The Vegan Christmas Sweater For The Festive Season
Right, let’s be real for a minute. The holidays roll around, and suddenly every vegan is scrambling for that perfect, tacky, gloriously silly vegan Christmas sweater. But for us it’s not as easy to find 100% plant-based options.
Fast Fashion & Christmas Sweaters
The Caavakushi team get genuinely furious when we see how much hidden animal exploitation exists in the fast-fashion market, especially with seasonal novelty items. It is utterly infuriating! When you consider the vast amount of Christmas sweaters that flood the market, the ethical landscape is bleak. Research from environmental charities like Hubbub shows that up to 95% of all holiday jumpers are made wholly or partly from plastic materials like acrylic. And while acrylic is technically vegan, that doesn’t excuse the common inclusion of wool, cashmere, or other animal fibres in the remaining percentage, or in “premium” options. It’s a constant battle to check every single label. We demand better! We demand transparency!
Amazon To The Rescue
Since we’re not here to compromise our ethics for a giggle, we’ve done the tedious work for you. We’ve scoured Amazon for the best vegan Christmas sweater options that are to be cruelty-free and suitable for everyone—because ethical fashion is, thankfully, naturally unisex.
The Non-Negotiables Of The Vegan Christmas Sweater
Before we dive into the list, let’s establish the ground rules. If the label says “wool,” “lambswool,” “mohair,” or “cashmere,” you walk away. No exceptions. The majority of affordable, mass-produced ugly Christmas sweater options actually rely on synthetic fibres like polyester and acrylic, which are technically vegan. However, the Caavakushi team agree that while these materials spare animals, the microplastic problem (with acrylic releasing approximately 730,000 microfibres per wash!) means we should favour recycled synthetics and natural plant-based fibres like cotton wherever possible.
Caavakushi Top 6 Unisex Vegan Christmas Sweater Picks
Here are the six vegan options we’re currently asserting are worthy of your festive focus (unfortunately, they do contain synthetic materials as we found it next to impossible to find vegan Christmas sweaters on Amazon without synthetic materials). Mostly all of them are available in a black and some have other colour options to choose from.
6 Best Vegan Christmas Sweaters
1. The Christmas Carol: The ‘Tis the season to go vegan. fa La la la la la la la la’ Sweatshirt
Why waste energy explaining your lifestyle when your chest can do it for you with a classic Christmas Carol. It also features a Christmas tree and snow (All including text in retro gaming print).
2. The Festive Fact-Drop: The ‘Soy to the World’ Vegan Christmas Sweater
A brilliant, slightly eye-rolling pun that also serves as a subtle reminder that plants exist. This sweater certainly has a lot going on. Two different text fonts, retro gaming images and a modern day cartoon image (of a carton of milk) all in one. The print features the colours baby blue, white and green.
3. The Bold Statement: ‘This is not my ugly Christmas sweater. This is my vegan Christmas sweater.’ Sweater
One might call this vegan sweater passive-aggressive activism at its finest. The only colours used for the print are white, red and green. It definitely keeps up with the tacky Christmas sweater holiday spirit. There also seems to be a strange combination of white, snowflakes and green carrots for some reason. The whole design is presented in a retro gaming print. It meets all the vegan requirements for a strange and perfectly ugly Christmas sweater.
4. The Vegan Advocate: ‘Tis the season to be vegan’ Statement Sweater
This truly is a fearless bold statement advocating for veganism. It’s presented with a dark green background and a bright red print for the text. Striking and straight to the point.
5. The Vegan Christmas: ‘Merry vegan Christmas’ Vegan Christmas Sweater
Perfect for an exclusively vegan Christmas party. It is available in three different colours white, bright green and navy blue. There’s a lot going on on this sweater including two different fonts in two different colours, green and white. There are green leaves emerging from brown soil. White snowflakes, green/orange carrots and red and green bell peppers. An interesting combination indeed. An eye swore or an eye full of something to look at?
6. The Explosion Of Colour: ‘Merry plant based Christmas’ Vegan Christmas Sweater
This sweater is available in both black and dark heather grey. The word Christmas is in bright red large font. In a smaller font are the words Merry and Based in matcha green. Also in a smaller font is the word Plant in white. We also have a bright red bow at the top of the design. It seems to be holding up a Christmas tree bauble made up of fruits and vegetables. They are placed in a colour wheel sort of design with yellow, orange, pink, red, purple, green, brown and yellow. Looks like it’s almost a rainbow Christmas.
Christmas Crisis Averted
Now you can confidently step into every office party or family gathering, knowing your fashion choices are as flawless as your ethical conviction. And it’s all thanks to the Caavakushi team’s efforts of sifting through the internet’s endless piles of ugly Christmas sweaters. (No thank yous required!).
