Ditch Ugly Sweaters. Shop These 14 Whimsical Knits for the Holidays
Designers redefine holiday knitwear with quirky prints and whimsical motifs.
With the festive season in full swing, we can’t help but to embrace classic Christmas traditions be it homemade cookies, festive decor, hot cocoa—you name it. When it comes to fashion, although we love to celebrate the holiday season in bedazzled ensembles and embellished pieces, we also crave cozy comfort. Ugly sweaters are a playful and kitschy way to approach this, but what about something a little more timeless and just as fun?
While ugly sweaters are known for their clashing colors, kitschy patterns, and festive imagery, this season we're trading ours for more whimsical knitwear. Keeping the same energy and joyful essence, designers seem to have found their holiday comfort in absurd patterns of farm animals, smiley faces, and equestrian ornaments that create a bizarre yet fashionable aesthetic. These are as cozy as the traditional ugly sweater but a little more glamorous. Luxurious and whimsical knits are perfect for the trendsetter trying to get into the festive spirit.
Keep scrolling to shop some alternatives to ugly sweaters in the form of these designer-approved, whimsical knits.
