There's a fashion line featuring three Microsoft sweaters that's being sold on the Xbox Gear website and it includes nostalgic designs based on MS Paint, Windows 95 and Windows XP. Quickly, all three designs sold out, not only giving people fun and cozy seasonal sweaters to sport during the holidays but aso helping to support Girls Who Code.
In the line, there's the MS Paint Ugly Sweater, which is dressed in icons from the basic graphics editing program and other patterns and seasonal motifs.
Fortunately for fans of the sweaters who missed out on the opportunity to purchase one of their very own, Windows has confirmed that there will be a reprint so that more of the computer-inspired styles can be shared soon.
