Do You Enjoy Wearing Sweaters?

Sooner — Sat, 10 Feb 2024 01:09:55 GMT

I have a bunch of them and pretty much hate wearing sweaters. I do occasionally but they are uncomfortable to me no matter the material or the fit.

They sort of cling and make me too warm and aren't smooth. . . cashmere to cotton and any weave. And yes I know I should get rid of them. I will wear them going out, but never at home.

Is it just me? This from the little girl who wouldn't wear puff sleeves because of elastic or those can can things without something under them.

@Sooner I think a lot of people, like yourself, don't like the feel of sweaters but I love them. I really look forward to cooler weather so I can wear them. I have way too many. I'm always seeing one that I can't resist buying.

I just wore one today...a chunky oversized oatmeal colored v-neck button front cardigan (Talbots) over a denim shirt that has a ruffled placket running down the front with a darker denim jean and oatmeal colored ankle boots. I felt pretty darn cute.

I don't do clingy either.

I do not like sweaters either. They either itch or they are too warm and bulky and if they have a turtleneck....even worse.

Sweaters are my go to winter tops. I also have lightweight ones I wear 3 seasons.

I like the look of turtlenecks but can't wear them.

Yes, I love sweaters. I have quite a few. All of mine are natural fibers...wool, cotton and linen. No acrylic.

I only buy sweaters that come in petite sizes. I don't like those long, heavy, bulky and pilly sweaters.

I don't wear them around the house, but when I go out, I usually have one on.

I don't get too hot. Natural fabrics breath and I am naturally cold.

Yes, I like sweaters, a lot, but since I get hot easily, not bulky. They must be natural fibers, as well, cotton, lightweight wool, and cashmere.

Pullover crewneck, mockneck, only.

Thicker, heavy cardigans in the fall and winter.

@Sooner Ha! That is so funny. Didn't even draw that correlation. Hey, are you from Oklahoma? My dad was born there.

If you live in a cold climate sweaters are a must, at least for me. I can't imagine wearing only a blouse or t-shirt in the cold. I love my sweaters, chunky, ligher weight, or cashmere which I find the most comfortable and warm and I hand wash my cashmere. Natural fibers are best, no acrylic. Even visiting friends in the winter their heat is not running full blast and neither is mine. I wear different weight sweaters from October through March.

No, I'm not a sweater person. I wear long sleeve t's all winter and throw on a cardigan if I get cold.

I love them! They are cozy & comforting & keep me warm in cold weather. When I'm cold, sometimes wear a pullover & cardigan over it.

@Sooner I do not like sweaters. They are uncomfortable. I just want out of them. Furthermore, I have issues with anything that touches my throat. I only wear v-neck, scoop neck, or open collars but no turtlenecks or crew necks.

I live in Arizona so sweaters aren't part of my wardrobe. I do own a couple but rarely wear them. I get to hot in them. A lightweight long sleeved tee is usually enough. If I get cold I'll put on a hoodie.

@Sooner - I prefer to wear a cardigan so I have the option of removing it.

As I am a knitter and I knit sweaters, I guess the answer is yes.

I have some that are good for Fall and Winter and are heavier and then some that are lighter for when you go into a place with A/C when the weather is warmer.

I have quite the collection of those made by me and then more that were bought.

Personal preference.

I love sweaters, but at home it's jeans and a cotton knit top. If I stain anything I can throw it out.

I enjoy the warm coziness of sweaters since I'm often cold in my drafty house. However, they're somewhat of a PIA to care for. All that "lay flat to dry" stuff. I especially like the jacquard knits with designs and if I see one by Isaac, I grab it. I always get compliments on my collection.

I do not like them. Just not comfortable for me. I prefer sweatshirts. Every sweater I have ever owned (and many were really expensive) got small thingies of sweater that had to be shaved off even if dry cleaning them!
