10) Green Plaid Ugly Christmas Sweater

It is definitely not the most stylish fit, but at the end of the day, isn't that the point? This sweater encompasses reindeer trotting in diagonal rows. While the one above boast a plaid green, there are two other colors of red and gold with the same design. There is also a similar graphic with trees in the same three shades.

9) Vaporwave Ugly Sweater

For those that are huge fans or members of the retrowave and vintage gaming space, this is the perfect holiday sweater for you. Its design embodies a mesmerizing collage of Christmas elements merged with an 80s computer thematic atmosphere. This top is the visual representation of music made by synthwave legends, such as Waveshaper and F.O.O.L who recently shared their top 5 synthwave and cyberpunk anthems on iEDM in an exclusive interview.

8) Weed Christmas Tree Sweater

The Weed Christmas Tree Sweater takes two of the most beloved things in the world and fuses them together. Red and white ornaments decorate the tree built from stacked pot leaves, which is clearly the centerpiece of this outfit. The drizzling skull snow and bright blue background is a nice complement to the rest of the graphic.

7) Purple Stuff Ugly Sweater

Speaking of ganja, this gem of an outfit takes a more realistic approach. Instead of featuring cartoon marijuana leaves, the Purple Stuff Ugly Sweater showcases a 360 degree design of dank nug in 4K. Be careful who you gift this to or when you decided to wear it, just making eye contact with this fit could get you stoned.

Another graphic that is more on the realistic side, this Christmas sweater is a prime option to rep at an ugly Christmas sweater party. With a lit-up wreath across the neck, this hilarious fit is tatted up with sleeves and even has a bright red ornament nipple piercing. However, the THUG LIFE tattoo above the belly button definitely is the focal point.
