Cute Ugly Christmas Sweater Outfit Ideas
Outfit #1
A bold garland sweater such as this one is a statement piece on its own. Therefore, it is important to let the sweater speak for itself.
I paired it with some high-rise black jeans and adorable one-strap gold heels. The gold hue of the shoes matches so well with the adorable gold elements of the sweater.
There was no way I would not accessorize this look with some funky earrings. These red ornament-style earrings mesh well with the entire look and they bring out the red ornaments attached to the sweater.
Outfit #2
Okay, I know what you are going to say. What is ugly about this sweater? The answer is: nothing! But, that doesn’t mean that you couldn’t happily wear it to a Christmas party and totally get away with it.
So, for my cute and not-so-ugly Christmas sweater outfit, I paired it with these white bell-bottoms and glittery red heels. The heels match so elegantly with the snowman’s scarf and will stand out from the white jeans.
To top it all off, I added this festive-looking scrunchie.
Outfit #3
The gorgeous sweater dress speaks for itself. I think this cute outfit is an easy win at any ugly Christmas sweater party and you cannot tell me these earrings do not deserve a prize of their own!
I styled this simple look with black tights and gorgeous suede thigh-high boots.
Outfit #4
This look is sure to leave your comedic friends chuckling and your fashionable friends in awe.
I styled this “chillin’ with my snowmies” sweater with this berry miniskirt and black belt. This sweater will look best slightly tucked into the front of the skirt.
Gorgeous black platforms booties are a must. It was a great way to make this ugly Christmas sweater outfit a little more chic.
Outfit #5
This light-up sweater is sure to keep heads turning! It calls for a laid-back look, so I paired it with some black leggings.
Simple, white platform sneakers and a gold chain polish this outfit flawlessly. You can take off or add on as many accessories as you would like, but to me, this was the perfect amount to compliment the sweater without taking away any of its funky elements.
