1. Sometimes I think they are cute

but not the one pictured.

[ChickMagic]

2. Ew - I saw a girl at work wearing one yesterday.

I think they wear them to show off their boob jobs.

[madinmaryland]

3. Thanks for the picture. I had no idea what you were talking about.

:evilgrin:

[dpbrown]

4. Do they get that cold?

This could be the start of a new utilitarian trend.


;)

5. I like them

not the one you pictured but that doesn't mean they aren't convenient.

[Taverner]

6. I like em

But hey - I'm a slut

[Gormy Cuss]

20. post a picture of yourself wearing one.

I dare you. :P

[outofbounds]

7. I think its an Un American/ Un Acceptable way to

turn off the headlights! Un fair cheating advantage!x(

8. I don't understand them

but I'm a man.Why would you buy,like a quarter of a sweater?I bet they cost the same as a whole sweater.

[pitohui]

10. well my male friend kept urging me to get one

he's kind of a fashion nazi, they are not called boob sweaters really, they are called "shrugs" and the point is i think to put focus on a tiny waist while still not shivering to death in an overly air-conditioned bar, casino, or office

they do not really cost the same as a whole sweater and i think they are ugly but to each his own

22. it's sort of an evolved shrug, though.

shrugs came about to keep the shoulders/upper back warm if you're wearing a strapless dress, or spaghetti straps/sleeveless gown. I think they were always more formal (often worn with opera gloves - it can look very nice) but as with everything, have been "casualified".

I don't like them when they're sweaters and tie (they do seem more like dance attire), but I do like them if they're well-tailored thru the arms/shoulders and slightly frame the boobs... very good with dresses. A way to be warm in more formal wear w/o schlepping around in a trench coat or something like that.

29. Gotcha.

I now know what they are raelly called,my wife will be amazed!

[liontamer]

11. there are times when you don't want to wear a whole sweater

The point of this garment is to provide some warmth to your arms and upper back without inhibiting someone's ability to view your midsection. This style was designed for dancers to wear during classes (stay warm, but allow your teacher to correct your torso position). It spun off into the fashion industry (stay warm but show off your lean torso/cute shirt).

9. Sling Low.....

Sweet Chariot....

Cumin' for to carry them home....

[grace0418]

12. Yeah, what the hell?

Why do women insist on wearing clothes that look like they shrunk in the wash?

[AlCzervik]

13. i feel the same way about visors, either commit to the whole item or

forget it.

[Pithlet]

16. I hate visors.

They especially look silly if the wearer has big, poofy hair that hides all but the tip of the visor. It looks like they have a beak growing out of their forehead.

[Redstone]

24. But what's REALLY FUCKING FUNNY is when some clown wears

a visor BACKWARD, like everyone wears the gimme caps!

Hello? Dude? The WHOLE FUCKING PURPOSE HERE is to SHADE YOUR EYES!

Duh.

14. sometimes...

they kind of look like you're wearing a weird bra outside of your clothes

[ikojo]

15. I try to avoid wearing anything that draws attention

to my boobies.

[jane_pippin]

17. Ok, I just spent 2 hours at the mall. Boob-slings EVERYWHERE!

I think it's because that's where they, (the boob-slings), breed--that's why there were so damn many. On people, on mannequins, on the clothing racks--everywhere.

It was freaky. The clerk at the counter at one place had the most ridiculous outfit on, ever. Take that boob-sling in the picture there, and then take away the sleeves so they're short and remove any "extra" fabric (so the boob-sling is nice and snug)--that's what she had on over the ugliest shirt I've ever seen, (one of those microfiber tee shirts with the loudest pattern seen on clothing since 1975), paired with those stupid knee-length shorts that are around now.

Ugh.

On the plus side, not using up my Christmas gift cards until now paid off--I got all kinds of normal clothes for summer for super, super cheap and they were all "free" for me anyway. Hooray!

(I'd have liked to have been out of there faster but MAN! Sifting through all these hideous garments to find the one normal t-shirt on sale takes time.)

Sorry to get off topic--I just haven't been inside a mall in like, 2 years or so, so it was a bit of an experience for me today.

[Redstone]

26. Kind of like an external brassiere, yes?

Don't think I'd find that very appealing, myself. So you're not alone.

18. It allows for the uninterrupted midriff exposure

that today's youth so crave, whilst allowing warmth for the arms and additional "headlight" coverage. It also actually draws attention to the boobs in question. Should've called it the sweaterkini top.

[LeftyMom]

19. I'll keep that in mind,

should I ever develop boobs, or a waistline I'd want anybody to notice. :D

[flvegan]

21. Normally

this is where I might have, in the past, mentioned how nice your boobs are, and how I've noticed your waistline, and find you generally dead sexy baby, yeah! But not now, oh no. Rules is rules, so I won't EVEN suggest these things.

[Redstone]

23. On HER, no menace at all. And not just because she looks EXACTLY

Pam Smith, whom the same I got THAT close to marrying, those many years ago.

Marrying her would have been a disaster, but damn, she was pretty. I'm dead serious...the girl in the picture looks just like she did back then.

25. This outfit does nothing good for me....FWIW...

When I want a little warmth over my shoulders and back, I wear a pullover vest......

:shrug:

[LeftPeopleFinishFirst]

27. I have two

They're comfortable and nice looking if you get the right kind and wear them the right way (which that model is not doing).

[Dont_Bogart_the_Pretzel]

28. Might look better on this lady if....

she had some bigger (.)(.)!

[LeftyMom]

30. That's why I don't wear 'em.

It makes no sense to draw attention to a figure flaw.

[Deja Q]

31. How can that NOT draw attention to the pom poms?!

Never mind the gaping midriff...

[DawgHouse]

32. I hate those.

We call them boob warmers.
