We were going to say this cardigan was a “two for the price of one” deal, but it’s actually more like one for the price of six, because if we ever find ourselves paying £320 for a single cardigan, we’ll know we’ve either become rich beyond our wildest dreams, or been totally taken in by a Daylight Robbery criminal.
If we ever find ourselves buying two cardigans that are physically attached to each other, meanwhile, we’ll know we’ve just lost our minds.
What about you? Would you pay £320 for a pair of conjoined cardigans? Click here if so…
Dog lovers of the world, rejoice: your pet pooch is going to be the very height of fashion this season – or at least, he will be at Dorothy Perkins, who’ve covered their new season knitwear with images of our furry friends.
The pieces shown above are all in the region of £30, and most are available in a couple of different colours. What do you think? Do you adore the doggies, or would you have to be barking mad to consider these? (Sorry, sorry…)
So, the homeless look makes another appearance! There’s nothing like threadbare knitwear to get you noticed, eh?
Now, this sweater may not look particularly bad in the great scheme of things and you’re right, it’s not. It’s the principle we take issue with here. Really, what is it about worn-out clothing that appeals so strongly just now? The high street stores seem riddled with bobbly, worn-looking pieces that create the student look on not-so-student prices. Is it a knee-jerk reaction to the recent recession? Because, if so, we should probably be worrying about the fact that these clothes don’t cost any less than the shiny, fresh-from-the box versions. If it’s the distressed look you’re after, we can point you towards a charity shop or five offering much the same effect with a much smaller price tag: but this won’t actually save you any money, no matter how shabby it may appear.
However, if you happen to be a student, and applying for a hardship loan/extra spending money from the ‘rents, this may be exactly the look you need to create…
Yes, folks, it’s the mother of all mullet garments: innocuous black cardigan in the front, strange butterfly fancy dress costume in the back. Add to the lack of a proper back that the fact that it is practically see through, and it is going to be a long while before it is warm enough to use this as your cover up.
What do you think, though? If you can see the benefits of a cardi like this though, or you just have a penchant for dressing up as a butterfly, it will cost you £32 here.
Well, isn’t that thoughtful? Y-3 have created a sweater we can hand out to our fashion criminals when we finally let them out of jail, 23 years later, so they can, er, boast about their incarceration. Well, we say “hand them out”: they’re £609 each, and if we spent that amount on a sweater, we’d be forced to arrest ourselves, so, needless to say, that won’t be happening.
If you want to pretend to have been in prison for 23 years, however, and you have £609 to spare, you can click here to buy one of these for yourself.
This model looks confused. She’s wearing something described as a sleeveless waistcoat (surely it wouldn’t be a waistcoat, it would be a cardigan if it wasn’t sleeveless?), but that’s not what’s confusing her. Oh no. She’s just caught sight of her back view in the mirror.
Seems whoever knitted this got the pages stuck together in the pattern book and made half a waistcoat, half a v neck sweater. WIth a handy hole for your, er, back.
What do you think ? Do you want an open v neck on your back, or do you prefer your knitwear to be made from just the one pattern?
Last winter, the trend was lots of fur, feathers, and basically anything else that would drive home the point that you were wearing a dead animal on your body.
This year, however, it’s far cooler to look like you’re STILL wearing that animal, but it’s starting to look a little the worse for wear, hence the “plucked bird” effect.
What do you think: cosy and cute, or just… a little bit sad?
