If you are obsessed with the [Disney](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cinderella-capsule) movie Frozen and are also looking for a way to stay warm this winter without melting, this Olaf shirt is a great option. Available from ThinkGeek, the I Am Olaf Ladie's Hoodie has a [full zipper](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zip-off-holiday-sweater) with fake printed buttons going down the front. While the body portion is snow white, the sweatshirt's sleeves are brown to emulate branch arms. On the hood, Olaf's face is visible as well as four fabric twigs that stick out of the top. One of its best features is the kangaroo style pockets.

The Olaf shirt is made out of 60% cotton and 40% polyester. It is machine washable and can even go in the dryer.
