Fruit cake has a reputation of being the least favorite dessert come the holidays. When it’s made poorly, it’s stale, dense, and a mere hodgepodge of candies put into batter. But despite the things that you know about fruit cake, there are elements to it that can be appreciated. It’s consistent, full of color, and always a conversation piece during the holiday season. Take all of the good things that come with the dessert and make it work for you with our guide to how to match the infamous fruit cake.
Supreme Undercover Gilapple Light
A fruit cake is nothing without apples and even though this isn’t something that you can wear on your body, you can still have your space showcase your affinity for the holiday treat. In 2016, everyone’s favorite brand, Supreme, partnered with the Japanese brand Undercover on a capsule collection. The pieces included Undercover’s popular Gilapple figurine, which was reminiscent of their 2015 collaboration with Medicom Toy. It came with a built-in light and is designed with Supreme’s name printed on the side. Make this apple the centerpiece of the dining room table, set your fruit cake right next to it, and people will never doubt your love for the holiday dessert ever again.
Nike Air Zoom Spiridon Cage 2 Pistachio Frost
Despite its name, fruit cake isn’t just made up of fruit. It is also filled with a mix of nuts. Pistachios are commonly found in the festive dessert and can also be put on your feet. The Nike Air Spiridon takes the cake when it comes to pistachio-colored sneakers. And, although there are many kicks that bear the same hue, none quite like a Spiridon can help add comfort to your feet as you jump from one family home to another trying out various slices of fruit cake. Nike’s famed Air Technology and smooth perforated suede let people know that you value staying cool and comfortable in your look, even if it resembles an annual cake.
adidas Yeezy Boost 350 V2 Cream
If pistachios aren’t your thing because of some sort of nut allergy, how about a little bit of cream? Not every fruit cake comes iced up, but others tend to be unique, just like you. The Yeezy 350 V2 Cream from adidas is the icing on the cake of any outfit. You will, however, ruin the sneakers if you try to spread it on cake. Keep this cream on your feet and mix together some powdered sugar, vanilla, and milk if your fruit cake is a bit on the bland side.
Kith Coca Cola Cherries Crewneck
If there aren’t any cherries in your fruit cake, then you essentially have just a cake. Cherries MAKE the fruit cake, and they will make your outfit too. Streetwear label KITH hit the sweet spot with their 2018 collaboration with Coca-Cola, as the two dropped a cherry-filled collection of pieces to commemorate the cherry-flavored beverage. One of the pieces was this grey crewneck with embroidered cherries throughout. This reverse weave cotton sweatshirt will provide total warmth as you take bites of your unequally attractive fruit cake.
Casio G-Shock DW5600SB-3
It’s almost impossible to cut into a slice of fruit cake and not see those fluorescent green candied cherries inside. There are so many in just one cake that they practically poke out of the sides. So if you’re planning on dressing to the nines in fruit cake attire, you need a suitable piece of wrist candy to make your outfit complete. This G-Shock from Casio is just the thing to give your outfit the final touch it needs. It’s as translucent and as gummy as those green candies, the only difference is if you try to take a bite out of this you’ll either get an electrical shock and/or break a tooth.
