Christmas is in the air. Holiday lights, music, and decorations are all around. We are invited to holiday parties, participate in neighborhood strolls, and maybe even try out a holiday run. One timeless trend that works for all holiday activities is the holiday sweater. Some people call them ugly Christmas sweaters but I think there is a range in the holiday sweater from classic to tacky. You can choose a holiday sweater look that works best for your holiday event.
The classic holiday sweater reminds me of the type of sweater you would wear on a ski trip. I like these classic sweaters as a reserved holiday sweater look. Most have a subtle snowflake patterns.
