German brand Bless collaborated with OXBOW to create these mash-up sweaters. The OXBOW by Bless sweaters come in three different styles, the 3D-Skolpen, Black & White Mountain-Skolpen and Material Mix-Skolpen; each have their own individual, self-explanatory themes.
At first, it would appear that these OXBOW by Bless sweaters riff off of Christmas sweaters, but upon closer inspection they do incorporate several fun and funky patterns, redeeming themselves.
The more you look at them, the more you’ll like them. They’re a cool way to stay hot this winter.
