Ugly
Nothing says Ugly Sweater Party like a stitched-on snowman decal. Your best bet is to raid the local thrift store for this one—and keep the sizing generous, for maximum turkey consumption.
Put Me On Consignment
1526 Queen Street
Festive
For a (slightly) less obnoxious look, opt for a print like plaid in a colour like blue. Great for Hanukkah or as
a nod to the icy queen that is
Halifax winter.
Brilliant Clothing Boutique
1539 Birmingham Street
Cozy
Keep it casually elegant with a plain, creme turtleneck—the perfect middle ground for an office party or Christmas dinner. You’ll look cool and your neck will be SO WARM.
Sweet Pea Boutique
1542 Queen Street
Trendy
Step up your holiday game with a sweater that doubles as a dress and will get you from point A to point B
(family dinner to Christmadome) warmly. Sweater on fleek, and other atrocious word trends.
Biscuit General Store
1661 Argyle Street
Classy
Sparkly beadwork is a double-edged sword. It says “I am sophisticated, but I am here to party.” Strategically placed sequins can make or break a holiday sweater, so stick to a shoulder or sleeve embellishment. Anything in the shape of an animal or ornament and you risk being tossed back to the ugly category.
