Clothing that is given as a gift to you as a gift from family. It usually consists of some type of fruity colored sweater, a hand knit accessory, or other item you would never wear. But because you love the person who gives it to you, and you don't want to make them feel bad, you wear it out of guilt.
Kid: Thanks for this bright orange sweater grandma.
Grandma: your welcome sonny, I knit it all myself. How 'bout you try it on for me.
Kid: Sure grandma thanks a bunch.
(later...)
Kids friend: What's up with the gay sweater? it looks like a stylish piece of guilt couture.
