Marc Jacob’s “Dita Sweater” is a classic piece that can make any look just that much more, for lack of a better word, classy.
But there is something a little bit different about this sweater, which features a Peter Pan collar and black buttons.
The collar and the buttons are fake. Not that there is anything wrong with that: often times when I wear shirts with buttons, they get caught and tear my shirt or fall off, never to be found again.
However, this sweater does remind me of something my father likes to wear on “special occasions,” not unlike five-year-old celebrity children.
The infamous tuxedo t-shirt, worn by fathers and little brothers alike, can turn the excessively formal dinner into a laughing, and extremely embarrassing, matter. As much as I love Marc by Marc Jacobs, I just can’t get over the similarities (well, sort of) that these two pieces have.
Lovelies, would you wear a shirt with fake buttons or other embellishments?

Lol, before scrolling down I immediately thought of the tuxedo shirt when I looked at that sweater. I don’t like it; I think it’s kind of silly-looking. I would wear a shirt with buttons sewed on that don’t actually correspond to buttonholes, but I don’t know about buttons/collars that are just printed on. I’m thinking no.

It’s not that bad actually. I’m a little on the fence with it lol

I think the main problem is the model. She’s trying to look so cool and chic when the sweater is supposed to be kind of whimsical and fun, like most of Marc Jacobs’ garments. The model sucks. The sweater is pretty cool.

I’d say they are definitely not meant for formal events…just your everyday funny/ cute- shirt.

Am I the only one who read this as “fake bottoms..”? lol Oops.
No, I would not wear a shirt like the two pictured above. I think they are ugly.

I have no problem with fake buttons, as long as they don’t fake pop open, and expose my Fake boobs!
