Whether you’re attending a holiday party or simply running to the grocery store, there’s never a bad time to wear a trendy Christmas sweater during December. No matter if you’re wearing jeans, leggings, a skirt or even a dress, it’s a simple layer that instantly adds that holly jolly spirit.
Some options are more cheesy than chic, though — hello, ugly Christmas sweaters! But we focused on styles that could more easily work with your winter wardrobe without being over the top. Some have dashing designs and others have sleighing sayings, but they all bring the magic in their own ways. Each one is available on Amazon, so get to shopping so your favorite is here for Christmas Day!
