Billy Cos? Is that You?

After seeing the new Kanye West video, "Welcome to Heartbreak". I was inspired to answer the age old question, "What happened to the Cosby sweater?" Now I know what you're thinking, but it's true the 80s are back, they've been back for about 2 years now, and yes the Cosby sweater is too back.

Kanye had a beautiful geometric print Cosby on in the Welcome to Heartbreak video and I must find one similar.

Side note: he's growing a fro mullet. (As reported by the Fug girls at New York Magazine.)

Now for those of you that have no idea what I'm talking about, the Urban Dictionary defines the cosby sweater as:

1. An oversized, hideous looking sweater with ugly patterns and colors, often worn by old men or hipsters with no taste.
2. A sweater a senile colorblind person would pick out.

Another side note: The urban dictionary also defines the cosby sweater as:

1. The multi-colored lint left in one's ass crack after wearing flannel boxer shorts.

LMAO! Oh Urban Dictionary, how I do enjoy your intelligence...

Anyways, if you would like to look like Billy Cos and Kanye W, fear not. I'm here to tell you where to get you some sweaters!

As reported before, Matthew Williamson for H&M is coming to a city near you, well equipped with colorful Cosby sweaters for men. Diesel has many a sweaters for the guy or girl who can handle all the Crayola crack. And well all can't forget Coogi. Once on white high-society golfers, now on young black men who wear the sweaters with matching jeans and a matching girlfriend compliment. Yuck.

For more info on well...Kanye? Go to www.mtv.com. That video is so good.
I'll be in search of my Billy Cos, Crayola Crack, Kanye cardigan. Thrift store here I come.
