7 Ugly Sweaters For Your Ugly Sweater Collection
Winter is here, somewhere in the world, which is as good of an excuse as any to jump aboard the ugly sweater train to ugly sweater town.
Every wardrobe deserves its own ugly sweater collection, and we’re here to make your dreams come true was some seriously ugly sweaters. Like them or hate them, the ugly sweater is an old tradition kept alive by our Grandmas – and it’s not going away any time soon.
1. The Zebra Print
Have you ever wanted to look like a fuzzy African horse? Well, now you can!
Combining animal prints and ugly sweaters is an excellent combo that’ll keep that safari vibe vibin’ all the way into the dead of winter – dead ass. Top it off with some khaki pants, or keep it tucked into some overalls, and you’re sure to be the coolest zebra out on the streets of suburbia.

2. The Sweater Dress…Vest
So you’re off to play tennis in the middle of winter, and you need to look cute and sporty doing it – but it’s freezing outside.
Well, this alteration on the popular sweater dress is here to cure all your woes for you. A fresh, sport-friendly cut means you can be as active as you like, while the crochet knit over it will keep you snug and warm off-court.
And everyone knows that when it comes to ugly sweaters, the brighter the colours, the better.

3. The Balloon Sleeve Sweater
Ugly sweaters are all about being ugly in excess – so lets put a little excess in the sleeves.
Balloon sleeve sweaters are the ultimate in cosy and oversized. And since every girl wants to look like they’ve just stolen their partner’s giant sweater for their selves, this jumper is just perfect. Wear it with some black jeans to balance out the crazy of your sweater, or mix it with some other prints and colours if you feel like bringing the ugly in all areas of your outfit.

4. Grandma’s Sweater Dress
You know those classic sweaters your Nana would wear? They always seem to find their way out around Christmas time, in bright colours and geo-granny prints.
Well, it’s about time we take it to the next level. By wearing one of those ugly sweaters as an ugly sweater dress.
It’s cute, it’s cosy and best of all; ugly.

5. The Crochet Sweater
Bringing back even more of Grandma’s hobbies, we’re getting back into crochet. These weird, chunky knits are just too ugly to pass up.
These bright, bold squares might be a little too holey to keep you completely warm, but hey, we all make sacrifices for the sake of fashion. There isn’t much that could keep us from this ugly gem of a sweater, in all it’s oversized, chunky glory.

6. The Fire Sweater
It’s fire.
Also, the fire trend is so overdone and overhyped we couldn’t help but include it. Since wearing ugly sweaters is all about enjoying the irony that fashion is a lie – well, this sort of sweater is perfect for making an example of things.
While Instagram girls wear flame-emblazoned everything as they over-hype themselves, you can do the same – and look cozy and comfortable while you’re at it.

7. Designer Ugly
Because we cannot reiterate enough – fashion is a lie. You can spend a little on something you really love or blow big bucks on something infinitely ugly.
Ralph Lauren has been proving for yonks that you don’t have to design fashionable clothes in order to make it in the fashion industry. You can literally pull ideas from your Grandma’s Christmas collection and up-market them for a few hundred bucks.
But hey – maybe wearing ugly clothes with a designer label is some giant industry joke we haven’t gotten quite yet.
