Some days you want nothing more than to dress like a little drummer girl. Or like her drum itself. (Yes, we know it’s called an “accordion” skirt, but she really looks like she’s about to break out some crazy rhythms on it, doesn’t she?)

Fair Isle prints and knits have been huge this season, and it was only a small hop from there to a fully fledged holiday sweater, complete with snowflakes and reindeer. Well Topshop have made that leap and are offering up this reindeer sweater for your holiday wardrobes. It’s certainly not the worst example of this kind of sweater we’ve seen, but do you feel the holiday sweater has a place in the world of fashion? And would you pay £48 for a top that arguably has a limited wear period (pretty much just the month of December we’d say)?
If you love this sweater, you can buy it here.

Folks, you know, you can wear jeans, or you can wear leggings (leather ones, preferably). But, let’s face it: why would you want to make that an either/or kind of decision, when designers are just queuing up to help you wear both at the same time?
OK, we say “queuing up”. We may well be exaggerating there (Who, US?), because this is only the second “leggings stuck to pants” incident we’ve been forced to arrest. We think two such incidents is more than enough, though: after all, one could just have been a freak accident, but two is starting to seem like a growing “trend”, and we like to try and nip these things in the bud if we possibly can.
If you disagree, however, and want to do your bit to support the cause of the Frankenpants, you can click here to buy them for $620. No, that’s not a typo…

At last! A designer has sat up and taken notice of what we keep saying about sticking items of clothing together. If you must do it (and really, is there any reason to do it?) designers, then please take heed of Mr Marc Jacobs. For he has created a sweater and skirt and cuffs, stuck together only by buttons. Buttons that unfasten, and give you three separate items of clothing. We like it, Mr Jacobs. The dress looks cute as an ensemble and each piece works separately too. Is this a first? Stuck together clothes that aren’t actually stuck together?
We like this, but what do you think? Would you buy a 3-in-1 or would you rather choose the pieces separately? If you like it you can buy it for $368 at Shopbop.

As the year draws to a close, we thought it might be fun to look back and give thanks for some of the ugly items we’ve arrested over the years. And by “give thanks” we mean “laugh at them”.
We’re kicking off with some of the ugliest skirts we ever did see, so sit back, relax, and if you want to know where each of these came from, you’ll find a link to the original post at the bottom of each image, although as these are all drawn from our extensive archives, we can’t guarantee you’ll still be able to purchase all of them (and, to be completely honest, we don’t really know why you’d want to…). Enjoy!

Just in time for the office Christmas party, BooHoo have released their infamous split-front harem pants in a sequin covered version. It’s all the proof that we need that there is no hope for humanity, but on the plus side, at least the product shot without the model is inexplicably amusing to us:
