Have a Black and White Moment

This goes to show that not all “ugly sweaters” have to have extravagant colors. A black and white one is great for someone who wants to be festive, but in a more toned-down and sophisticated way. The best part about it is that it goes with pretty much anything – and looks especially pretty when you layer it under a red coat or with red ankle boots.
