Grandad, you are a sex icon
Button it - the cardigan is back - Telegraph
Once the preserve of grandads in rocking chairs - the men's cardigan is undergoing a fashion resurrection thanks to male fashionistas like David Beckham.
The garment is flying off the shelves as young men in particular follow the trend set by the footballer and actors like Jude Law and Daniel Craig, according to the supermarket chain Asda.
The store's George label sold more men's cardigans in the first two months of this year than in the past three years, the chain said, with 226,000 sold in January alone.
According to fashion experts, the woollen garment has shaken off its Val Doonican associations - becoming an emblem of cool for gay and straight men alike.
I'm worried now that if I slip my dads old cardigan on to go out to plant some potatoes that I will be recognised for the fashion icon I am and have to beat off the the Beckham worshipping fans, of both sexes, who would merely treat me as a piece of meat to satisfy their base desires, rather than recognise me for the fully rounded human being I am....
Time for a hunt in the wardrobe I think.
