toed between an adorable Christmas sweater and an ugly holiday knit, but when that line gets crossed, rest assured you'll have an occasion to break it out again.

Draw inspiration from others that have boldly flaunted their rude Christmas greeting sweaters, bedazzled animal print sweaters for couples and many other holiday fashions that are probably better left at the back of your closet for the other 364 days of the year.
