Not-So-Ugly Sweaters: How A Red Knitted Sweater Can Revamp Your Closet

As the holiday season approaches, we know those ugly sweater party invitations are going to start rolling in. You can picture it now—the red knitted sweaters with snowman motifs on them; the ones woven with all sorts of awful-colored yarn; the ones so worn out they now look pink. While we do love the occasional ironic sweater, what happened to plain old fashionable ones?

Whether it’s the season to be jolly and you refuse to wear something hideous, or you’re in need of a warm, stylish garment for the cold times ahead, a red knit sweater is your best bet. Read on as we give you tips on how to style your not-so-ugly red sweater into a not-at-all-ugly ensemble.

Not-So-Ugly Sweater + Tan Jacket

We love the racy look of red with a black leather jacket—but how about trying a different spin other than the usual black? Opt for a tan leather jacket instead to create an earthy, yet chic style.

Not-So-Ugly Sweater + Boyfriend Jeans

Carry on the down-to-earth look with light denim boyfriend jeans that are rolled a few times at the bottom and distressed throughout.

Not-So-Ugly Sweater + Suede Booties

Don a pair of chunky heeled suede booties in a lighter tone than your jacket, like beige or khaki. The varying shades of brown will complement the red of your knit sweater perfectly.

Not-So-Ugly Sweater + Hobo Bag

With a look like this you  wouldn’t do it justice if you didn’t accessorize properly. Finish off your ensemble with a hobo bag, whether fringed or simplistic.
