It’s a fashion statement I can’t embrace: the ugly sweater. But I seem to be in the minority. The internet is full of websites devoted to this seasonal costume.
Tipsy Elves, for instance, has 155 of them for sale. There’s the Men’s Drinking Game Ugly Christmas Sweater, the women’s Gaudy Garland Ugly Christmas Cardigan Sweater, and the Men’s Rubber Ducky Ugly Christmas Sweater, all on sale for 30 percent off.
Tipsy Elves promises that if you buy one of its products, it’s “all you need to bring holiday joy to any occasion.”
UglyChristmasSweater.com also offers 30 percent off its inventory, which is a little raunchier but just as ugly as Tipsy Elves. For an example, I chose the Santa Peeing Beverage Sweater to prove the point; among the nine reviews for this item were comments like: “Everyone who saw my sweater was LOL,” and “Very useful and a little too much fun.” Additionally, you can pay in two interest-free installments of $24.14 each.
And finally, there are ugly sweaters to be had at Walmart, Temu, and Amazon. I didn’t visit any of these sites, as I am saturated with the ugliness that’s out there. And I’m not even referring to politics at all.
