They're the disgusting guilty pleasure of many: ugly Christmas sweaters! Okay, maybe "disgusting" is too harsh a word, but it's not that far off the mark. For some inexplicable reason, the idea of these crimes against fashion is appealing to many folks. While many make their own creations at home, others actually purchase these monstrosities (we swear, we're not judging!). What's worse, they even drag their children and pets into this world of despicable design!
All kidding aside, ugly Christmas sweaters, vests, and the like are hilarious to look at, and we wouldn't want you to feel deprived. So without further ado, have a look at our curated collection of ugly, awkward, and all-around hilarious Christmas sweaters.
