Also sometimes they lie funny on the body, or can look cheapo. I also do not like the teeny shrunken shrug look on most people. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/to-shrug-or-not-to-shrug#post-914511 Mon, 22 Apr 2013 18:29:37 +0000 rachylou 914511@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I think they are out BUT I've got a fuzzy black one that I'm hanging on to. I think it still works because it has bishop sleeves - an interesting "architectural" detail.<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/to-shrug-or-not-to-shrug#post-913982 Mon, 22 Apr 2013 02:45:13 +0000 Anonymous 913982@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I culled mine, but I wouldn't say that they're dated, necessarily. They weren't really enough to keep me warm in arctic A/C so they weren't really serving a practical purpose.&nbsp;(I put 3/4 sleeve cardigans in the same category.) It seems I deal with temperatures in extremes, 110F outside (no shrug needed) and 68-73F inside (shrug not enough, hand me a parka!).&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/to-shrug-or-not-to-shrug#post-913771 Sun, 21 Apr 2013 23:20:35 +0000 Diana 913771@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I like them provided they are not very tiny.&nbsp; I think the shrugs that look early '00s dated are the teeny tiny ones that basically just cover the shoulders and nothing else.&nbsp; <br /><br />I have a couple that are looser fitting, one of which has dolman sleeves, and I still wear them over sleeveless things in the summer.&nbsp; <br /><br />Do you remember Ingunn's recent post about her new handknit shrug?&nbsp; It had larger, more voluminous sleeves, and I think something like that still looks great.&nbsp; <br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/to-shrug-or-not-to-shrug#post-913715 Sun, 21 Apr 2013 22:08:35 +0000 Thistle 913715@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like them with my fit and flare dresses. They are short enough not to interfere with the line of the dress and they add warmth so I can extend wear into spring and air conditioned buildings. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/to-shrug-or-not-to-shrug#post-913710 Sun, 21 Apr 2013 21:59:38 +0000 Suz 913710@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I tend to think of them as a bit dated (or perhaps not my style) and <b>yet</b>, I still think that in many climates they fill a very serious need. With so many dresses and tops being sleeveless, there are times when you really need some arm coverage! So I would say, let's see what you have in mind and how you want to wear it.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/to-shrug-or-not-to-shrug#post-913708 Sun, 21 Apr 2013 21:55:04 +0000 Deborah 913708@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would love to see it first. Apologies for presenting an opposing view but shrugs were worn to death here some years back. I thi k it was the early 2000's and unless they have experienced a revamp a d have a modern touch Im afraid I find them very dated looking:( </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/to-shrug-or-not-to-shrug#post-913671 Sun, 21 Apr 2013 21:05:50 +0000 claracluck 913671@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ tracey you've rescued the situation straight away ,if you are wearing them im gonna go back and buy that shrug! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/to-shrug-or-not-to-shrug#post-913661 Sun, 21 Apr 2013 20:54:02 +0000 TraceyLiz65 913661@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I hope they are in because I love them and am planning to use them a lot for layering when going in air conditioning! &nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/to-shrug-or-not-to-shrug#post-913652 Sun, 21 Apr 2013 20:31:19 +0000 claracluck 913652@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ just one question are shrug cardis still "IN"?
