OOver the past few decades, holiday sweaters have gone from amusing to the least sophisticated joke in the industry. Think of those flashy knits decorated with flashing pine trees with battery-powered LEDs or a deer with red Solo cups for antlers. If you’re still unapologetically committed to that particular brand of holiday humor, go ahead and continue your festive fun. However, the opportunity to showcase a truly beautiful knit is too valuable to overlook, especially considering the range of truly stylish holiday sweaters available on the market today.
From psychedelic Fair Isle knits to cozy printed cardigans and outdoor crew necklines, the holiday sweaters we’ve put together below offer both warmth and festive cheer in a piece that deserves to be worn more than once. These sweaters will transition effortlessly into the months after the tree is put away and the menorah is put away, whether you wear them to the office under a stylish top coat or just lounge around the house. It’s worth noting that given the longer lifespan of these holiday sweaters, they make excellent last-minute gifts, providing both style and functionality during the holidays and beyond.
