At work recently, we had a Christmas celebration and we played a game where we each had a Christmas-related question we had to answer. Mine was "It just wouldn't be Christmas without ______." My answer? Christmas sweaters! So many people wear them ironically, but I truly love my Christmas sweaters. They are such a fun, simple way to share the Christmas spirit, and why wouldn't you want to do that?


Here are a few of my tips for wearing your Christmas sweater without feeling super tacky.

1. Be mindful of what you wear with it or how you accessorize. I'm not huge on accessories. I wear my wedding set, a necklace, and earrings. During the holidays, I tend to wear my big "diamond" earrings, because they're classy and festive. I don't add any fun Christmas jewelry or whatnot. I stick with basic colors and/or jeans.


Here, I picked the blue out of the sweater, coordinated it with a blue dress, threw on black tights to tone it all down, and accessorized with basic tan shoes and a belt.

2. If you're going to wear Christmas jewelry, wear a basic "everyday" outfit to even out the Christmas-y and the "everyday."

3. A peek of other Christmas items is a-okay. For example, Christmas socks that peek out between your shoes and jeans.
