knitters . our sweaters put all other ugly christmas sweaters to shame well by being shameless . we know you ll find a style that really jingles your bells . how did this whole ugly christmas sweater trend get started it all began in the eighties a decade when many fashion disasters were born . it was a time of neon colors parachute pants cutesy fair isle sweaters and far too much hair spray . against this backdrop of hideous apparel festive holiday sweaters in garish hues with excessive embellishment hardly raised an eyebrow . there were some tv show and movie characters who wore tacky sweaters that were a bit over the top . but it took a couple of decades before the ugly christmas sweater concept faded to an object of nostalgia primed for reincarnation as a tongue in cheek trend . in the early 2000s a couple of canadian blokes revived the ugly christmas sweater as a fashion statement in its own right . they even organized an entire party around the concept . the initial intent was to simply gather with a few friends and enjoy some eggnog and relaxed merrymaking . yet today this event has swollen to oversized proportions with more than 1000 attendees gathering annually in the commodore ballroom in vancouver . while canada may have gotten its mittens on the idea first the ugly christmas sweater party soon caught on from the u.s. to the u.k. why has this type of party become so popular it s an invitation to let loose and forget about keeping up appearances . requiring a dress code of ugly christmas sweaters ensures that only guests with a reasonably good sense of humor will show up to party . anyone who won t play along is not cool enough for christmas . having everyone look ridiculous also levels the playing field for the socially awkward . when everyone dresses like a tasteless loser there s nothing left to lose since one s dignity has already gone out the window . of course that doesn t put an end to one upmanship . attendees still attempt to outdo one another in finding the most outrageously ugly christmas sweater to wear . having people avert their eyes in horror is considered a badge of honor and winning the ugly christmas sweater contest is the highlight of the evening . inviting people to wear an ugly christmas sweater also leaves a lot of room for interpretation and creativity . what one person might find unacceptably hideous another might find only mildly atrocious . hunting for and purchasing just the right sweater increases pre party anticipation and the designs make great conversation starters . talking about the merits of a tasteless santa sweater vs. a graphically shocking gnome sweater is much more entertaining that chatting about the weather . when ugly christmas sweater parties first started out more than a decade ago no one realized that these events would become the huge hit they are today . most people thought the fad would melt away like an icicle in the sun . the tipsy elves knew better . that s why we ve been coming up with hundreds of different designs and selecting the very cream of the crop to appear in our exclusive tacky christmas sweater collection for your enjoyment . our designs range from family friendly ugly christmas sweaters to adult themed inappropriate christmas sweaters . be sure to look twice because what might appear to be a classic fair isle reindeer pattern could actually be rated i for inappropriate . plenty of time honored holiday characters also make an appearance on our sweaters from santa claus in a number of hilariously distressing situations to snowmen sporting an extra carrot . other completely off the wall figures include an amorous yeti a highly charged cat and a t rex going on a wrapping paper ripping spree . there are even classic santa and elf sweaters if you want to dress up like the tipsy elves crew . of course we ve also got a hanukkah sweater to round out the winter season . grab the eye wash because things are about to get even better . ugly
