Grandparents and hipsters get all the best prints. Think about it – if certain patterns feel nostalgic to us, only grandparents and hipsters get to wear them. Ugly Sweater Parties have served not only as a popular topic for Facebook photo albums, but also as incubators for the famous ironic apparel trends from our generation’s Special Snowflake hipsters.
I say it’s time for a pattern free-for-all. I want Nordic-inspired grandpa sweaters without caring whether or not it’s ironic. I want it because my parents rocked them in the 80s and it’s a positive memory! Besides, while the patterns may look the same, there are tons of updated shapes and cuts.

love these! long live cute sweaters, ironically worn or not!
Both fair isle and argyle patterns make me super nostalgic. I remember one fair isle sweater in particular, circa 1988 from Nordstrom. Ok, now I'm dating myself...
