Most of the fashion ads out for the holidays kinda suck. Overly pretty, boyish men and skinny girlish women making weird faces at the camera in some mansion while a mysterious fan blows in their face. Blah.

That's why this ad for retailer Harvey Nichol's by DDB London is so refreshing. The ad playfully follows women of all shapes and sizes wearing their "going out" clothes from the night before, clearly taking the embarrassingly relatable walk of shame. Up until the last woman who is so stylish she can take her walk of shame with pride... because she shops at Harvey Nichol's of course. Nice.

Corn flakes add from 1908, no seductive special K-commercial in sight, yet.
