The Ugly Sweater Party is one of the most joyful holiday traditions — loud patterns, flashing lights, and endless laughter. But behind the fun lies a small challenge: keeping your sweater clean, intact, and ready for the next round of festivities. Here’s your guide to Ugly Sweater care from party prep to post-holiday storage.
1. Pre-Party Prep
Before your big event, inspect your sweater for loose threads or damaged ornaments. Use a small needle to tighten hanging decorations or re-glue loose patches.

2. Avoid Overheating
These sweaters are often made from warm synthetics. Stay cool by layering a breathable cotton tee underneath — it absorbs sweat and protects the sweater’s lining.
3. Spot Clean During the Season
If you spill hot chocolate or eggnog (and who doesn’t?), spot-clean immediately with a wet cloth. Avoid rubbing — dab gently to lift the stain.
4. Post-Party Washing
When the fun is over, turn your sweater inside out and wash it on a delicate cycle using cold water. Place it in a mesh laundry bag for extra protection.
5. Dry with Care
Never wring or hang to dry. Lay flat on a clean towel and reshape as it dries to preserve its structure and decorations.
6. Store Smart
Use breathable storage bags or cotton bins, and keep your sweater in a cool, dark closet. Avoid tight folding that could damage embellishments.
Pro Styling Tip
Layer your Ugly Sweater over a crisp collared shirt for a playful but polished look. Add jeans or leggings to balance out the bold patterns.
