People who "wear" a sweater on their shoulders, or around their hips

casiocult...@gmail.com
Yes, two different folks, same hedious thing they do; can someone tell
them it totally turns my stomach to see it, whether it's the "I'm rich
and I wear my sweater on my shoulders or around my neck" crowd, or the
"I'm cool and I wear my sweater around my waist or hips" ones, that
it's disgusting!
Just thinking about it makes me want to puke!

Around the hips always makes me think they have had an accident.

Then, how do you feel about the visible bra straps and pnatylines?
Crusty heels, chipped polish....?

If this is your biggest problem with other people, consider yourself
blessed.
Yup, I'm guilty. Just the other day, as the temperature climbed, I actually
removed my hoodie and tied it around my hips because it was too hot to wear
it and I didn't feel like leaving it to fend for itself.

I know what you mean. To me whether you're rich or not you still look
stupid.

Normally I tie my sweater around the handle of my purse, or just hold
it. But I have been known to occasionally wrap it around my neck if my
shoulders are feeling chilly, but I'm not quite cold enough to wear the
sweater. And wrapping it around the waist makes sense when you need
your arms free and don't want to worry about the sweater falling off
the handle of your purse, like when the kids were younger and they
needed to hold my hand while crossing crowded parking lots.

That's a bit melodramatic, don't you think?

I've seen the guys that push the sunglasses up to balance on their
foreheads, over their eyebrows. Not sure how they're able to balance
them there––I guess their brows are more prominent than my own––but I
think it looks goofy.

As I've said before when we've had this thread (it's a topic that seems
to come up every now and then) – sometimes it's not a fashion statement
(or a "I'm so rich" statement or an "I'm so cool" statement, for that
matter... why would a sweater around ones shoulders or waist make one
look rich or cool, anyway?). Sometimes, in fact I'd venture to say
*most* of the time, it's just a way to carry a sweater and keep your
hands free.
Example: My husband and I took our dog out for a nice Sunday morning
walk the other day. Most San Francisco mornings this time of year can
be a little chilly, so I had a black, zip front hooded cotton sweater
over my outfit. But it was uncharacteristically warm Sunday, and about
halfway through the walk I had to remove the sweater. With a dog leash
in one hand and keys in the other it was much easier to tie the sleeves
of the sweater around my waist for the remainder of the walk. It's
utilitarian.
Now, I'm not indigent or anything, and I do happen to be quite cool,
indeed, but I wasn't trying to convey rich or hip with the sweater
around the waist. I just didn't want to wear or carry it anymore. It
may not be a look you like, but if that's the most "hedious" and
disgusting thing you have to encounter in your life, consider yourself
fortunate.

Wow. You SO need to get a life. Or a prescription for Compazine.
I think that the "message" most people are generally trying to send
with those actions is actually "I'm not really cold enough to wear the
sweater right now and I want to keep my hands free".

I agree. I'm in Texas, and in the spring it generally gets chilly in
the evenings. If I'm out all day with my sweater over my shoulders,
it's because I know at the end of the day, I'll need it.

You hit the nail on the head. I'm cool and I have access
to my sweater from earlier in the day. When it wasn't.
Cool. But rather. Warm.
Golly Skippy. If "that" makes you want to puke you might
wish to hold off on all things baby for the foreseeable future...
Their art projects alone will have you pinning for the days
when mere sweater placement bought you to your knees. <g>

For the antinauseant effects or the antipsychotic effects?

I thought it would be a convenient medication for both! ;)

What if it is (or was) a fashion statement ?...
A few years back I would add a drop of colour to a dull outfit with a
sweater around the neck (or waist, if more casual) – with the added
bonus that I could actually use the sweater if needed.
I haven't done it in a long time (fashion changes ? or changes in my
sense of fashion ?), but I still think it can be done and work well.

For the same reason, I've been known to have one around my shoulders OR
around my hips.
If people want to think I think I'm or I think I'm cool, that's fine with
me. I assume I don't have much control over what people think of me anyway,
lol.
Today I was having lunch in a nice neighborhood and some French–speaking
women had their sunglasses on their head like a headband. And were wearing
little makeup. Casually elegant, n'est–ce pas, or fashion faux pas? I have
no clue.
