From Cosby sweaters to matching, novelty Christmas knitwear your grandmother insists on the entire family wearing over the holidays, distinctive sweaters hold a special place in everyone’s heart. They aren’t just confined to long-forgotten gifts--distinctive sweaters are now worn to show affinity for a particular person, place or thing.
Even graphic hoodies that let you pretend you’re a storm trooper or a skeleton have their appeal. You can even gather your known associates together to throw a party dedicated to distinctive sweaters.
