圣诞季：毛衣越丑越流行[1]

他表示，如果想将衣服做到奇丑无比，装饰物是关键。毛衣上的花环、铃铛、小球、灯以及小金属片越多越好。

Mendelsohn's company and Festified take the accepted ugliness standards and add a touch of tastelessness. Along with the garlands, bells and garish red and green patterns come subtly shocking pictures, such as a reindeer threesome or Santa Claus showing his butt crack.

门德尔松的公司和Festified在采用了这些公认的丑陋标准的同时，还加入了一点庸俗的元素。他们将花环、铃铛还有鲜艳的红绿色图形组成一些难看的图案，如三只驯鹿或展示屁股破洞的圣诞老人。

Some people find the ugly sweaters amusing. Others, like fashion expert Bryce Gruber, think they may have gone too far. "My brother-in-law told me how he saw some old lady in her 70s at a sports bar wearing a sweater that showed a snowman with a carrot in his crotch and two Christmas ornaments dangling below," she said. "If the sweater is just ugly -- like too many rhinestones or sequins -- that's fine, but the holiday is not supposed to be about sexual snowmen."

一些人会觉得这些难看的毛衣很搞笑，而对于时尚达人布莱斯•格鲁伯Fashion stylist James Cornwell says that even though ugly -- and edgy -- sweaters are in fashion, context is everything. What works at a party with friends might not work at a gathering filled with conservative relatives. "You won't get as much criticism if you make fun of Santa or the reindeer as you might with Jesus," he said.
