By LaDonna LaGuerre Probably the best part of the holidays, we like to indulge in all sorts of festivities and traditions that the season has to offer: decor, music, confections, shopping, family time, and parties. When it comes to fashion and clothing trends, few are as whimsical as the universally beloved ugly Christmas sweater. Leave it to Jayson Tatum — who loves clean aesthetic and simple, elevated looks — to evoke a festive concept and turn it into a high-fashion statement worthy of Thursday night’s “ Ford Fit ” worn ahead of the first matchup of a doubleheader against the Bulls.
A post shared by NBC Sports Boston (@nbcsboston) Does this count as an ugly sweater? Does this count as a Christmas sweater? As viewers, we get to interpret the fashion choices of these players and consider what story, if any at all, might they be telling with the brands they represent and the designs they show off when they walk the tunnel. Tatum took to the runway wearing a Charles Jeffrey LOVERBOY Scots Wolf sweater. The graphic knit, which featured a rendering of a wolf wearing bright green socks that contrasted with red accents from the wolf’s tongue and bloody claws, sort of suggested the playful spirit of the ugly Christmas sweater tradition.
But the grey background and edgy design helped Tatum maintain his signature understated style. While Tatum might do trendy, colorful, or even cheeky , rarely (if ever) does he do tacky. Here, Tatum did avant-garde playfulness, which LOVE.
