15 Joyful Christmas Sweaters You’ll Want to Wear All Winter Long (1)

It's nearly impossible to get through the holiday season without being invited to a soirée of some sort. From ugly Christmas sweater theme parties to fancier co*cktail festivities, chances are you'll need a Christmas sweater to make it through.

Our Top Picks

There are options aplenty, and exactly what you choose depends on where you're headed. For more laid-back Secret Santa exchanges, try a cozy oversize style with a whimsical winter motif. If you're heading to a holiday open house, look for something more classic with a little bit of holiday flair, perhaps a textured knit with dramatic sleeves or a sparkly metallic mock-neck style. You may also need to stock something more suitable for an office holiday party or festive gatherings. Look for sparkly embellishments, sequins, or evening-wear-inspired sleeves for instant pizzazz. Don’t discount classic Fair Isle and chunky textured cable knits or casual cotton, either—these sweaters perfectly encapsulate the season. Plus, they're go-tos for other winter events — like a local weekend ski trip or a cozy but stylish apres-ski gathering.

Whatever you're shopping for, here's a word of advice: Don't wait until the last minute, when your to-do list is overflowing with holiday errands like shopping for loved ones. Instead, snag one of the best Christmas sweaters for women now while they're still widely available and you're not in a pinch.
