I'm generally sitting. I do it for comfort rather than style, though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sweater-tied-around-the-shoulders-look#post-1786521 Sat, 11 Mar 2017 19:56:03 +0000 Anonymous 1786521@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Don't judge, but I do this from time to time. It's practical for hot days where I expect to need a sweater indoors due to air conditioning. </p> <p>Tricks are: unless you have a very long neck, the sweater should be thin (those knitted silk sweaters that aren't popular right now are ideal - so is "summerweight" cashmere); the sweater needs to be a waist or high hip length sweater, not a long boyfriend cardigan; must have long sleeves (3/4 won't work); if it's a cardigan, button every button; and fold under the top of the sweater so the part that rests against your neck is straight. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sweater-tied-around-the-shoulders-look#post-1786420 Sat, 11 Mar 2017 15:11:52 +0000 unfrumped 1786420@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Agree Joy. Shoulders help, and it's also a static look-- standing around drinking mint juleps--not for activities. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sweater-tied-around-the-shoulders-look#post-1786417 Sat, 11 Mar 2017 15:02:48 +0000 Anonymous 1786417@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It probably has something to do with one's shoulder shape and size or how fast one moves. I don't think it works for me because I walk too fast. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sweater-tied-around-the-shoulders-look#post-1786416 Sat, 11 Mar 2017 15:02:37 +0000 kkards 1786416@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>ok, 80s prepster checking in...there are some secrets to making this work....i just can't seem to remember what they are....can i recommend a scarf instead? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sweater-tied-around-the-shoulders-look#post-1786412 Sat, 11 Mar 2017 14:46:39 +0000 unfrumped 1786412@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can't pull this off. Nor the Milania Trump coat- over- the-shoulders look. And don't like feeling like things are slithering off.<br /> Is there some other " look" that gives you the same vibe? Maybe a big scarf. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sweater-tied-around-the-shoulders-look#post-1786410 Sat, 11 Mar 2017 14:43:44 +0000 Rambling Ann 1786410@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>maybe I should knit a scarf that looks like the sleeves, LOL.

Not sure. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sweater-tied-around-the-shoulders-look#post-1786206 Fri, 10 Mar 2017 23:06:41 +0000 Cee 1786206@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thinner lightweight sweaters work best.</p> <p>The chunkier ones make you look like a sheep has you in a headlock. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sweater-tied-around-the-shoulders-look#post-1786196 Fri, 10 Mar 2017 22:05:44 +0000 Rambling Ann 1786196@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was looking through some of my pins and I saw a couple that used the old sweater tied around the shoulders look to elevate the simple tee and pants. While I like the look, I've never been able to pull it off and look graceful. Is there a trick? What kind of sweater? Can mere mortals living life without a stylist sidekick following us around for street photos make this look good in real life? (Feeling like I missed an entire of seventh grade semester of how to be a girl class about now.) </p>
