Christmas Sweaters throughout History
We’re prepared to wager that everyone has a fond memory of a Christmas sweater. Like the one, you “ironically” wore for a week in high school to prove you weren’t hip enough to wear Christmas sweaters. What about your favorite teacher from elementary school who blew your mind when she donned a sweater with a flashing Rudolph nose?
Or that scene in your favorite Christmas movie with Bridget and Mr. Darcy that you like? Whether you like them or not, Christmas sweaters have become an important part of our holiday traditions. But how did these festive – if not often gorgeous – garments become such an important element of our American Christmas?
Make a cup of cocoa and continue reading for some interesting facts about the history of Christmas sweaters (and why we love them so much).
The origins of the Christmas sweater are as follows:
Christmas sweaters were not introduced to the holiday in the 1950s with satirical motives, believe it or not. In fact, they swiftly became a Christmas fashion trend that the entire family could embrace, especially those hip, sock-hopping youngsters. It’s certainly no accident that Christmas sweaters first appeared in the 1950s, just as the holiday grew more commercialized.
These 1950s holiday favorites were a more “subdued” version of today’s Christmas sweaters, but they still included all of the essentials like snow-covered pine forests and huge reindeer. Christmas sweaters have been around since the 1950s, but they didn’t really take off as a “fashion” until the 1980s when they started to appear in contemporary culture.
By the 1980s, film and television series were outfitting its adored characters in extremely festive (if not flashy) Christmas sweaters for the audience’s delight, dubbed Jingle Bell sweaters. The 1980s essentially planted the seed that Christmas sweaters were a joke – a joke that seemed to fizzle out by the 1990s when individuals lost interest in wearing sweaters as a punchline.
Christmas sweaters are said to have resurfaced on the party scene in 2001, when two guys in Canada, nostalgic for the Jingle Bell sweaters of their favorite ’80s movies, threw a large Christmas Sweater Party in Vancouver where everyone had to wear a traditional Christmas sweater. People, unsurprisingly, did not disappoint, and the party craze quickly spread.
It wasn’t long before Americans were on board with the Christmas sweater holiday party motif, and they were scouring charity stores and attics for the perfect party outfit. The Christmas Sweater Party trend was still going strong in 2010, and prominent fashion designers were debuting their take on an old classic as part of their highly anticipated fall collections in 2011.
Christmas sweaters are now a cornerstone in our American holiday ritual, due to two people who loved a good inside joke, and it doesn’t look like that will change anytime soon. Are you stumped as to what to wear with them? To complete the appearance, add a pair of velvet dress pants or corduroys.
