      Were Christmas sweaters always funny?

      Christmas sweaters were never meant to be taken too seriously, but they weren't considered funny when they were hot fashion statements in the 1980s. So when did the shift occur? Why are so many people looking for a funny holiday sweater to wear for the season? It's all to do with ugly Christmas sweater parties and the contests that accompany the events.

      In the 1980's, colorful sweaters with busy festive scenes came on the market. Several sweater designers owned the market and their sweaters were regarded as fashion statements. Michael Simon produced high end Christmas sweaters that were only sold in the best stores in NYC, like Bergdorf Goodman's and Barney's. Crazy! Simon's sweaters were (and still are!) super high quality knits with vibrant yarns that are accented with hand beaded designs. Another fab designer of the 80s was Berek, and if you can find a Berek Christmas sweater now you're in for a treat. They're packed with bold colorful designs. These sweaters were such great quality that many are still in great shape today, 30-40 years later.

      But those sweaters weren't considered funny in the 80s. They were fashion! But in the late 90's, moms and grandmas pretty much put their Christmas sweaters into the closet as holiday-wear moved away from the loud knits. It wasn't until around 2005 that some college kids decided to have a themed Christmas party and asked their friends to all wear an "ugly" Christmas sweater. And they told their guests that person wearing the ugliest sweater would win a prize. Those poor sweaters went from 'out of style' to 'ugly' with one invitation's wording. A fad was born. And those loud 80s sweaters were considered both ugly and funny by a new generation of holiday revelers. Those kids thought the crazy designs from the 80s were super funny. The more busy the sweater, the uglier (and funnier) they thought it was.

      Ugly Christmas sweater parties took off and quickly evolved to be the go-to theme for holiday events. Ugly Christmas sweater contests because mainstream and funny Christmas sweaters were winning the party contests. When it comes to Christmas sweaters nowadays, the funnier the better is the way to go.

      What makes a sweater funny? Funny Christmas sweaters come in two categories: Funny sayings or off-color holiday themes, or over the top crafty 3D light-up sweaters that are super embellished to be ridiculously funny. Whatever your choice - get a funny Christmas sweater and yuck it up this season.
