Christmas: a holy baby birthday party that illicits childlike wonder. But this winter festivus is no excuse for childish fashion. As adults, we must refuse to dress like toddlers.

- It has a very high cost per wear since it can only be donned a fortnight a year.

- It almost always emblazons a lie on your person. For if you can no longer “believe” in something, you can no longer wear it.
