Pics: Forget about cheesy Christmas jumpers, flamboyant Christmas Suits are a real thing now

Christmas jumpers are so 2013… apparently.

Christmas jumpers are so 2013… apparently.

Instead of the usual reindeer or Santa-themed jumper this Christmas, why not go for a Christmas suit to buck the trend? That’s right, a Christmas suit.

Opposuits are the exact opposite of regular business suits in every way apart from quality and fitting. They come in bright, outrageous colours, whereas business suits are reserved, and the Christmas suits have flamboyant patterns, whereas business suits are boring.

The styles remind us of the leftover wrapping paper torn to shreds on Christmas day after we’ve busted open our presents and didn’t give a monkey about the wrapping.

The suits are not just for fancy dress and, let’s be fair, at a cost of €80 you would want to get a few Christmases out of the bad boys.

OK, so these may be a little out there and you may be called any number of not-so-flattering terms for wearing them, but we don’t care, we really really want one…

Would you brave this down to your local in the days leading up to Christmas? Or wear it down Main Street on Christmas Eve? (bearing in mind it looks better on this model than it ever would on us… or you probably, so stop laughing at us).
