DAY+17+%3A+Ugly+shirts

Christmas is coming and the famous ugly shirt is taking over our normal attire. In Quebec City, family and friends wear the ugly shirts during Christmas,  they consider that a tradition.

Here are the basic rules to respect for the perfect ugly shirt.

 

 

    1. It needs to have a classical Christmas animal on it, like the typical reindeer.
    2.  A joke or reference from the 80’s should be on it.
    3. Your shirt can’t be black or grey it needs to be in Christmas colours (red, green, gold or all of the above)
    4.  Glitters need to be abundant
    5.  They need to be made from synthetic material
    6.  They should be textured
    7.  They need to be warm as hell and not let perspiration through
    8. They may cause blindness and traffic accidents

You can find this type of shirt in many stores, so here’s a list of examples:

  • Walmart
  • Urban Planet
  • Amnesia
  • Simons

Don’t be scared to spend money, Christmas comes back every year!
