Philosophy di Lorenzo Serafini revisits the iconic Christmas sweater

Philosophy di Lorenzo Serafini has launched a capsule collection dedicated entirely to the festive season on the label's e-store (www.philosophyofficial.com). The capsule revisits the star of the season -- the Christmas sweater, sometimes dubbed the ugly sweater -- in two fun and festively feminine styles.

This "Dear Santa" capsule collection from Philosophy di Lorenzo Serafini features a small selection of apparel and accessories celebrating the holiday season.

The traditional Christmas sweater takes center stage, revisited in merino wool. It is available in four colorways (red/white, red/black, dark green/white, black/red) and abounds with festive motifs such as reindeer, hearts and snowflakes. The front of the sweater reads "Dear Santa" and the back says "I've Been Naughty."

The Philosophy di Lorenzo Serafini capsule features a second sweater with a shorter cut and a turtleneck for a decidedly feminine look. Also in merino wool, this sweater, available in red and white, reads "Team Santa" on the front and "25" on the back, all surrounded in snowflakes.

Fronted by Sara Sampaio, this Christmas capsule also includes high-waist denim mini-shorts with red stitching and a "Team Santa" patch, an oversized hoodie and a scarf, all channeling a similar theme.

Available online and in stores, the collection retails from €175 (scarf) to €395 (hoodie). The two Christmas sweaters are priced €350.
