The ugly sweater. You know the one. With heavy fabric and crazy patterns
that haven’t been seen since the House Party years. The one your grandfather wore back at the turn
of the century. Think about it. The ugly sweater has been a subtle staple of society
since the dawn of time. Bill Cosby, the unofficial messiah of the ugly sweater, has a legacy built around the off-putting designs on his winter wear.
It used to be cool to make fun of them and to stuff them in the
back of your closet when your grandmother was foolish enough to think that it
was something you’d actually want to
wear.
But guess what, those sweaters are actually cool. Just
picture it: A thick black and green sweater with geometric arrows going in
various directions and faux-leather accents. It sounds so terrible, but it
practically screams, “Wear me!”
Mastering the art of the ugly sweater can take time, but you
shouldn’t be afraid to try it. If you’re still feeling apprehensive, you could
try the look covered by a solid blazer. It allows you to step out of the
traditional and adds texture to any outfit. It can be safely said that if you wear one of these sweaters, you will not be overlooked.
