He is 6’, and is very displeased that we are moving to Berlin at the end of the month. The suspense/unknown is probably the worst part, so he should be fine once we are there. The area we will be living in is very international, so I’m curious how he’ll feel about that. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-wear-sweatshirts/page/2#post-1939883 Sat, 21 Jul 2018 13:28:49 +0000 Cee 1939883@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No, my very last sweatshirt was long ago demoted to a dust cloth, Bridgie !</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-wear-sweatshirts/page/2#post-1939857 Sat, 21 Jul 2018 12:16:18 +0000 bridgie 1939857@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fashintern, thanks for weighing in.&nbsp; You always have good suggestions.</p> <p>Others have mentioned a sweatshirt dress.&nbsp; I am somewhat intrigued with that idea.</p> <p>I have missed you.&nbsp; I hope your plans are working out well for you and that nice looking son of yours.&nbsp; What is his age now?</p> <p>Thanks for asking about the (incident).&nbsp; My signature car, an older, but well cared for Mustang convertible was totaled when someone playing with her GPS ran a red light.&nbsp; I was not hurt seriously.&nbsp; The worst part was having to shop for a car.&nbsp; A few people asked me if I was going to get a convertible.&nbsp; I did not!</p> <p>GeeCee&nbsp; I bet you have cute sweatshirts.</p> <p>Windchime, you have expressed my almost exact feeling about sweatshirts!</p> <p>Sal, Thank you.&nbsp; Good to hear from you.&nbsp; I read everybody's posts but do not post as often&nbsp;as I did there&nbsp;for awhile.</p> <p>jussie, well, you do have pretty colored sweatshirts.&nbsp; And you have figured a way to make them work for you. :)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-wear-sweatshirts/page/2#post-1939827 Sat, 21 Jul 2018 10:23:14 +0000 jussie 1939827@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well I’ve always thought dressy/funky sweatshirts look cute, but I haven’t tried one for myself. I have two super casual blue sweatshirts (one icy blue and one cadet blue) that I wear for lounging or walking, they have a nice fit and colour and they kind of co-ordinate with my track pants and athletic shoes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-wear-sweatshirts/page/2#post-1939824 Sat, 21 Jul 2018 10:03:19 +0000 Sal 1939824@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a hoodie that I love. I wear it all the time at home, walking or to the gym. I don't have any other sweatshirts as such but I have had some in the past.</p> <p>I tend to prefer zip up sweatshirt jackets to put on over a tee when it cools down. But cardigans or even soft jackets fill the same role.</p> <p>Nice to hear from you Bridgie. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-wear-sweatshirts/page/2#post-1939726 Sat, 21 Jul 2018 01:24:54 +0000 Windchime 1939726@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is a good question because I’ve been surprised to find my sweatshirts very challenging to style. I own two; one of them I think should theoretically look great with a skirt and sneakers, but when I try the outfit, it never feels quite right. And the other is very nice quality, and I expected to wear it casually with jeans, but again, it never feels right, and I’ve relegated it to loungewear/exercise.</p> <p>I wonder why styling them is difficult? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-wear-sweatshirts/page/2#post-1939657 Fri, 20 Jul 2018 23:00:47 +0000 GeeCee 1939657@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I do for loungewear, but I stick to those with something a little extra (zipper, grommets, ties on sides). They're too comfy to shun! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-wear-sweatshirts/page/2#post-1939422 Fri, 20 Jul 2018 16:39:26 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 1939422@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was just wondering if I want to pack or pitch this red sweatshirt. The periwinkle one, my favorite color, was too stretched out, so it left long ago. Ditto the oversized sports team sweatshirt from a guy I dated. </p> <p>I hadn’t realized I was cutting out that category, but I don’t think I have any others. I don’t wear wool sweaters either. I do wear heavy cotton sweaters, and layers, layers, layers. </p> <p>What I do have are sweatshirt dresses. They are cozy and, as long as they hold their shape, easy to wear. And for the past two years, I’ve occasionally borrowed a zip up hoodie from my son. </p> <p>Btw, Bridgie, how are you? Last time I was around, you were convalescing from an accident. All better now? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-wear-sweatshirts/page/2#post-1939098 Thu, 19 Jul 2018 20:17:56 +0000 bridgie 1939098@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank each of you for your replies!&nbsp; This has been so much fun and interesting to me.</p> <p>I will be very honest, that nothing has been said to make me decide to pursue one immediately.&nbsp; I neither love nor hate them. </p> <p>In case anyone has forgotten, I am 84, and can be very indecisive sometimes.&nbsp; I still like clothes so much that if I see something (and I often do) I will stretch the budget just a little or( sometimes more)&nbsp;to&nbsp;buy it.&nbsp; However, the point I am trying to make, I can never justify buying a sweatshirt!&nbsp; There are two or three in the NAS sale that are cute.&nbsp; If I do order one I will post the outcome. :)&nbsp; Thanks again for humoring me.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-wear-sweatshirts/page/2#post-1939035 Thu, 19 Jul 2018 17:47:54 +0000 Suz 1939035@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the dressier or more interesting versions both for loungewear and (occasionally) out of the house. I had a navy sequinned one that I enjoyed several years ago, sadly worn out now. And I have a sweatshirt dress that I adore for casual wear in winter.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-wear-sweatshirts/page/2#post-1938968 Thu, 19 Jul 2018 15:21:03 +0000 Ledonna N. 1938968@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes I do.

But not much last winter, I didn't even think of them. Probably will try them again when it cools off. I don't think regular length sweatshirts are that complementary on me - too bulky. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-wear-sweatshirts#post-1938585 Wed, 18 Jul 2018 21:04:37 +0000 Anonymous 1938585@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>love hoodies and just ordered one from NAS, to replenish and has yet to arrive.&nbsp; I have two fave sweatshirt-like sweatshirts, if that makes sense, I've had for awhile.&nbsp; Both Lou &amp; Grey from the Loft.&nbsp; So soft and comfy.&nbsp; called&nbsp;Signaturesoft Lou &amp; Grey.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-wear-sweatshirts#post-1938584 Wed, 18 Jul 2018 20:57:41 +0000 Anonymous 1938584@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can’t bring myself to wear one out of the house. I’m a very casual dresser so you would think i’d be ok with them.<br /> I’m not sure what the hang up is. Maybe they need to be more fashion-y.</p> <p>Love them for around the house. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-wear-sweatshirts#post-1938556 Wed, 18 Jul 2018 19:32:30 +0000 Janet 1938556@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like some hoodies and sweatshirts that have some fashion-y detail, graphic, or treatment for casual wear. But I tend to like hoodies more. </p> <p>True plain sweatshirts don’t really do it for my style, but I have a couple of classic old LLBean ones at the ranch. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-wear-sweatshirts#post-1938546 Wed, 18 Jul 2018 18:44:18 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 1938546@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a couple dressy ones that are more like tops that happen to have raglan sleeves. The traditional boxy shape and bottom band aren’t good on my figure. I find hoodies and cardigans more versatile and comfortable. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-wear-sweatshirts#post-1938531 Wed, 18 Jul 2018 17:42:22 +0000 delurked 1938531@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I haven’t in years, but if the fabric and drape were right, I’d be open to them. I’ve never been a fan of the boxy big sweatshirts on myself, and almost never need them for warmth. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-wear-sweatshirts#post-1938528 Wed, 18 Jul 2018 17:38:10 +0000 bridgie 1938528@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>wow, thanks all, for the response.&nbsp; I will be back later to read more thoroughly and reply.&nbsp; I have had one busy day and now off to dermatologist. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-wear-sweatshirts#post-1938488 Wed, 18 Jul 2018 15:36:54 +0000 texstyle 1938488@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I only own one true sweatshirt and haven't worn it the past year or so. It's kind of boxy feeling. I do like this lighter weight sweatshirt v-neck. But it's not technically a sweatshirt I guess. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-wear-sweatshirts#post-1938475 Wed, 18 Jul 2018 14:51:05 +0000 Anonymous 1938475@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><div>The closest thing I own to a sweatshirt is a hoodie that I keep for cool evenings at the beach or hiking in early fall.</div><div>I admire how other folks look in them but when I look in the mirror I feel like I look frumpy (perception problem-probably)<br /></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-wear-sweatshirts#post-1938459 Wed, 18 Jul 2018 14:17:45 +0000 LaPed 1938459@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You bet! Here's a sampling of my sweatshirt "capsule" -- not shown are two zip-up hoodies from Patagonia with really cool graphics. The crewnecks I usually wear with trousers in the winter, or as a layer over a short dress paired with leggings. I like the shrunken/cropped fit of these. The hoodies I wear every single morning, for breakfast and dog-walking. I don't mind wearing them out and about on a casual day -- the boxy one from Everlane is good over skirts/dresses and wide-leg pants; the two Patagonia hoodies are longer and better for wearing over slim jeans or running/yoga tights. I've also been known to layer my sweatshirts and hoodies under blazers. I'm always looking to dress down my more office-y pieces. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-wear-sweatshirts#post-1938450 Wed, 18 Jul 2018 13:49:37 +0000 Bijou 1938450@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No I don't have any but I admire them on others. I have always loved the look of the Kenzo tiger sweatshirts, but cannot bring myself to pay the $$ to own one. There is something about paying a lot of money for a sweatshirt that I cannot bring myself to do.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-wear-sweatshirts#post-1938447 Wed, 18 Jul 2018 13:43:33 +0000 Becky 1938447@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've only owned the "gear" kind that I wear for loungewear at home. I know there are lots of other options out there, but I don't care for the silhouette enough to search for one suitable for other use. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-wear-sweatshirts#post-1938437 Wed, 18 Jul 2018 13:24:37 +0000 Elizabeth P 1938437@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><div>Absolutely.&nbsp; They are great for round the house stuff... easy to wash.&nbsp; For the past few years I've been on a major hunt for a "nice" sweatshirt, one that I wouldn't' mind wearing out of the&nbsp; house.&nbsp; Previous ones have all been plain and boring, or from some event.&nbsp; For some reason this has been a real HEWI for me.&nbsp; Colours were wrong, proportions were wrong, they had brand names or saying on them that I couldn't relate to...you name it.&nbsp; But in the last couple of months, I've actually found two, so I'm good.&nbsp; Although I'd still take a dressier one if it came my way. One thanks to Mainelady, and one is BR.&nbsp; The BR one has seen a lot of wear, have yet to cut the tags on the Airplane mode one ... it does need to be worn in the right situation :)</div><div><br /></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-wear-sweatshirts#post-1938404 Wed, 18 Jul 2018 12:23:23 +0000 Molly Mac 1938404@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love that sweatshirts now come in fun stylish shapes and prints. I have a blazer that is made from sweatshirt material that I basically live in during the cooler months. I also have two from J. Crew that I wear as toppers over sleeveless dresses in the Fall and Spring allowing these dresses to be three season items instead of one. They both have sleek cuts and dressier details such as Pom poms on one and lantern sleeves on the other. I wear traditional athletic cut sweatshirts but only to the gym or hiking. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-wear-sweatshirts#post-1938387 Wed, 18 Jul 2018 11:40:45 +0000 always trying 1938387@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have several and wear them a lot also hoodies over t's with jeans, joggers, yoga pants, swaet pants, etc. They are perfect dog training wear.&nbsp;&nbsp; My complaint is so many the necklines are too big. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-wear-sweatshirts#post-1938385 Wed, 18 Jul 2018 11:26:18 +0000 Jessikams 1938385@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I do wear them, especially if I’m spending part of the day at home, because I have cats. A washable sweatshirt is much easier to deal with than a dry-clean-only sweater— when it gets too fuzzy with cat hair, I just throw it in the wash!</p> <p>These days sweatshirts come in many cuts, with various neckline styles, so I think anybody could find one to love. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-wear-sweatshirts#post-1938379 Wed, 18 Jul 2018 11:00:35 +0000 kkards 1938379@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>i do, especially in the early fall and spring when the weather isn't cold enought for a wool sweater, but not warm enough for just a shirt/tee....i like the ease and softness... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-you-wear-sweatshirts#post-1938378 Wed, 18 Jul 2018 10:54:49 +0000 The Cat 1938378@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I usually don't wear sweatshirts because in general I don't think the bottom band flatter my hips. However, a couple of years ago, I had a grey sweatshirt with an acceptable fit. It was mixed materials (the arms were glittery), and I really liked it. I wore it for both casual and more dressy occasions and styled with e.g. pencil skirts and chic pants. Sadly, it looked "worn" after about one year. If I see something similar again, and at a reasonable price, I may be interested, but I am not on the lookout for it.</p> <p>Unless sweatshirts are dressy or mixed materials or are worn in an intentional way (colour and/or style wise), I tend to think they look boring. But I know they are comfortable, and I have nothing against others wearing them. </p>
