Ugly Christmas Sweaters, Move Over!

The already-quirky clothier, Shinesty.com, best known for its wide selection of deliberately-ugly holiday wear, has done it again. They’ve come up with the ugly Christmas sweater suit. Here’s where the real genius comes in. Take a look at this description:

“Do you remember all those Christmas parties you went to last year dressed in your mom’s baggy vintage 88′ Christmas sweater complete with shoulder pads and shedding small trinkets from holidays past with each step you took? Do you remember going home to your sad, cold bed a little tipsy and utterly alone? Thought so. But what is there to do? You don’t want to be the stiff who shows up dressed all “normal and boring” to a holiday party. Well luckily for you, daddy (that’s us) went up North and got some of Ole man Nick’s hobbit friends to whip up something a bit more… dapper. You’re welcome. And no we don’t want milk and cookies, just name your first born in our honor.” –Shinesty.com

Considering their mission statement is to “bring you the most outlandish collection of clothing the world has ever seen,” I think they’ve come pretty close to hitting the mark. Sure, Etsy still has way wackier stuff, but this will still get you noticed.

Sorry, gents. This one is sold out!

Apparently, they're suitable for ironic hipster-style ice skating

And they look just as terrible from behind as they do from the front!

    I guess we could call this a Herb Tarlek Christmas….maybe my reference dates me a little.

    If you’re into bafflingly bad fashion, I suggest a quick image google at Don Cherry. He is an interesting Canadian figure with a rather eclectic fashion sense–though I think the word sense is somewhat of a pun.

    Happy Holidays.
