How to Choose a Christmas Sweater
- Match the event: go bold with an ugly sweater for themed parties, and choose a subtle snowflake knit for work, church or dinner with family.
- Think beyond December: snowflake and reindeer patterns look seasonal through January, so you get more wear than with a Santa design.
- Check the size range: several of these styles go up to 3XL. If you like a slouchy, oversized fit, consider sizing up.
- Plan your layers: cardigans and hoodies are easy to take off indoors, while crewnecks look best on their own or over a collared shirt.
- Coordinate for photos: pick sweaters in the same color family, such as red and green, so the whole family looks festive together.
