Short sleeved cardigans....whats the point?

[ThisBoyDerekDrew]

If I want to wear a cardigan it is because I am cold. I want the whole thing to be snuggly warm...sleeves and all.

I have seen some gorgeous grey cardigans with a wide collar today only to be disappointed that someone has chopped the sleeves off.

Short sleeved polo necks is another thing I don't get.

If I want to be warm I want my whole body warm. If I want to be cool I want my whole body to be cool....

Lol at name. Haven't heard that for years!

They are lovely with a long sleeved top underneath.

Indeed...I was Please Mrs Butler a few weeks ago....

One of my favourite poems.

This is about looking stylish and not about being practical

layering
freak

none

even worse those 3/4 length sleeves

either I want a sleeve or not. I don't want a sleeve that looks like it shrunk in the wash.

Um.

Some of us have fat upper arms and/or other unsightly blemishes and want to cover up a bit without wearing full sleeves.

Is that ok?

I loathe FULL LENGTH sleeves, they feel weird and always roll up to 3/4

fraek

I have a 3/4 sleeved one on now and keep pulling the sleeves down

In the summer/spring they are fine but in colder weather I don't see the point of short, cropped or 3/4 length

I have been known to turn a Gentleman Callers head with the daintiness of my wrists, so will wear 3/4.

1. I wear them over a dress when I don't want to show too much arm

1. I have gibbon arms so full length ones never fit anyway.

I have loads of short sleeved cardigans.

i got a fab dark grey swing one from marks two eyars ago and aalthough it shouldnt suit a be norked one it is SO handy
i wear the dreaded marks perfect top under it

with your chav 3/4 jordan joggers?

far worse is short sleeved suit jackets, as seen mainly on ladies coming from essex to liv st.

My arms are so long that nothing is ever full length on me - short sleeved cardigans at least cover my bingo wings without adding to the menopausal heat

yes
ha! i have left the house in them today

I wore my jazz pants round the park

i went on a(nother) feline rescue mission

no point getting dressed up for that

I agree with Cybil - v few parts of my body are good but I have lovely wrists! Am seriously considering a bracelet sleeved coat and wrist warmers this winter.

Yes. What is wrong with clothes designers? Cardigans/jumpers/coats are all meant to keep you warm. Why have short sleeves on them? Drives me mad. You see a lovely cardi but it has short sleeves. And 3/4 sleeves are the work of the devil. All this nonsense about being able to show off a watch or jewellery. It's about saving on the seller's costs I think.

I tried to wear one once, dh thought it was hilarious.
I just look stupid in them. They look nice on others
