Can three quarter sleeves be worn in winter?

I mean this type of blouse. Can I wear it inside of a warm place even in winter when it is super cold?

I think so, yes, if you are likely to be warm enough yourself. I sometimes have difficulty wearing a 3/4 sleeve top under a jacket/blazer (the different sleeve lengths feel weird to me), which would be my only hesitation, but I think this is a cute top that would be perfect in the fall/winter.

I don't see why not.

Of course, just wear a full sleeved coat over it when you are outdoors.

I think it would depend on how you run temperature-wise yourself. I for one always tend to be cold as a rule, so 3/4 sleeves would drive me nuts in the winter. It just feels strange to me to have part of my arm exposed. However, if you tend to run more on the hot side, I imagine that 3/4 sleeves would be OK.

It seems 3/4 sleeves would be something you could wear year round with layers if necessary. If you are comfortable temp wise, than why not, I say!

I'm with Gigi - it drives me nuts too. I don't like the feel of it under something else and I can't feel warm with some of my arms uncovered. But it is just a personal thing - could easily work for you.

I wear them in the winter on their own. I don't, however, like they way 3/4 length sleeves feel when layered a jacket.

Others have made a good point about how the sleeves feel under a jacket or coat. I find I always need an extra layer between the top and a coat when wearing this length of sleeve in cold weather.

You certainly can if you find it comfortable.

I've mostly given up on 3/4 sleeves in colder months because I get so annoyed with them getting bunched up when I try to put on a jacket or coat over them. I figure I can always wear a full length sleeve and scrunch it if I want more uncovered arms.
