The invitation to your next holiday get-together reads “Ugly Christmas sweater” under dress code. Your first instinct will probably be to run to a vintage store to pick up a second-hand knit emblazoned with a snowman, or Santa Claus with his reindeer Rudolph, but allow us to present alternative ways to tackle this style dilemma.
Featuring some of our favorite designer brands including Gucci, Prada, Marine Serre, Y/Project, Stella McCartney, Givenchy and more, our first Holiday 2018 editorial puts a high-fashion spin on the popular, festive attire. Shot at Vancouver‘s D/6 Bar & Lounge, the imagery showcases four “ugly” Christmas sweater outfits that are not so frumpy. Scroll down to see the chic ensembles that you, too, can recreate this party season.
While you’re here, check out our holiday gift guides for any last-minute shopping idea. From luxurious bath and shower products and affordable makeup and skincare, to on-trend dad sneakers and fashion items for the girl who has everything already, we’ve got you all covered.
