My favorite colors are grey and black (although black is technically not a color). They are quite fail-proof and will work for most every work or play outfit. However, this piece is an exception.

I recoiled when I first saw this. My first impression was that it would add years to your age (and not in a good way) and draw unwanted attention. Then I started looking at it some more and I began to see how this could be appealing but it was because the gaudy design would actually work on a tee-shirt.

But on this particular sweater, it just looks overdone and terribly unflattering. Perhaps this is catered to an older clientele but it still doesn’t make this any more viable style-wise. Even if it’s got my two favorite colors.

Find this for US$455 at Saks Fifth Avenue.
