Fred Rogers Posthumously Declared "Hip"
Rolls over in grave

mrrogers.jpg

Fred Rogers (Mister Rogers if you're nasty) passed away in 2003. A figurehead of early television, a father-figure to generations of children and an ordained minister who promoted understanding rather than division, his death was mourned universally.

Well, except for the fashion industry. Those cold-hearted bastards rose a glass and started celebrating. Why? Because they could finally start charging $800 for button-down sweaters again.

OutStylelist has a rundown of the runways and the new designs marking what the fashion industry is calling a—get this—"cardigan renaissance."
