The Ultimate Ugly Christmas Sweater Guide for the Whole Family (Pets, Too!)

by Kate CartiaDecember 16, 2023

Ugly, but make it fashion. Ugly Christmas sweaters are here.

There’s nothing as iconic as the ugly Christmas sweater. Oh, sure, they started out being worn un-ironically (over turtlenecks and paired with a festive brooch, right? We know you’re picturing it now.), but they’ve become a seasonal staple that isn’t going anywhere. Have you been resisting this trend? It’s time to embrace it. Do you already have a collection of jolly jumpers? We’re ready to help you add to it. Either way, these sweaters are the icing on the Christmas cake (Yule log?). Parties, Christmas Day, casual Friday…you need one. Or two. Whatever.

Hilariously ugly to adorably snuggly, this is the ultimate sweater guide. Oh, and if you hate sweaters, or live somewhere that it just would be miserable to wear one, we thought of that, too. There’s tees, sweatshirts, button-downs, and even an apron in here. For adults, for kids, and for pets—we made sure to include anyone who needs some extra holiday style. And make sure to note shipping cut-off dates! It’s coming fast.

Who Are the New Characters in the “Frozen 2” Trailer? Fans Have Theories

by Erica LoopFebruary 18, 2019

The internet has some serious questions about the new Frozen 2 trailer. While we all expected to see Anna, Elsa and Olaf again, but there are a few new faces in Disney’s first look at the highly-anticipated sequel—and Twitter has thoughts.

Here’s what we know so far: in addition to the return of Idina Menzel as Elsa and Kristen Bell as Anna, two more actors have joined the cast, namely Evan Rachel Wood (Westworld) and Sterling K. Brown (The Good Place)—but in undisclosed roles. With the new teaser, there’s speculation that Wood might be the voice of the tunic-wearing girl in a forest scene near the end of the trailer. Take a look for yourself:

The scene also features a mystery man (or boy, it’s hard to tell) who right now, we know absolutely nothing about, other than that he goes flying out of a massive leaf pile and launches into the air. But how? Is the mysterious redhead responsible? So. Many. Questions.

While there are no confirmations as of yet, one theory is that the mystery characters are actually Elsa and Anna’s parents—in a flashback, of course. Another theory proposes that the new female character is none other than Anna and Elsa’s sister.

.@evanrachelwood Are you playing Anna and Elsa's long lost sister in Frozen 2?

— Mike Lazzaro (@mikeylazz) February 13, 2019

Other theories include that perhaps Elsa is one of a legion of seasonally-powered princesses.

OK HEAR ME OUT i cant be the only one who thought this #frozen2 BUT WHAT IS ELSA IS WINTER AND SOMEONE ELSE IS FALL!!! and would there be a summer and spring too??

— Smallprincee (Commissions OPEN!) (@soltergeist) February 13, 2019

But perhaps there’s something even more here?

https://twitter.com/ksupercorp1821/status/1095724034233294849

For now, we’ll just have to wait and see—and keep our crazy theories coming.

Frozen 2 is set for a Nov. 22, 2019 release nationwide.

10 New-Mom Outfit Essentials to Add to Your Wardrobe

by Eva Ingvarson CeriseNovember 10, 2018

When you’ve been living in sweatpants and adjusting to your ever-changing new-mom body, it can be hard to re-find your fashion groove. Here are 10 outfit staples (from bras and tanks to pants and even a bag to complete your look) for new moms to help you feel like yourself again—and like one hot mama.

Kut from the Kloth Jeans with FAB AB Technique

Kut from the Kloth

You may already know Kut from the Kloth for its figure-flattering jeans in stylish washes. The company has now introduced a new innovation, the FAB AB technique, that can give you a slimmer shape. Available in two styles—the Diana relaxed fit skinny and the Mia slim fit skinny—this new style boasts flatter front pockets and soft, stretchy denim to show off your curves and flatten that postpartum belly.

Available at kutfromthekloth.com, $98.

CozyChic Lite® Circle Cardigan from Barefoot Dreams

You may have seen the Barefoot Dreams circle cardigan all over Instagram fashion accounts, and for good reason. It's the softest, coziest cardigan out there, and it drapes well on any shape. Perfect for lounging around the house and a chic topper for running errands, the circle shape can be worn as open or closed you like. Available in neutrals and rich shades.

Available at shop.nordstrom.com, $116.

Shefit Ultimate Sports Bra

Shefit

Zip. Cinch. Lift. That's how easy it is to get a perfect fit from the Shefit Ultimate Sports bra. This ingenious sports bra zips up the front so it's easy to get on and off (no more getting stuck while pulling a sweaty bra over your head!). You then cinch it in the back and lift the shoulder straps to where you want them. Great for new moms whose weight is changing, and super great for nursing moms, who can feed their littles and get back to their workout in a flash. Available in maximum, high and low impact versions and a rainbow of colors.

Available at shefit.com, $38-$69, depending on style.

Spanx Faux Leather Leggings

Faux leather leggings from Spanx made a big fashion splash last year, and they now come in flashy new colors such as bronze metal and crimson. The best way to get out of a fashion rut, they hit at your natural waist (no muffin top!) and feature a high, tummy-shaping waistband. Plus, they make your exits look as great as your entrances. Available in XS (size 0) to 3X (size 26-28) and petite sizes.

Available at spanx.com, $98-$102.

Dream Nursing Tank from Bravado

Nursing tanks offer benefits over nursing bras: They shape your belly and let you skip a layer when getting dressed. This cotton/spandex one from Bravado is nice enough to wear under an open cardigan or button-down shirt. It features a full-support bra with easy-open nursing clips and removable foam inserts for shaping or discretion. If you're not nursing, it's soft and comfortable enough to sleep in.

Available at bravadodesigns.com, $55.

Vintage Soft Joggers from the Gap

If leggings seem too revealing or uncomfortable, opt for looser-fitting joggers. Drawstring waistbands are forgiving, and this pair has an easy fit through the hips and thighs. They're made from soft brushed fleece and have on-seam pockets, which are super handy for holding pacifiers, bottles or your phone when you're carrying baby. In addition to black and gray, these come in blue, cream and a bright red, a welcome change from all of your black maternity pants.

Available at gap.com, $49.95.

Boden Drop Hem Blouse

A longer-line, loose-fitting, structured blouse like a tunic or this dandelion print top from Boden helps you look put-together with minimal effort. Look for a machine-washable fabric so you don't have to worry about dry-cleaning. Made from drapey, washable viscose, this top features gathers at the waist and buttons halfway down, which is handy if you're nursing. Pair it with jeans or leggings and cute flats.

Available at bodenusa.com, $98.

Behr Bras

When it comes to bras after baby, we need all the support we can get. Literally. Behr Bras are made from nylon/spandex fabric with four-way stretch that supports your changing shape. They're also moisture-wicking, odor- and fade-resistant and sport one-handed nursing clips for easy on and off. Best of all, they break out of the usual nude, white and black color choices with bold, fun colors and prints, so you can dress your chest in something as cute as you'd choose for your baby. Available in nursing and non-nursing styles.

Available at behrbras.com, $49.

Belly Bandit C-Section Recovery Briefs

Belly Bandit

Calling all C-section moms! Protect your incision area with these high-waisted briefs made from a moisture-wicking, breathable fabric with silver-infused fibers to help eliminate bacteria and odors. The compression fit and fabric can help reduce swelling and ease discomfort, and prevent clothes from rubbing against your scar. Available in nude and black, size small (4-6) through XL (16-18).

Available at bellybandit.com, $34.95.

Healthy Back Bag from Ameribag

Carrying a baby, and all the gear they require, can do a number on your back. So the body-hugging teardrop shape of the Healthy Back Bag is a big winner for new moms. It contours to the curve of your spine to distribute weight evenly and minimize strain in the back, neck and shoulders. And it has interior and exterior pockets for your stuff and baby's. Wear it cross-body or throw it over your shoulder. Available in a variety of colors, sizes and fabrics.

Available at ameribag.com, $60-$220.

A Big Change Is Coming to “Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood” & Moms Will Love It

by Shahrzad WarkentinJuly 24, 2018

Since its debut in 2012, Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood has been providing a new generation of kids with the same messages and themes as the show it was based on, Mister Rogers Neighborhood. Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood season 4 has just premiered with more inspiring topics, but there are some big changes coming to the Tiger household.

Series creator Angela Santomero recently sat down with The Atlantic to discuss the hit show and why it’s so popular among young fans and their parents. While borrowing many elements from Mister Rogers, the new show also draws on modern themes and real-life challenges that its preschool audience experiences at home.

Santomero explained that many episode ideas have even drawn on audience feedback that the creators have received on social media channels like Facebook. “Now because Daniel has been out on air, we can even ask on Facebook. Our fans are like, This is what I want, I want this episode! Then the team will talk about the ‘Fred-ish’ way to do them,” Santomero explained. Topics, such as using the potty or going to the doctor, have been suggested by parents and given an approachable Mr. Rogers-esque treatment.

For season 4, the show will explore a topic that many families face in their own lives: Mom Tiger will be heading back to work. She’ll be trading in her tunic (yes, Santomero confirmed that’s that Mom Tiger is wearing a tunic and not scrubs) for work clothes and going back to the job.

While Mom Tiger is working, Daniel finds something to do until she is done. Tune in to a brand-new episode of Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood on @PBSKIDS today (check local listings)! #DanielTigerPBS pic.twitter.com/fFPi1k7Rix

— Daniel Tiger (@danieltigertv) July 11, 2018

And what is Mom Tiger’s job exactly? “She’s a builder,” says Santomero. “She builds things, and she helps fix things all around the Neighborhood of Make-Believe, so we can visually see what she does. As a preschooler, it’s so cool to see Mom fix something, or build something, and you can see it before and after. She has overalls, with tools and a tool belt, things like that. It’s very cute.”

Street Style: 10 Classic Looks from SoCal You Have to See

by Erin LemOctober 21, 2012

There’s something about the California sunshine that makes SoCal kids look totally fab year round (or maybe we’re just envious that these kiddos get to wear shorts and tees while we’re bundled up in scarves and coats). Whatever the reason, we can’t wait to share 10 drop-dead awesome looks from Southern California. These kids totally embody the free spirited and beachy vibe that is SoCal. And, a special shout out to each child’s mom who not only took these sweet snapshots but sent them into our editor as well!

Got a stylish kiddo in Southern California? Send us a pic, along with your child’s name, age, and brands he/she is wearing to our editor (Erin@tinybeans.go-vip.net) and we’ll add them to the story!

We love Liv (age 6) and her flower child style. Taken at the vineyards in Temecula (a short drive from the OC), Liv’s mom writes that her daughter “has amazing street style and sass.” Sass, indeed — she’s got the pose down pat. We could definitely see Liv on the runway flaunting her bohemian style.

What She’s Wearing: Matilda Jane Clothing dress, shirt, and ruffle pants

Because of the region’s enviable weather, kiddos in Southern California seem to always be enjoying the outdoors. Ethan (age 5) is makes drawing on the pavement with chalk look like a photo shoot, right? Ethan’s mom, Sommy, a SoCal contributing writer to Red Tricycle, comments that her son likes to sport your typical OC beach style. And, we gotta admit — he’s totally pulling it off.

What He’s Wearing: A Hobie t-shirt, the popular surfwear of OC beach bums, Shaun White sandals, and a Micros button down shirt from Nordstrom’s kids. The fedora is from Hats Unlimited in downtown La Jolla.

Red Tricycle contributing writer, Wanda has two kids (Delilah & Elijah) who look like they belong in front of the camera. We love their white sunglasses and bright apparel.

What They’re Wearing: Delilah is wearing a tank dress from Gymboree and leggings from Bloomingdale’s. Elijah is wearing a white polo shirt from H&M and Ralph Lauren green and white checkered shorts, which Wanda said she scored from a thrift store.

Connor and Collin are doing what any kid does best in warm weather: scarfing down ice cream. The brothers are adorable — from their matching haircuts to their similar tees. Eating ice cream has never looked so hip (check out those ripped jeans!).

What They’re Wearing: Connor is wearing a Sandbox Rebel shirt, while Collin is wearing Sandbox Rebel shirt & Gasbag jeans.

We love that Sydnie (6 years) and Annie (almost 4 years) are beaming in this photo. And, wouldn’t you if your mom knew all of the cool under-the-radar spots like Malibu Art Barn and a dinner where magicians and nannies abound? Sydnie and Annie are the daughters of Red Tricycle contributing writer, Jolie and the girls totally typify the clean-cut, classic look of many SoCal kids.

What They’re Wearing: Sydnie is wearing a Cherokee shirt from Target, Joe’s Jeans shorts, and Dynasty sandals from Marshalls. Annie is wearing a Dukke Lise tunic from Denmark, Lucky Brand shorts, and another pair of sandals Jolie picked up at Marshalls by Capelli Kids.

Even in the cool Fall weather, SoCal kids are all about that laid-back style. Jessica from Long Beach writes about her son Jett, “He turned 3 over the summer and has always loved dressing up and looking at himself in the mirror.” Well, we would too, Jett if we looked half as fab as you!

What He’s Wearing: Beanie by Gap Kids, Jacket and Jeans by Guess Kids, T-shirt by Crazy 8 and boots by Timberland.

Melanie’s (age 5) mom writes, “Melanie is not a professional model but in her mind she’s a fashion stylist diva! Ha! She picks out her own clothes and I’m her editor. ;-)” We love that Melanie picks out her own outfits. She definitely has a sense of style that we didn’t have at her age!

What She’s Wearing: clothes from The Children’s Place and Old Navy.

How cute are all of these looks?! Let us know in the comment section below if your kids like to sport the laid back, SoCal style like these fab kiddos.

Stylish kids of SoCal — we know you’re out there! Send us a pic, along with your child’s name, age, and brands he/she is wearing to our editor (Erin@tinybeans.go-vip.net) and we’ll add them to the story!
