I think a lot of holiday sweaters started off just as simple fun and not taking things very seriously, as torontogirl says. And yes, perhaps grandma because grandma sometimes dresses to be fun for the grandchildren--not ironic, but fun! And there is a craft-related aspect, for creating items with embroidery and applique's and things, that I admire.<br />I mean, you can find a lot of bad graphic T-shirts out there too, and find many trends from past decades to make fun of. And many current trends will be so over 10 years from now.<br />That's one reason why for themed parties I much prefer either an era theme, or book theme, or anything that is not specifically trying to tout one's superior taste in <u>fashion</u>, of all things, by&nbsp;mocking what&nbsp;you would <u>not</u> wear. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/worn-at-a-party#post-1408500 Tue, 09 Dec 2014 21:27:05 +0000 Helena 1408500@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have to admit, I don't wear really anything Christmas-themed, since I, for not particular reason, wore a deep green sweater one December and someone commented on how "festive" I looked :S</p> <p>That said - I absolutely HEART anyone who wears Christmas sweaters, pins, earrings, or any of that other stuff. Good for them for being fun and festive and perhaps a kid at heart! Who wants to be too cool for Christmas fun?? Not me :D</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/worn-at-a-party#post-1408333 Tue, 09 Dec 2014 17:18:08 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 1408333@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Some 'ugly' Christmas sweaters are quite charming, in an OTT way. Before the whole ugly Christmas sweater thing happened, I just thought of them as mom/grandma sweaters, since that's who I saw wearing them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/worn-at-a-party#post-1408239 Tue, 09 Dec 2014 15:15:23 +0000 crutcher 1408239@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Bless their hearts...I hope no one said anything to the wiser...I am not sure when ugly Christmas sweaters began but there are plenty of times that I wish they would go back to where they came from...<br />Some of them are not so bad but some of them I have seen are just pure awful... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/worn-at-a-party#post-1408023 Tue, 09 Dec 2014 05:10:19 +0000 Neel 1408023@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ugly is in the eyes of the beholder ;)</p> <p>I really liked a few of the *ugly* sweaters that I saw last. I would wear them in a heartbeat to a casual party. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/worn-at-a-party#post-1407984 Tue, 09 Dec 2014 04:00:31 +0000 always trying 1407984@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>There were a few older ladies wearing "ugly Christmas sweaters" at a function yesterday.&nbsp; apparently no one told them they were "ugly" and only to be worn to an Ugly sweater party..This was just a casual dress party.&nbsp; If you see this please do not laugh at them, or anything.&nbsp; Just how long ago did they become ugly anyhow?&nbsp; Who decides these things anyhow?&nbsp; </p>
