An ugly Christmas sweater is the best way to show you put in a little effort with your party outfit without actually having to dress up—especially if you’re headed to a White Elephant or, specifically, an Ugly Christmas party. The best ugly Christmas sweaters also make it clear that you have a personality, a solid sense of humor, and plenty of holiday spirit.

Ugly Christmas sweaters used just to be known as Christmas sweaters (check out old family holiday photos from the ’80s and ’90s for proof). But now, the knitted novelty aberrations your parents and grandparents wore unironically with pride are a running joke everyone can get in on. Plus, compared to other holiday dressing options, they’re actually comfortable.

Are you thinking of getting one of the best ugly Christmas sweaters (without having to dig through the dusty thrift store or battle-bid on eBay to score one) this season? Now is the time to buy them—they tend to sell fast as you get closer to December.
