Tis The Season… For Ugly Sweaters!

my-fake-ugly-sweater.jpgWhen I started getting emails like this one…

Do you know where I could purchase that Santa Sweater featured in this article? I know its from a year ago, but I would love to be able to find one for myself. Thanks. –Connor

…I realized it was time to break out this year’s Ugly Sweater candidates!

By the way, the ugly sweater you see me wearing in that article was created using the “make your own ugly sweater” link at the bottom of that article. Hence, the sweater doesn’t actually exist. Unfortunately, that link isn’t working any longer either. So that sweater is truly a classic… a one-of-a-kind heirloom. But this one is a close runner-up.

Perhaps the following Ugly Sweater ideas will be helpful when you’re searching for your very own Ugly Sweater to wear to parties this year.

Word to the wise… Ugly sweaters are one thing. You just don’t want to become known as “Mr. Office Party Over Hugger”, as described by Bud Light’s Real Men of Genius:

Seasonal Sweater Fun

Yep, Ugly Sweater season is upon us.

That means now is the time to start picking out your very best (or would that be worst?) ugly sweater

If you haven’t decided which are your ugliest sweaters for this holiday season yet, or you just can find the “right” one… consider the sweaters below. They’re all available online.

 

Where To Buy Ugly Sweaters

I realize that buying an Ugly Sweater — on purpose — is not exactly the point to this seasonal tradition.

After all, Ugly Sweater contests were founded on the idea that everyone has at least one outrageously grotesque garment in their closet — not necessarily by choice. More than likely, that Ugly Sweater was purchased just for you… Or, quite possibly, handed down to you.

But hey, if you haven’t been graced with an Ugly Sweater (naturally) yet, then you just might be interested in buying a really fun one for this year’s festivities. Right? That, or you might be interested in starting the tradition among your own friends & family by buying someone else a really Ugly Sweater.

Well… some of those were interesting alright. And in just the right circumstances, many of the above sweaters could probably be considered “classy”. Just the same… if you were to wear any of them to an Ugly Sweater party, you would certainly fit right in.
