Does anyone else hate 3/4 length sleeves as much as I do?

[loveyoutothemoonandback]

I can't stand them - but nearly everything has 3/4 length sleeves now, when are they going to get over this fad??? I hate it when you put a cardi on over a top with 3/4 sleeves (and you have to, because you're cold) and they just ride up inside the cardi sleeve, it's so uncomfortable. I'm really cross now.

I have long enough arms without 3/4 sleeves making them look frekishly long! Grrr.

I have some and I don't like them but they are better than overly long full-length arms which hang half way down over your hands

ZZZZ - i love overly long sleeves - I have the option to cover my hands if they get cold!

I bloody love them [grin[

I really like them...sorry op!

I love them. I have long arms so sleeve length is an issue.

I have lovely wrist jewellery so 3/4 sleeves work for me.

What not to love? Practical, stylish. I love them

I hate them, just don't see the point, especially on coats!

I hate them.... Not as much as finish-at-the-elbow ones. They cut my shortish arms in half and make them look much fatter than they are

I love them. I'm on the small side, so full length sleeves hang over my hands, end up trailing in everything, get filthy. On me, 3/4 look a million times better, are more practical if I'm busy and show off my bracelets!

I get what you mean about the cardigan/jacket thing - I have perfected a weird manoeuvre when putting on cardigans and jumpers, or suit jackets. Put hand in sleeve of jacket, shove spare hand up jacket sleeve, grab end of 3/4 sleeve shirt, hold on, pull jacket on. Then let go of 3/4 sleeve and pull spare hand out. Works every time.

I love them. I have the wrists of a consumptive Victorian, and I'm damn well going to try and convince people that I'm "delicate" all over. Jacket thing - I have some 3/4 length jackets too...

I hate them too.

But (and I don't know how true this is), I was once at a hen do where there was a stylish booked for entertainment and one of her 'rules' was to always wear 3/4 length sleeves or to push long sleeves up to that level. She said it emphasised your waist as the sleeve cut-off point is kind of at waist height.

I get too cold to ever give it a try but she was pretty convincing at the time...

What use are 3/4 sleeves now in this cold weather
Please make winter dresses long sleeved ( so my thermals can go underneath!) . A cardigan can spoil the look of a dress.

Love them

Don't mind them at all but I absolutely hate the look of short sleeved jackets. Eugh!

I like slim stretchy 7/8 sleeves (as I am short some 3/4 are 7/8 on me) but hate anything that rides up. 7/8 are long enough to keep you warm but short enough to keep out of the way. 3/4 sleeve PJ tops are freezing as are shorter sleeves on coats especially the wider sleeves that funnel the wind up your arms.

"She said it emphasised your waist as the sleeve cut-off point is kind of at waist height."

Eh? I find that three quarter sleeves end at the point as the lower hem of the garment and so make a wider silhouette. Not a good look.

I've just measured it on me -waist height is elbow, not 3/4.

But it's bloody freezing!

"I hate long sleeves unless its freezing. Constantly pushing them out the way, and they just feel uncomfortable."

But it is freezing. It is January and we have snow. Where I live it will be cold for another four months at least.

I saw a lovely jumper the other day and was tempted to try it on. When I picked it up and saw that the sleeves were only 3/4 length I put it back. Surely the whole point of a jumper is to keep you warm. When the weather is warm I don't want to wear a jumper or 3/4/length sleeves. I prefer short sleeves or sleeveless.

I agree with you loveyoutothemoonandback. 3/4 length sleeves are utterly pointless and impractical for those of us with long arms.

Love them. Great for petites

I don't particularly like them but they are OK in a summery cardigan. But M & S has or at least had coats with three quarter sleeves. Now that is totally mad.

I love my 3/4 length sleeves.
I wish there were more of them available. I hate sleeveless tops and dresses with a passion.

I find them hugely unflattering and it annoys me how hard it is to find any other sleeve length.

Elbow length I like.

"I wish there were more of them available."

I wish there was a choice of tops in 3/4 length and full length sleeves. Then us long armed people who feel the cold easily are happy and so are you.
