# Sweater-Inspired Shoe Collections Converse's Sweater Pack Was Inspired by Ugly Holiday Sweaters By Ell Smith | Published 2020-11-04 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/converses-sweater-pack References: [hypebae](https://hypebae.com/2020/11/converse-christmas-holiday-sweater-pack-chuck-70-sneakers-release-ash-stone-egret-obsidian-black) & [converse](https://www.converse.com/shop/p/holiday-sweater-chuck-70-unisex-high-top-shoe/169352MP.html) [Converse's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/converse-chucks-in-love) 'Sweater Pack' collection is celebrating the holiday season in style, offering unique and limited-edition shoes that boast classic holiday motifs. The holidays are going to look a little different this year, but that's not stopping brands like Converse from spreading joy with seasonal releases. This line serves as a perfect example of that, as it's a stylish and cheery line that drew its inspiration from the "ugly sweater" holiday trend. The shoes feature bold, eye-catching and somewhat tacky aesthetic that's intentionally playful and carefree. One of the standouts include the Converse [Chuck 70](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/upcycled-flannel-chuck-70) hightop that's covered in a repeating graphic of trees and snowflakes. Another iteration features a black shoe with white snowflakes throughout.
