Chances are decent that you are attending some sort of holiday-themed function this weekend, am I right? And the questions loom: What to wear? Are ugly sweaters still an acceptable option? Bowties, yes or no? (Answer: both have proven to remain divisive!) All of these questions have been addressed in this week's Sold Out round-up of quotes from designers, retailers, and other lifestyle experts and stylish folk. It's an amusing, somewhat helpful, and occasionally mystifying cavalcade of inspiring opinions, and here are some of my favorite nuggets:
"I want to see ugly sweaters layered over plaid, and shirts paired with hunting caps."
"I want every woman to understand that youthful-looking hair reverse-ages you better than Botox."
"I'm oddly into the velvet that is popping up."
"Personally, I've never been into the 'ugly sweater' movement. Why waste a perfectly good opportunity to look your best by wearing god-awful shit?"
"How about tidying up that Movember beard?"
"My staples: camel-colored wool coat, a bolo tie, and sky-high Jeffrey Campbells with a samurai bun."
"I am hoping for long hair, weird bangs, lots of fabric, and some practical accessories like walking sticks, headbands, fanny packs, and vests."
