One of everyone’s favorite holiday themes, the traditional Ugly Sweater Party, can baffle even the most stylish fashionista in terms of what to wear. Your only goal: make it your own and have fun with it. Whether you decide to play up the part or create a chic version of the style, here are three ways to rock the ugly sweater trend this year.

Loro Piana / Cashmere Sweater | AG / Cigarette Jeans
Kate Spade New York / Shoulder Bag | Stuart Weitzman / Buckle Strap Boots

A laid back, casual affair needs a look to suit the atmosphere. Perfect for a house party or pub crawl, a cashmere turtleneck and buckle strap boots are sure to keep you warm and cozy throughout the night. Finish with a festive red shoulder bag to free your hands for hugs and holiday games.

J Brand / Leather Leggings | Marc by Marc Jacobs / Plaid Wool Sweater
Moschino / Chain Clutch | DKNY / Pointed Toe Booties

Just because you’re going to an ugly sweater party, doesn’t mean you have to throw your style out the window. Opt for a chic take on the trend with a plaid wool pullover by Marc by Marc Jacobs. Leather leggings and a chain strap clutch add a moto touch. Add pointed toe booties to accentuate long legs.

Kayu / Metallic Clutch | RED Valentino / Full Mni Skirt
Wildfox / Christmas Tree Sweater | Badgley Mischka / Gold T Strap Pumps

For the party complete with peppermint schnapps and eggnog, don’t be afraid to go all out and maybe even a little bit tacky. That’s what it’s all about, right? Show your holiday spirit in a kitschy Christmas tree sweater and flirty mini skirt. Gold shoes and accessories tie the look together.
