To get the rage at 3/4 length sleeve jumpers

[Orangeanddemons]

Why why? If I'm buying a jumper to keep me warm l want full length sleeves to cover my arms. Why don't my lower arms count or need keeping warm? Are they different in some way?

I reckon it's a cost thing.

I hate full length sleeve jumpers. Makes me feel all claustrophobic. Even when I buy full length I push them up.

YABU. Another sleeve pusher upper here :)

Yep, I push my sleeves up to - sorry OP

*too!

I'm with you OP! It's definitely a cost thing, skinny this, cropped that... drives me crazy.

I dislike them because my arms are short like the rest of me! So they don't fall in the right place

I also push my sleeves up! My DMum and I like 3/4 length sleeves. Not sure about her but I must have abnormally long arms so full length sleeves are too short and look like they've shrunk in the wash.

I never wear long sleeves.

Any wrist length sleeves are pushed up to just below my elbows, full length sleeves get right on my last nerve

I'm currently wearing a jumper that I have automatically pushed the sleeves up on.

3/4 length sleeves apparently suit my shape anyway.

YABU

But where are you looking as I don't often see these.

But isn't the function of a jumper to keep you warm? All bits of you? Including the lower arms? What's different or special about them?

I have arms like a gibbon. Normal jumper sleeves aren't long enough on me. 3/4 length stop at my elbows

Hate three quarters of anything! Full length everything for me ta ;)

I've been looking for a white/cream cardi. They all have 3/4 length sleeves

Yeah but you can say that about those fingerless gloves too! And footless tights.
What about when you're doing the washing up and don't want to get your sleeves wet? I have full length sleeves that are too baggy to be able to roll up. Or when you're washing your hands after using the toilet?

Totally with you OP. It doesn't help that I have broad shoulders, so sleeves are generally a bit short anyway.

Many a time I've been muttering about cold wrists and tsking at the stupidity of jumpers with 3/4 length sleeves...

this or this why?.

Hmm - I wonder if I need a new cardi.

No - I don't notice but did used to think the same way about very low V necks - they whole wouldn't you get cold. Now I wear them - I know it's not an issue.

I'm only little so they are full length on me. I love them.

Well fingerless gloves bug me too! I never ever seem to have a problem with washing up and full length sleeves.

I do have a problem with cold wrists though

I trail cuffs in stuff so I like 3/4 length. Sorry.

I love them feels really elegant for some reason

Yes, I'm with you, OP. I have to reject loads of styles I like because of those pesky 3/4 length sleeves.

They look elegant, but the purpose of them is pretty shit.

Love 3/4 sleeves, way more than full length ones. And not all jumpers are intended only for warmth.

Well what are they intended for?

I have a degree in Fashion, and spent years as a designer. I now teach design.

The cornerstones of good design are aesthetics v function . A 3/4 length sleeve jumper is not functional IMO. The other design philosophy is form follows function. Again 3/4 length sleeves do not do this.
