These ain't your grandma's sweaters. I mean, unless you have the coolest grandma on the block, who’s part biker gal, part pin-up girl and has a mouth like a sailor. Here you’ll find sweaters emblazoned with skulls, naughty words, knife-wielding kitties and retro-inspired hearts and snowflakes. You can order online, but it’s way more fun to visit the shop in all its cheeky, slightly disturbing glory.

Calgary’s pin-up-girl fashion spot, Blame Betty on Second Street and 17th Avenue Southwest, specializes in vintage, retro, rockabilly and alternative fashions. You probably won’t find a run-of-the-mill ugly sweater here, but you will find a selection of vintage-style Hell Bunny Fair Isle reindeer sweaters. These fitted, vintage-inspired sweaters are a classier take on the Christmas sweater trend. But if you’re feeling particularly Scrooge-like, you can always pick up a “Nobody Cares” Killstar sweater to keep you cozy.
