Sweaters

Carolina925 — Mon, 05 May 2025 11:57:08 GMT

I admit that I don't watch QVC as much as I used to but it sure seems there are lots of long sleeved tops and sweaters on now. We're into the 80s now and it seems to me that all these long sleeved fashions should've been aired about 4 months ago. I like a lot that I've seen and could save them for October or November but the loud colors wouldn't work for me then. I know there's a lot to choose from but it just seems to me, when I tune in, that there are more sweaters/long sleeves than I used to remember.

Lucky you!!

We have barely cracked 50 and I am wearing ALL long sleeves. Still wearing BFD cardis too.

I would wear these all summer anyways due to AC blaring everywhere I go and esp at work.

@Carolina925 I live far into Florida's south and I use long-sleeved sweaters many days - although because I've lost so much height already, a 3/4 sleeve one works well, too.

Unlike when I lived in the Northeast, I wear sandals, cropped bottoms, and light sewaters year round.

While some Forum members don't want my possible purchases included occasionally now, I haven't purchased anything but a small amount of skin care and some food for more than 6 months now. There is no EVERYBODY!

Still in the 40s and 50s here in Chicago--I'm not complaining! Recently bought 2 sweaters and have not put my long sleeves tops away. Not looking forward to hotter weather.

I live in South Caroline and, while the outdoor temps have been in the 80's for a little while now (and will get hotter soon), I found myself buying 3/4 and long-sleeved blouses/tops to wear through the summer--lightweight ones, of course.

The AC everywhere is so cold, especially at my church, that I need something on my arms when indoors. I do have some elbow-sleeve things for when I am spending time outside--which is rare.

I seem to get cold more easily as I've aged.

@vermint

I agree....while I have always run cold....now I am super cold!

Our church cranks the AC so much in the summer, I keep an afghan in my car.

Can't tell you how many go by and say....'I need to do that' LOL

(yes, I have requested it be turned down, but they are trying to make everyone happy. Easier for me to bundle up, than others....well, you know.

My climate is cooler than most of the rest of you and my arms have some scars, so I love long sleeves and sweaters. It really depends.

I won't be wearing anything with long sleeves until Thanksgiving if I'm lucky. When it's 115 outside the cold cold air conditioning feels great.

@Carolina925 Yes, I agree. In years past at this time of year, more summer clothes were offered. Now too many sweaters & long sleeves.

The weather where I am is crazy, it's 70's one day and back in the 30-40's. I always have long sleeves year round depending on the temp.

We've had temps in the 70s and 80s already, but yesterday and today are cooler with highs in the 50s and 60s. All my clothes for all 4 seasons are in my bedroom closet and dressers so it's easy for me to pull whatever I need whether that's a sweater or a short sleeve top. Just depends on the weather. Eventually the cool temps will go away completely, but I still use cardigans & light weight jackets inside due to AC blasting.

@Carolina925. There have been earlier discussion on the lack of summertime clothing. I quit buying long sleeves two months ago, and have brought very little this Spring 'cause there hasn't been much to buy.

QVC needs to realize climate change has affected the way we dress. It's getting warmer earlier and stays that way longer.

Same where I live. Temps are so varied now. Today it's supposed to be in the low 60s, tomorrow high 70s and then on Wednesday back to the low 60s. Hard to plan on wardrobes being seasonal anymore.

Exactly!

I've thought about the afghan myself, probably will do it eventually.

I used to run hot all the time, cold is better to me!
