Is this really the new in thing?

[fuzzywuzzy]

I think I may just be downright utterly unstylish...is Asos really trying to sell a jumper with a giant hole at the hip and calling it 'distressed'...here really?

I've been looking for cream jumpers, I'm going to give up now.

I was fine with the eighties style torn jeans...but jumpers? In this weather??? No, just no.

Hahaha! That's hideous! 'Distressed detail'?! It's an effing great hole!

Old gimmer at 33

Huh, how odd

oh that is horrid. Looks ready for the bin!

£125 for a jumper with a bloody great big hole in?

Yeah, I don't get it. Officially old.

Did someone have an accident while making it and think, ah well we'll sell it as distressed!
That's definitely a hole, not just distressed, a hole.

There's a reason it's been reduced.

My DH and every other man in my family are leaders of style then...

Ha ha clicked on the link thinking it might be 'artfully distressed' with laddering in the pattern for example, but it's hideous.

And 50% acrylic. For that money I'd want a 100% cashmere hole thank you very much.

Thats so funny!

I have this- its quite slouchy but I've worn it loads cream jumper

If it didn't have to hole it would be lovely, what a shame. It looks shit.

The tale of The Emperors New Clothes can often be applied to Fashion. This is just one of those moments. Another would be this -

Even the fashion editors were stunned into silence by this....

My cousin will be gutted - she's just thrown out a load of jumpers after a moth infestation!

A real bargain at only £125.....RRP £315!

Ummm...what??!!

Bizarre!

Oh dear... how much of a sucker would you have to be to buy that?!

Did you see the original retail price?! Hilarious

I fully support this trend. It means I don't have to spend any money at all on clothes this winter . In fact, I may be able to sell a few.

What a lovely jumper. Don't you agree?

'distressed detailing' my arse...it's the ones they've fucked up in the factory..

Well that is a relief, I thought I was going mad, can you even imagine attmepting to wash it, it would come out of the machine as a giant tangled ball of yarn.

Iloveeverton thank you for the link, I shall go to DP at lunchtime and have a look.

iloveeverton I like your jumper, looks nice and cosy.

mignonette Viv Westwood looks fab for her age though, isn't she 70 or thereabouts?
