Swants (Sweater Pants): The New Ironic Winter Wear

Labradoodles, skorts, linners, those mutant toys from Toy Story; two things fused together can be better than one. That’s why professional knitter Stephen West has developed an entirely new kind of apparel, swants— sweater pants.

Because, as West writes, “Your booty deserves to be just as warm as your torso.” Following his instructions, you can create the luxurious item simply sewing an old ironic sweater.

Warning: they will make you dance to Bjork. Because once you’ve converted a sweater into a pair of pants, your only option is really to dance to Bjork.

Now please turn your attention to some Pulitzer-Prize for Feature Photography worthy photos of people reaching self actualization by wearing these gifts to mankind, courtesy of West’s blog.
