And this can largely be attributed to the fact that there is a dedicated national “Ugly Sweater Day” in the United States which takes place every third Friday in December. There is even an “Ugly Christmas Sweater” website specializing in all the weird, wacky, and tacky sweaters. 01:16 What is a Christmas Sweater? Different varieties exist, but to be classified as a Christmas sweater, it has to have certain characteristics. It needs to be a soft, often knitted garment, it should directly reference the holiday season in some way, and it doesn’t have to be a pullover as button-up holiday cardigan sweaters also exist. 03:20 Can Christmas Sweaters Be Stylish? The first thing to note is that there are actually high-quality Christmas sweaters available. Even though you’re going to have to wade through a sea of lower-quality garments, there are good ones out there. These range from really nice staples to really high-end luxury items. 07:11 Should You Wear A Christmas Sweater? The nutshell answer is yes, you can, but not just any holiday-themed sweater will do. And it really should go without saying that we don’t suggest you wear the purposefully tacky variety. If your wardrobe is heavily inspired by classic style, then Christmas sweaters do require a change of mindset. If you’re going to buy a Christmas sweater, don’t think of it as a short-term or throw-away garment. Buy one that you like, keep it, enjoy it, and look after it for years to come. Invest in one sweater of good quality, which will not only make looking after it even easier. But it’ll also become a favorite piece of clothing that you’ll look forward to pulling out and wearing over the holiday season. 08:18 Conclusion As we come to a close on our video about holiday sweaters, we want to throw the conversation open to you guys; where do you stand on Christmas sweaters?
