Something Different: Viktor & Rolf’s Christmas Sweater

Sometimes the sentimental sappiness of the holidays proves too much to resist and you have no choice but to embrace it in all its mawkish absurdity. For those moments, why not don Viktor & Rolf’s limited-edition Christmas sweater, from the Dutch label’s Monsieur line? In the time-honored tradition of gaudy seasonal knits, the colorful wool sweater depicts the designers’ coddled dachshund, Little Swan, with reindeer antlers. Yes, a dog with antlers, because Christmas. Be thankful it doesn’t come with jangly tree ornaments.

€480, exclusively at Viktor & Rolf, 370 rue Saint-Honoré, Paris
