I don't remember them shifting around, but the uniform coats were quite tight, and the dickeys were quite a bit longer than pictured here--probably half again as long. I wonder if the length makes a difference in the shifting. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-wear-a-sweater-dickie#post-2098707 Wed, 12 Feb 2020 15:29:47 +0000 Lesley 2098707@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love where this thread is going... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-wear-a-sweater-dickie#post-2098667 Wed, 12 Feb 2020 12:04:39 +0000 Anonymous 2098667@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think dickies are the sort of thing that seem like a good idea, but are actually impractical irl! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-wear-a-sweater-dickie#post-2098657 Wed, 12 Feb 2020 10:16:01 +0000 Jessikams 2098657@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Haaaaa!

The ones I recall looked slightly wider in the body which could help keep them anchored. People wore them with V necks, I think.

I will try it under a v neck and also see if wrapping a belt helps to control it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-wear-a-sweater-dickie#post-2098402 Tue, 11 Feb 2020 06:37:10 +0000 Kari 2098402@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Have never worn one, but I like this idea of a non-bulky, neck and head warming layer under a jacket like the first photo rather than a scarf.&nbsp;<div><br /></div><div><a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.universalstandard.com/products/ivy-hood-dickey-eggplant">https://www.universalstandard......y-eggplant</a><br /></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-wear-a-sweater-dickie#post-2098393 Tue, 11 Feb 2020 05:40:08 +0000 Anonymous 2098393@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I suspect that this dicky is too warm for you. Is it long enough so that you can leave a button or two undone. I grew up at a time when dickies were quite popular. Washing out a dicky is so much easier than washing a whole sweater. Try it under a shirt and see if it stays put. You can try pinning it or taping it to your bra in a couple of places. They can work well under a V neck sweater or top. Good luck. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-wear-a-sweater-dickie#post-2098389 Tue, 11 Feb 2020 05:01:32 +0000 rachylou 2098389@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would treat it as a scarf... or wear it under another sweater. I have a sweater ‘collar’. Not quite a dickie, but that’s how I use it anyways. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-wear-a-sweater-dickie#post-2098368 Tue, 11 Feb 2020 03:21:46 +0000 Jaime 2098368@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Absolutely no tips because if I ever tried to wear that it will somehow come out of the next layer and twist around my neck and strangle me. But if I found one like that I would try it under deep v necks I think. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-wear-a-sweater-dickie#post-2098357 Tue, 11 Feb 2020 02:20:15 +0000 Jessikams 2098357@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So, a while back I bought a sweater dickie. It’s sort of like the photo below: just a sort of bib, with a high neck and mine has a partial zip. I thought it would be a great piece to throw under a denim or leather jacket, but now that I've tried to wear it a few times, I am flummoxed. It moves around all the time! And, then if I take my jacket off it looks odd.</p> <p>I think I need to wear it under a shirt, to keep it in place? But it’s such a heavy knit, I feel it would look strange as a bottom layer. Also, then it’s kind of stifling, like a scarf that you can never take off.</p> <p>I feel like I’m missing something. A sweater vest or a scarf would seem much easier to wear. Any tips?? </p>
