Buyer’s Guide

The best ugly Christmas sweater for you is going to depend on your personality, where you will be wearing it, and what style of ugly you are really looking for.

There are plenty of options available, but the most important thing is finding one that suits your personality.

Here’s a list of a few things you’ll want to think about before purchasing an ugly Christmas sweater this year:

How much money are you willing to spend? You can find some sweaters that cost around $10 or less and others that go up into the $300 range.
What size will I need? Most sweaters come in small, medium, large, and extra-large sizes. If you know your size before you look at the selection, it’ll make finding your perfect sweater much easier.
Where will I wear it? If you plan on wearing your sweater at an office Christmas party where everyone else is in a similar pullover, then you might want to go for something that’s a little more subtle than the one with Santa getting eaten by sharks or Snoopy riding in his dog house while playing hockey.

This Christmas, no matter what your taste in clothing is and whether you prefer a sweater or not, we have found some of the best men’s ugly sweaters for you.

From festive reindeer patterns to bold colors that will make any man feel like Santa Clause himself, these are just a few examples of our favorite designs this holiday season.

We hope they help you find something perfect for yourself or for someone on your list!

Men’s Ugly Christmas Sweater FAQ

What size should a man order in an ugly sweater?

Novelty brands run unpredictable, so read the size chart on the listing every time instead of trusting the letter on the tag. If you plan to layer a collared shirt underneath for an all-day office event, size up one. A slightly roomy ugly sweater looks intentional; a tight one just looks like a bad decision in every photo.

Knitted sweater or printed sweatshirt?

True knits bring warmth, texture, and that vintage pulled-from-the-closet look the purists love, and they win for a cold or outdoor venue. Printed sweatshirts keep the artwork crisp and the price friendly, and they layer better in an overheated conference room. For a design where the joke lives in fine detail, print usually sells it better.

What makes a men’s ugly sweater office-safe?

Match the sweater to the room. A Fair Isle reindeer or a Festive Crew reads fun and lands anywhere. The Santa-getting-eaten-by-sharks school of design is a riot at a friends’ party and a risk at a corporate one. When in doubt, go loud on color and light on shock value.

When should I buy so it arrives in time?

Early. Popular men’s sizes sell through first, and the week before Christmas is a wasteland of size XS and 4XL. Reading this in October or November? You get first pick. Cutting it close in December? Choose a listing with fast shipping and confirm the delivery date before checkout.

Where else should I look?

Two shops we send people to first: Tipsy Elves runs the loudest men’s novelty catalog in the business, and UglyChristmasSweater.com is the specialist megastore for the truly unhinged designs. Feeling crafty? Our Top 10 DIY Ugly Sweater Ideas walks you through building your own.

Before you go: the sweaters we design ourselves live in our exclusive collection, knitted and printed to order for the 2026 season. FESTIVE10 takes 10% off any of them, and nobody else at the party will be wearing the same one.

How do I wash a men’s ugly Christmas sweater?

Cold wash, gentle cycle, then lay flat or hang to dry. Printed sweatshirts hold their artwork best when you turn them inside out first, and true knits keep their shape when you skip the dryer. Always check the label, since the acrylic-heavy blends most novelty brands use do not love high heat.

The Festive Folks’ Verdict

The best men’s ugly Christmas sweater comes down to the room you are walking into and how much shame you have left to lose. For a pick that lands anywhere from the office to grandma’s table, a Fair Isle or our own Festive Crew is the safe money. For the friends’ party where the goal is to win the contest outright, go for the loudest, most unhinged design on the list and commit fully. Throwing the party yourself? Our guide on How to Throw the Best Ugly Sweater Party Ever handles the rest. Whichever you choose, order early, size by the chart, and wear it loud. Merry Christmas from all of us at UglySweaters.com, and here is to making the holidays funnier, uglier, and more unforgettable, one sweater at a time.
