If you’re in search of a garment that can envelop you in comfort and provide a much-needed escape from the chaos of everyday life, look no further than the “Leave Me Alone” Sweater. Perfect for introverts, those prone to awkward moments (guilty as charged), or simply overwhelmed moms seeking a retreat from their little ones—it’s the ultimate solution for anyone in need of personal space.
Designed by the talented Emily Thompson, this innovative sweater was inspired by a chilly day at work. She envisioned a versatile piece that could be styled three different ways: as a cowl neck, off the shoulder, or in the fan-favorite “Leave Me Alone!” configuration. It’s not just a sweater; it’s your personal sanctuary.
As Emily puts it, the sweater allows you to signal your desire for solitude instantly—whether you find yourself at an airport, a bus stop, or a lively gathering. With its tunic-like length, you’ll feel free to go pants-less if that’s your vibe!
In a recent conversation with Emily, she shared some of the most common feedback from her fans, and unsurprisingly, one question stands out: “Do you have it in black?” It seems we’re all creatures of habit.
Emily is considering adding features like “eye holes” and brightly colored zippered mouths—making it easier to breathe while in ‘leave me alone’ mode. As a mom myself, I can’t help but suggest the idea of children’s sizes without mouth holes—imagine a mobile time-out station for parents on the go!
Positive responses online have only fueled Emily’s crowdfunding campaign. Supporters can vote for her design on her Betabrand page, and those who participate can save up to 30% on their purchases. The comments are delightful:
- “I want 30 of these!”
- “Since I get easily annoyed by people, I would love a men’s version too, please!”
- “My wife would probably wear this all day.”
- “Currently listening to my kids squabble in the kitchen, and I wish I could zip myself into this magical creation right now.” (Okay, that last one was mine.)
Once enough votes are gathered, Betabrand will bring her vision to life, and we can only hope this gem goes into production. Just think of the relief it would offer during the hectic spring concert season!
I recently found myself in a packed public restroom with my 5-year-old, and oh boy, did I wish I had that sweater handy during the following exchange:
Me (holding the stall door shut): “Are you doing okay in there, buddy?”
Him (yelling): “Did you know if you bend over while you’re pooping, you can watch the poop coming out of your butt?”
Short of a trapdoor opening beneath me, this sweater would have been a lifesaver. With three little ones at home, I need this cozy creation in every color!
