 When we first spotted this Miss Selfridge sweater, we had an instant, strong reaction to it. And we’re not the only ones: as we’ve policed the Internet this week, we’ve found that quite a few of our fellow bloggers have strong feelings about this sweater, too, but their feelings are the absolute opposite of ours – or at least some of them are.
Clearly then, this is a sweater which inspires a love/hate reaction in many of the people who see it, so without telling you which side of that fence we fall on, we thought we’d put the question to you, readers: what do you think of this sweater? Do you love it or hate it, and why?

 INNOCENT! Remember last year, when Rock Hyrax made a Citizen’s Arrest at Asda, who were discovered to be selling stuck-together-clothes? Well, this week she’s sent in this second image which proves that they have mended their ways and are no longer indulging in the nefarious practice of sewing innocent items of clothing together. Look! TWO PIECES! Two! And for £12! Now, isn’t that a much better idea than one item that just looks like two? We think so, although we’re amused to note that the Stuck Together Movement has obviously gained such a strong foothold in the world of retail that Asda felt the need to point out that these were, in fact, NOT joined at the hip. Or at the chest. Or, you know, wherever.
Bravo, Asda. Let’s hope more retailers will follow where you lead…

For £705 / $1,102 we think we’d want the WHOLE sweater, not just the top half of it, and we don’t care if it IS knitted with unicorn hair.
You?

Ooh, look everyone! A cute little cardigan from Agent Provocateur! Except… wait. Are those…? No. No, they can’t be. Can they?
Oh. Oh.
We wonder how this would go down in Tesco?

While we’re on the subject of ugly sweaters…
We’re sure some people will look at this Miss Selfridge cardigan and see a cosy, practical and cheerful winter knit.
We, on the other hand, look at it and see something a children’s TV presenter – possibly Noel Edmonds - would’ve worn circa 1983. Or possibly Bill Cosby.
£60 to look like an extra from the Cosbys? We’re going to politely decline. If you want it, though, you can get it here.

You may have to look closely at the evidence before you, jurors, to see the problem with it. From the image on the left, we at first thought this cardigan had a kind of stylised heart design, but a quick look at the image on the right confirms that, no, that’s not the case: those are hands. Santa’s hands, to be precise. So this is basically a festive version of those “Hey, look! Someone has their hands on my breasts!” shirts you sometimes see.
This item was reported by Fashion Police reader Georgette, whose commentary was too funny not to share with you. Georgette says: “Wouldn’t you just LOVE to look like naughty old Santa has come up from behind you and taken a grab at your jumblies? No? I wouldn’t either. It’s called the “Mrs. Klaus” sweater. Because the very first thing that comes into my mind when I think Christmas spirit is how much Santa gets it on. Yeah.”
Well, exactly. Now we’re going to need brain bleach rather than eye bleach. If you just need the sweater, though, it’s $78 at Urban Outfitters.

 It’s “tres cher” by name, and, indeed, this Sonia Rykiel pullover is “tres cher” by nature, too, retailing for $805.
We kinda like the humour of it, but of course the REAL irony here is that only a true fashion victim would pay that much money for a sweater that essentially makes fun of fashion victims. Poor fashion victims! Life must be so complicated for them, sometimes!

 When we first laid eyes on this sweater, we must admit, we didn’t know WHAT to think. It was almost as if the sheer shininess of it had a kind of stunning effect on us, which wiped all thoughts from our minds and left us just staring there at the sweater, and maybe dribbling slightly.
Now that we’ve recovered, we… well, actually, we STILL don’t know what to think. We’re tempted to view this as a particularly flamboyant breed of Christmas sweater, but of course, it could just be further evidence of the current fashion ruling stating that everything must be covered in sequins at all times, OR ELSE.
What do you think of it, readers? If you like it, it’s £60 at Topshop.

 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…
