There comes a time every December when you must do battle in the arena of questionable knitwear. Whether it’s your office’s Ugly Sweater Contest or your family’s “Who Wore It Worst” dinner party, you’re faced with itchy sweaters featuring confused-looking reindeer and blinking LED lights that threaten to set your hair on fire. The pressure is real: you want a sweater bad enough to be hilarious, but not so bad that the moths refuse to nest in it.
Once you’ve decided on the perfect monstrosity, you’ll endure smirks, giggles, and possibly a few flash-induced seizures. But hey, it’s worth it when you win the Most Hideous Holiday Couture Award. Nothing says “holiday cheer” like polyester threads and jingle bells sewn near the armpits.
