Ah, the ugly Christmas sweater. Such a storied, dubious article of only seasonally appropriate clothing. So widely seen, so widely regretted.

So, in this time of seasonal cheer, let us revel in the unfortunate bunches of holiday-related scratchy yarn that sometimes finds itself gathering around the torsos of beloved (or, well, at least recognizable) celebrities.

Justin Bieber

This photo makes us irrationally angry, but that’s just because of the two faces taking up residence in it. It’s also notable that Bieber here’s not wearing a Christmas sweater per se, he’s wearing a Christmas vest. Because of course he is.
