APE ARMS?

Shanus — Tue, 07 Oct 2025 13:46:08 GMT

I'm noticing many sweaters have extra long sleeves, balloon sleeves or no cuffs, so they hang loosely around my hands.

Yes, I've tried petites and same thing. Anyone else finding this?

Oh @Shanus your thread title made me LOL!! I haven't bought any tops lately, but I certainly have noticed it on models.

@Citrine1 I haven't ordered from Q because the models hands disappear under jackets/sweaters.

I was at the mall over the weekend and tried sweaters in several stores. I guess this isn't my year to purchase any. Lol

@Citrine1

A tad impractical.

I like my sweaters to have extra long sleeves so they cover my hands and keep them warm. Most sweaters don't have pockets.

I think it's trending right now to wear oversized sweaters with long roomy sleeves. I've seen it in jackets and coats too. Not my style.

So ridiculous--kinda like the new barrel jeans---really weird looking especially when they are too short!! 🫤

@Citrine1

Even men can't escape the monster sweaters.

LOL LOL. Thanks for the great laugh @just bee . If I ever saw a man dressed like that in public, I might actually have to stare.

Can you imagine handwashing one of these and stretching it out somewhere to dry? For days?

These pictures are hilarious.

Yes wear these oversized, ginormous sweaters if you want to trip over yourself

and break your ankle, just to look what these odd people think is fashion.

I was watching QVC on Monday night and they started talking about wearing and

buying a size up or two in your normal clothes, who does that?

At 5'9" I like the trend because most of the long sleeved shirts and sweaters I have ordered this season are just a little too long for me. That's a treat! It doesn't happen often.

Yes I have noticed and don't care for it! Plus I'm an apple shape and don't need more width at my sides with full arms!!!

@just bee Exactly. Thanks for posting photos.
