Yes, they're gimmicky and impractical imo and it has become hard to find a proper cardigan/sweater that covers the full upper body since they became trendy. Very annoying!

It depends on the chick - if she is sexy anything she wears will look good If she's not then nothing she wears will ever make her look better.

Strange. Lots of negative feedback on this one. Actually it turns my head... on the right girl. I guess it doesn't work on everyone but a small-breasted, thin-shouldered girl with one of these on will be able to catch me looking at her.

I really like them and have a few. They can look lovely on the right people. They were very handy for summer too, if you were going out and didn't wanna bring a jacket.

...or prepare for the caning of your life

On topic: As Angel said, they do look lovely on the right people but like nearly every type of clothing/every style they don't suit some people.

i dont think that at all ferdi, you just never struck me as someone who'd be interested in fashion /me shrugs. in fact i didn't think there would be any guys really interested in fashion, and look how wrong i was!

anyways i think they can look ok on some people. i wouldnt bother with them myself, not into fashion fads.
however if you're on the larger side in the stomach area they REALLY accentuate that, you have to have the right shape for them i reckon (and be wearing other nice stuff too i guess)

i really with this, if a girl has a stomach, they're not the most flattering choice, i myself wouldn't wear them as i unfortunately belong to this group

Some of them are nice! And they're useful in Ireland if you want to wear a pretty top when it's cold, but you don't want to cover it up in a jacket. They're also useful for girls who don't like their arms but want to wear nice tops! Have you noticed that the only dressy clothes available in most tops are sleaveless? I for one am not too happy with my arms so they come in very handy!

I have some of these from 2-3 years ago and I still use them if I am in work and am wearing a sleaveless dress and or dresses that show a bit of cleavage but want to cover up more in work. Some of the newer ones look less well and a decent crochet shawl or cardigan often looks better.
