Promising review: "I really like the sweater. It was a lovely 'ugly sweater' and I received many compliments on it. I actually won a prize for the most beautiful ugly sweater. I will wear it next year, too! It fit very well. My students loved the bells (ornaments) on the sweater." —Carol Sullivan

Promising review: "These are amazing! No more sweating your butt off at holiday parties where the heat is cranked and you're wearing a literal sweater. Be the envy of everyone at the party by wearing a breathable 'faux ugly sweater'. Seriously this thing rules. I'd happily buy a ton more of these. I honestly hate sweaters and fortunately this is not one. Just has the appearance of one which is perfect." —TRVTH

Promising review: "I was super determined to win the ugliest sweater contest at my job. So when I saw this sweater, I knew it was the one. The placement of the fuzzy-like balls were good enough for me to put a light string of lights around it; and carefully through the garland. Overall, I’m happy and something I can pass on to another...and I won!" —San_Smiles

Promising review: "I really liked this sweater, and although I purchased for our office 'ugly Christmas sweater' contest, I was complimented on it multiple times on how cute it was. It fit nicely, and the material was very, very soft — not scratchy at all. I love the 'jingle bell' on the llama — I had a lot of fun with it. Will wear this to my family's Christmas get-together!" —Rainbowbelle

Promising review: "I bought this for an 'ugly Christmas sweater' party, but it is super cute lol. I swear they used my dog for the model because it looks just like him, which is mainly why I bought it. The material is soft and thick, which is great!! Other Christmas sweaters that I’ve seen in store run thin. I was warm and was able to wear it with leggings as it was long enough. I would definitely recommend this to anyone, especially for $20." —Brandi
Price: $9.99+ (available in sizes XS–XL and four colors)
