[Hot trend] Jason voorhees hide and seek champion 1980 ugly christmas sweater

Ugly sweaters have existed since the invention of the concept of fashion. They weren’t always constructed on purpose — perhaps someone made a knitting error or tried a novel pattern that didn’t work out as well as they hoped. However, it wasn’t long before grandmothers all around the world were crocheting their grandchildren ugly Christmas sweaters complete with ornaments and letters that read “I adore Grandma.” They were well-aware of what they were doing. Grandmas, we’re keeping an eye on you. In the 1980s, however, ugly sweaters became popular in mass markets. When Bill Huxtable, a popular character on The Cosby Show, appeared in a gaudy, ugly, yet strangely adorable sweater that he knew was utterly absurd, fashionistas would gasp. As Clark Griswold in the National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation film in 1989, Chevy Chase brought his own touch to the theme. The ugly sweater craze seemed to be on its way out in the 1990s, but it has reappeared in public view in 21st-century Canada. To raise money for their friend’s cancer treatment, two men from Vancouver came up with the concept of throwing the first official tacky holiday sweater party. The party was a success, and it paved the way for similar gatherings around the northern hemisphere. Ugly sweater parties grew in size and popularity, from modest Christmas get-togethers to large-scale events, sometimes in support of a good cause. Today, ugly sweater parties and competitions are one of the season’s highlights, with everyone striving to outdo each other in their pursuit for the most hideous clothing. The sweaters have gone from being unintentionally ugly to being wilfully obnoxious. Only if there was a holiday dedicated to it could make this celebration even more special…oh wait! Yes, there is!

Christmas Sweaters throughout History – Jason voorhees hide and seek champion 1980 ugly christmas sweater

We’re prepared to wager that everyone has a fond memory of a Christmas sweater. Like the one you “ironically” wore for a week in high school to prove you weren’t hip enough to wear Christmas sweaters. What about your favourite teacher from elementary school who blew your mind when she donned a sweater with a flashing Rudolph nose? Or that scene in your favourite Christmas movie with Bridget and Mr. Darcy that you like. Whether you like them or not, Christmas sweaters have become an important part of our holiday traditions. But how did these festive – if not often gorgeous – garments become such an important element of our American Christmas? Make a cup of cocoa and continue reading for some interesting facts about the history of Christmas sweaters (and why we love them so much).

The origins of the Christmas sweater are as follows:

Christmas sweaters were not introduced to the holiday in the 1950s with satirical motives, believe it or not. In fact, they swiftly became a Christmas fashion trend that the entire family could embrace, especially those hip, sock-hopping youngsters. It’s certainly no accident that Christmas sweaters first appeared in the 1950s, just as the holiday grew more commercialised. These 1950s holiday favourites were a more “subdued” version of today’s Christmas sweaters, but they still included all of the essentials like snow-covered pine forests and huge reindeer. Christmas sweaters have been around since the 1950s, but they didn’t really take off as a “fashion” until the 1980s, when they started to appear in contemporary culture. By the 1980s, film and television series were outfitting its adored characters in extremely festive (if not flashy) Christmas sweaters for the audience’s delight, dubbed Jingle Bell sweaters. The 1980s essentially planted the seed that Christmas sweaters were a joke – a joke that seemed to fizzle out by the 1990s, when individuals lost interest in wearing sweaters as a punchline.

Christmas sweaters are said to have resurfaced on the party scene in 2001, when two guys in Canada, nostalgic for the Jingle Bell sweaters of their favourite ’80s movies, threw a large Christmas Sweater Party in Vancouver where everyone had to wear a traditional Christmas sweater. People, unsurprisingly, did not disappoint, and the party craze quickly spread. It wasn’t long before Americans were on board with the Christmas sweater holiday party motif, and they were scouring charity stores and attics for the perfect party outfit. The Christmas Sweater Party trend was still going strong in 2010, and prominent fashion designers were debuting their take on an old classic as part of their highly anticipated fall collections in 2011. Christmas sweaters are now a cornerstone in our American holiday ritual, due to two people who loved a good inside joke, and it doesn’t look like that will change anytime soon. Are you stumped as to what to wear with them? To complete the appearance, add a pair of velvet dress pants or corduroys.
