pulling down arms, not trews, I hope.....

beachyhead · 14/03/2005 17:25

as for no arms - no way, people peek at my bra thru the armhole......

Hate 3/4 sleeves - I spend my time wanting either to push them further up or pull them down to my wrists.

LOL, was just about to say I love 3/4 trews too and that I always wear both, but then realised that I'm wearing long sleeves and longs jeans today.

obviously not always then.

I think it's rude to show a shapely ankle

SeaShells · 14/03/2005 17:34

I love 3/4 trousers, I have a butterfly tattoo on my ankle so love showing it off

ThomCat · 14/03/2005 17:35

Never really given it much thought, but they're okay. Have a couple of tops with 3/4 length sleeves and at least they don't end up soggy from doing house stuff and washing hands etc.
They're a bugger for being able to cuff your snotty nose on though, doesn't work half as well!

Personally I like really long sleves as I like to kind of hold a bit in my hand iykwim.

ThomCat · 14/03/2005 17:39

Oh and on the subject of 3/4 length trs, yes yes yes, all summer long and even in winter with a bit of a heeled boot.

JoolsToo · 14/03/2005 17:42

don't you find though that once a trend has started you'd better not be wanting something different because you won't bloody get it

bias cut skirts are my all time nightmare - they say they flatter you - not if you're pear-shaped they don't!

NomDePlume · 14/03/2005 17:43

I like em.

piffle · 14/03/2005 17:46

I like em!
I have really nice shirt with 3/4 sleeves
people all say it makes me look thinner!!!
I have plenty of thick knit cotton zip up cardigan tops for when the chill hits though!

Demented · 14/03/2005 17:47

I've got one one now but with a long-sleeved fleece over it.

Katemum · 14/03/2005 17:47

Thomcat, I'm a sleeve holder too .
Hate 3/4 sleeves!

I don't think anyone looks good in 3/4 length trousers unless they are pencil thin, a la Kate Moss.

beachyhead · 14/03/2005 17:52

now Jools, bias cut skirts are great for hiding a bit of a tum, so I love them....look at Fern Britton - bias all the way.......

JoolsToo · 14/03/2005 17:55

I've got a flat tum though but huge hips and a fat @rse!

can't stand 3/4 trousers, quite like sleeves - have v. nice Per Una blouse, sleeves feel v. glamorous!

ThomCat · 14/03/2005 18:16

I'm not pencil thin but I look grrrreeeeaT in 3/4 trousers, actually

nutcracker · 14/03/2005 18:17

I look ok in 3/4 trousers and long boots, but not in 3/4 trousers and flip flops. I Just look like a right short arse then, which i am really.

ThomCat · 14/03/2005 18:19

Ohhhhhhhhh, i think you're all weird. How can you not like 3/4 lenght trousers.

3/4 length combats and flip flops in the summer, has to be done. What else are you wearing in the summer, other than skirts, if it's not a pair of 3/4 length pair of trousers what the hell goes on your legs????!!!!

Right off to find examples as I refuse to believe you can all hate them so much!

ThomCat · 14/03/2005 18:41

these one are okay
The biege and blues ones both priced at 28quid

I can't find anything else and spending too much time trying to find an example of what I mean and getting bored!

jane313 · 14/03/2005 18:43

I love 3/4 lenght tops/shirts cos i have psoriasis on my elbows and they cover it.
