That was a thing back when the preppy look was popular. I don't believe it's coming back but if you do see it in New England beach towns.


@chrystaltree Some of us it never left, and it has been a mainstay for part of my wardrobe since the 1960's.  I never want to wear what's "in."  And I don't really like shopping for clothes either.  So 'splains a lot I guess!  Woman Embarassed

Re: Sweaters Tied Around the Neck

Hey!........As someone mentioned, we don't have to worry about the size of the sweater......We can wear any size over our shoulders, even Boys or Girls and/or  Tweens' sizes.  

 

(I'm serious, btw.)   I sometimes 'waltz by' (that's an old one)  the Boys' or Young Men's Depts. on my way to somewhere else.

Some of those Fall/Winter sweaters are nice. 

Maybe even in the Girls' Depts., too.

 

It's finally nice to know that fashion size doesn't matter in this case. 

'More or less', 'Right or wrong', 'In general', and 'Just thinking out loud ' (as usual).

I agree. My husband calls it the mama Dallas look- from the show! I don't wear it but I find it very crisp and polished.

Re: Sweaters Tied Around the Neck

I never understood why "Preppy" gets such a bad reputation. 

 

It's so classic and timeless that you never, ever have to worry about something becoming dated or out of style.

 

I love it!

@Trinity11 You made the sideways remark that I thought was a little uncalled for.

I have no idea what a sideways remark is but I only read the OP's question. Please don't assign your anger and blame towards me because I happened to have said something you disagree with. Plenty of posts you make @Sooner I disagree with but I have the good manners to keep it to myself.

 

Have a nice day and the subject is closed for myself, so please don't expect me to engage again in this conversation.
