It’s the holiday season, so you have probably heard of the ugly Christmas sweater. The trend is huge and it’s everywhere, but ugly Christmas sweaters are not the only hideous holiday trend.

In fact, for a lot of people, wearing ugly Christmas sweaters on Christmas or having an ugly Christmas sweater party has become an important tradition.

Many people choose to decorate their own ugly sweaters; they turn their ugly sweaters into ugly Christmas sweaters.

A lot of people choose to do joint or matching Christmas sweaters. In fact, Walmart sells conjoined Christmas sweaters.

DIY Christmas sweaters, shoes, jackets and more have also become a widespread trend.

Try and spice up your plain cardigan by covering it with garland and candy canes or change your plain black heels into fun, ugly Christmas heels by covering them in garland, bows, and old Christmas ornaments.

Another option is to tape a lot of tiny (wrapped up) candy canes onto an old sweater or jacket and hand them out at a Christmas party or holiday event.

The Christmas sweater trend started in Vancouver, Canada in 2002, when two men had an idea to have one of the first ugly Christmas sweater party, according to uglychristmassweater.com.

From then on, the ugly Christmas sweater became widely popular.

However, these ghastly Christmas sweaters are not the only ugly Christmas apparel.

There is so much more grotesque Christmas apparel to choose from now.  

There are ugly Christmas suits, scarves, dresses, shoes, blazers, hats, and even outfits for pets.

Instead of an ugly Christmas sweater, try wearing an ugly Christmas suit with an ugly Christmas scarf. A lot of ugly Christmas scarves are sold on Etsy and you can find the Christmas suits on Shinesty, or even local at Kohls.

Along with suits and scarves, are ugly Christmas dresses. While not all are ugly, they are perfect to wear to a holiday party.

Even ugly Christmas shoes have become a huge trend at holiday parties and family Christmas get-togethers.

Even Nike is making an ugly Christmas sweater shoe. Nike decided to release an ugly Christmas sweater themed Nike SB Dunk High shoe.

The Christmas themed Nike’s are not the only interesting Christmas shoe. Crocs came out with several ugly Christmas designs on clogs.

Ugly Christmas sweaters for pets have also become widely popular.

Of course, Christmas sweaters are not the only item of clothing made for pets. On both Petco and Etsy you can find hats, shoes, and outfits for animals.

Make sure to wear your favorite hideous holiday sweater on December 12, 2017 for the Aevidum spirit week.
