Why An Ugly Sweater???

Dreading the annual group “Ugly Sweater” photo your mom makes a fuss about every year? There will never be enough egg nog in the world to get you to enjoy it. Between the over-the-top knitted reindeer that protrudes off of your body like a human pop-up book or the fact that the sweaters seem to get itchier with every wear, it’s hard to find your holiday cheer. If there is any way to make it, not only bearable but more fire, you’d take it in an instant. Turn the tradition upside down with a fire sweater that breaks the norm.

Supreme Fuck Sweater

Maybe the annual ugly sweater photo that your mom forces you to participate in isn’t your favorite holiday tradition. You show your lack of enthusiasm in your face but your family always forces you to smile and look as though you’re full of glee. If only there were another way to show off how you actually feel, without displaying it through social cues? Thanks to Supreme’s “Fuck” sweater, people will know just how much you loathe this Ugly Sweater tradition. Completed in classic knitted style, the Fuck Sweater stays on-trend with your classic holiday look. And the black colorway not only matches with anything you pair it with, but it will also match your inner feelings towards this holiday festivity.

Supreme x Nike Swoosh Sweater

If you don’t find yourself being a holiday Grinch and want to let your family know how seriously you take this tradition, get this Supreme Nike Swoosh sweater. As a brand, Nike never half-asses anything, and that resonates with your personal brand. You put your best foot forward with everything, you floss every day, you’ve never missed a day of school since Pre-K, and you’ve been beating your personal best time on the treadmill with every gym visit. You don’t know what it means to do something with no care and that carries into the yearly Ugly Sweater photo. You get your hair cut, you iron your jeans, and you put on this sweater to let everyone there know, “You see the Swoosh on my chest, that means I’m here to show out and demand respect.”

Fear Of God Essentials Knit Sweater

Let’s be honest, you’re the person that MAKES the photo, and by make, we mean you’re really the only person that everyone looks at. You are as essential as they come, so why not carry that essential-ness on your back (well really on your chest)? Fear Of God made this ESSENTIALS knitted sweater just for you. And do you know why? Because dammit, you ARE the UGLY SWEATER TRADITION.

Palace x Ralph Lauren Skate Polo Bear Sweater

You’ve been known to be the “oddball” of the family, being hip to British style ever since discovering 80s punk in middle school. Today, you’ve surpassed your days of spiked hair and tartan plaid pants, but every part of you still, very much so, is punk. That makes your appreciation for a brand like Palace to be above and beyond since the streetwear label is all about breaking the mold. Their 2018 collaboration with Ralph Lauren takes the unexpected and makes it do an ollie on a skateboard. Their partnership birthed RL’s knitted sweater and made their Polo Bear mascot do a skateboard trick. If you wear this sweater around your family, no one will understand it, but that’s the point and that’s what makes you, you. Make them expect the unexpected.

adidas Yeezy Boost 380 Alien

Now, what if, and just hear us out, you wore a sweater, not on your back, but on your feet?! Sweaters might not be your thing and that’s ok! Not everyone’s skin is comfortable wearing knitted yarn on their upper body. But that doesn’t mean you have to miss out this year, sneakers are knitted too! And what better pair of knitted sneakers that release almost weekly than a pair of Yeezys? This pair, in particular, holds characteristics similar to your casual ugly sweater, holding patchy patterns weaved on the upper. These sneakers are simultaneously thermal and breathable, making your feet the wearers of the best sweater ever.
