Why is everyone suddenly wearing chunky short sleeved cowl neck sweaters?

[MrsSeanBean]

Are they the next big thing?

Any suggestions on good ones?

Thanks.

They are strange -

They have the capacity to make you feel sweaty without actually being warm (yeeuch!).

They bulk out your body, with just your arms and legs sticking out to hint at the slenderness within the bulked out middle (like Big Bird).

One of fashion's oddities.

Lovely with a pair of jeggings, though.

Jeggings & short sleeved boxy knitwear. How to make slim women look fat.

Hideous!What is the point of a short sleeved sweater?
