 Oh, hai nipples... OK, is it just us, or is this a REALLY unfortunate choice of colour and placement on the pockets? Umm, yeah.

From one legged unitards to one-armed knitwear. We’d really like to know what fashion designers have against LIMBS this season. Anyone?
Colette is charging $835 – $1,020 for these House of Holland sweaters. Problem is, you’re going to have to buy two of them if you like your knitwear with the full compliment of sleeves…

Tragic. This poor dress was just innocently minding its own business when WHAM! There’s a cardigan stuck to it and it can’t get free, OMG!
We’ve noticed a dramatic increase in this kind of crime recently: it seems nothing is safe from the stuck-togetherness right now, so we’re issuing a warning to all of you - be on your guard. Do not leave your clothing unattended, or you may return to find it stuck to something else. And we wouldn’t want that now, would we?
Still, at least there is hope for those poor people who are completely incapable of working out for themselves which cardigan to wear with a dress. Coming soon: dresses with cardigans, underwear, tights, shoes and jackets stuck to them! Surely that’s then next step, after all?

There’s a super-villain in all of us. This Tripp NYC ‘Catwoman’ hoodie will help you let her out.
It’ll also help keep your head warm and double as a super-lazy Halloween costume come October. Multi-tasking: dontchya just love it?

If you hadn't read the headline of this post, you may well have wondered how this came to end up in our Crimes of Fashion category. After all, compared to some of the stuff we've put in there, this is positively tame. In fact, it's even quite cute. Sure, the model looks like she totally forgot her pants, and THAT'S always embarrassing, but even so: it's a cardigan over a shirt – hardly the fashion crime of the century, is it?
Well, no. But this is no ordinary cardigan, and that's no ordinary shirt. Because the two are as one. Yes, they're STUCK TOGETHER. We really hate that.
If you don't, however, this (we almost wrote "these", but of course, that would be wrong) will set you back $24.80 at Forever 21.

Remember the Jean-Charles de Castelbajac jacket Lad Gaga wore? The one covered in Kermits? What are we saying: of COURSE you remember. It's not exactly the kind of thing you'd forget, is it?
Well, the designer has followed it up with another animal-based design: the "Oh my God, I have a horse for an arm!" sweater shown above. He's one crazy kid, is our JC/DC!
Don't worry, though, Kermit hasn't been forgotten completely: read on to see some sweaters featuring his beloved green face. All products available at Colette, retailing for between £200 – £500.

Remember those sweaters your grandmother/maiden aunt/other female relative used to knit you for Christmas? The ones with the random animal on the front, that you'd have to drag out every year and wear for a day, so as not to cause offence? And they'd always be weirdly itchy?
Well, we don't know about "itchy", but we think Topshop have done a pretty good job of recreating that special sweater. If it made you squee rather than squeal, it's £50, and you can buy it here.

Are those breasts WINKING at us? OK, we don't want to freak anyone out here, but we're pretty sure they are. As many a fashion criminal knows, though, flirting with the Fashion Police gets you nowhere (although bribes sometimes work, depending on what they are…), and we suspect the current trend for body parts on clothing could well constitute a fashion crime.
French Connection have already brought us the 'Hands' dress so far this season, and presumably the thinking here is that if you already have hands on your waist, hey, you may as well have eyes on your boobs, no? It's definitely ONE way to guarantee the girls will get lots of attention, of course, but do you WANT them to? If you do, the Lashes sweater is £65 from French Connection.
OK, readers: we know we can't agree on everything, but can we at least agree that the words "sequined" and "balloon trousers" should never appear in the same item description, ever? Actually, come to think of it, can we agree that the words "balloon" and "trousers" should never appear together?
While we're at it, can we also agree that this cardigan:
should probably not be worn with the aforementioned balloon trousers, unless you want to look like some kind of performance artist. Like maybe a mime or something. (No offence to any performance artists reading this.)
OK, good. Now could someone please tell Armand Basi about what we've agreed?

OK, so it’s probably never going to be mistaken for Chanel, but at just £30, we think this cute little Miss Selfridge cardigan is an easy way to fake it… Wear with a string of pearls and a pair of heels for a very “grown-up” look, or with jeans to smarten up a causal look. It’ll make a handy little Spring staple, too, worn as a jacket in the (hopefully) warmer weather.
For reasons best known to themselves, Miss Selfridge have chosen to only make thus available in petite sizes for the moment, but if that sounds like you, you can buy it here.
