This Thanksgiving, don’t just show up with a cheap bottle of wine and your fat pants. Be prepared with a shirt that can handle a day of overeating and spillage.

With Dirt Pattern Material, by Stockholm-based designers Mair/Wennel, the shirt comes pre-stained to save you the embarrassment of spilled wine, gravy, or whatever that is that your crazy aunt made.

The pattern is even on the back, just in case you’re a reeeally messy eater. Find out more here.

Coffee, Tea, and Fruit Juice Stains as Art

Whereas most people would be breaking out the club soda or Zout, artist Angela Mercedes Donna Otto turns spilled drink stains into works of art. Using something called “apophenia” — an innate tendency to construct order amongst chaos — Otto takes the random patterns of deliberately-spilled drinks, then connects them to create perceptible characters. See more of Otto’s work here.
