The holiday season is here and it’s only a matter of time before the party invitations start rolling in. To help you celebrate in style, we’ve rounded up a few shops around Fort Worth where you can grab some not-so-ugly festive sweaters.

🛍️ Where to shop

Tucker Brown | Stockyards
It’s a country Christmas with Dolly Parton, the Grinch, and cowboy-themed sweaters at this women’s boutique. We’ve got our eyes on these “Howdy Christmas” and “I Saw Dolly Kissing Santa Claus” sweatshirts.

Lemon Cake Boutique | Arlington Heights
You can find this boutique inside the community co-working space 76106 Collective. We can’t deny a sale and the “Kelly Green Sequin Nutcracker” and “Pink Cowboy Nutcracker” sweaters are both $20 off.

Creatively Thrifted | Online
Owner Samantha Buller is doing the hard part for you — finding fun, festive vintage clothes and selling them on her Instagram page. We think this “blue snowflake cardigan” would be the perfect addition to your holiday outfit.
