It’s both cute and funny when people talk about wearing cozy Christmas sweaters. Maybe it’s the cliché reindeer embroidery or just how people keep calling them ugly every year. But let’s face it, it’s almost tradition to wear festive sweaters during the holidays, especially when the cold weather sets in.
At the same time, we also won’t stop you from switching it up this year. We turn to the pre-fall 2017 collections for some inspiration and where to cop something similar. You’re sure to stand out from the sea of red and green outfits at your upcoming gatherings.
Go for a retro look with Diane von Furstenburg’s turtle neck. The mix of purple, red, and blue will give anyone a fun vibe.
