How come cardigans are so massively superior to all the other clothing garments? It doesn't even seem fair, I mean:
- They provide an amount of heat appropriate for both winter and summer, depending on whether you button them up or not.
- Look good when worn over t-shirts, regular shirts, or even (in the bedroom) nothing else at all.
- Even look good when worn unbuttoned with shorts, which is something obviously say, jumpers, cannot do.
- Have buttons, and buttons always look good
- Can slip off easily, without spoiling hair or making you look a bit of a fool in public because your arms are all flailing about and that
- You never need to worry about whether you ought to wear one or not when heading off somewhere, because, hey- you may as well because you can always take it off. In this respect cardigans are a bit like jackets, only even better.
- Women find them irresistible (I would assume).
- Badges make a nice accessory which you can decorate with them at the side.
Anything else?
They make me look less chubby when wearing flimsy dresses
^100000000000000000
I can't remember the last time I wore a cardigan.
I think they only look good on certain people and only suit a certain look that I'm not sure I'd pull off.
The thought of seeing someone wearing cardigans with shorts
has made my laugh so much that I'm afraid I won't ever be able to breathe properly ever again.
Joke's on you
you're missing out.
It's a bit sports casual isn't it?
i just snorted my tea
nah they're a bit ubiquitous
and sheepish
you sure about
Even look good when worn unbuttoned with shorts, which is something obviously say, jumpers, cannot do.
?////???//
I've never been more sure of anything in my life
Have you ever unbuttoned your jumper?
get a room
It was more the
'looks good' part of the sentence I was contesting.

But I see nothing wrong with that picture
NOT EVEN THE UBIQUITOUS INDIE STANCE?
Srsly indie kids, STOP POINTING YOUR FUCKING TOES INWARDS.
Quiet, you'll upset Tristan
I physically can't do that
I'm bow legged. If I do that it causes my knees a whole world of pain. Standing at 10 to 2 is my only comfortable stance.
this was the subject of my first ever thread
good times.
apart from her bloody feet
nothing screams 'cute' like inturned feet. +o(
Excellent, excellent work.
There is so much wrong
THAT I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHERE TO BEGIN.
try us
i wanna hear
okay.
there's not really anything wrong with her at all, but I'd hate to leave you disappointed, so I shall try really hard to come up with a list :(
LIST:
1) the shorts are entirely the wrong length (mid-thigh, wtf?), and very unflattering on her. Plus, they sorta make her look like she has a camel toe :'''''(
2) shorts with cut off leggings/tights make your legs look really short and stumpy, and kind of fat, when she obviously isn't fat at all.
3) the colour co-ordination is pretty crap. Just because these clothes are green does not mean they will look nice together.
4) stripey tshirt, spotty headband/shoes.
5) she looks like a walking claire's accesories shop. She is dripping in unnecessary accessories, f'realz. If she took off the silly sunglasses, MASSIVE earrings, chains, huge ring etc. she'd probably be about 5 kg lighter.
umm...
6) that bag is just hella ugly. The eye-raping green shade is really bad, and AGAIN, just because it's green does not mean it will look nice with everything else.
ummmm...
7) I'm not a fan of the fact that the only colours are black, white and green. It lacks variety.
8) the horizontal stripes on her t-shirt, and the high neck cut make her torso look really square and manly.
9) the feet pointing inwards, and pretend 'awkward' body lolanguage make me sad.
I'm sorry. I couldn't think of a tenth.
Magic
stupid inward pointy feet
CUT OFF TIGHTS
SHORTS WITH CUT OFF TIGHTS
Beige shorts :(
horrible, horrible paris hilton sunglasses
the cardigan is fine though. yay cardigans! (but not EVER on men)
couldn't stop a pig in a passage.
I like them, but i'd get beaten up and disowned if i wore one.
Probably moreso than if i painted my nails and wore a skirt.
Why not do all 3?
No-one's forcing you to just pick one...
Also this
http://www.americanapparel.net/storefront/images/detail/serve.asp?media=RSAD402W_DarkHeatherGrey_Black.jpg
is by far the most superior widely available cardigan.
i love american apparel adverts.
I didn't really notice the cardigan
...
Were you concentrating more on the fact that
someone's nicked the ends of her fingers?
I didn't even notice the cleavage
and SULTRY STARE until I clicked on that link the third time.
I'm such a girl :(
* disappointing girl
same here
i just thought she had a cute fringe
*minge
You can wear it over your shoulders
without putting your arms in the holes like some kind of cape.
Yes, a wooly cape.
It's what all the best superheroes had. Except the ones who actually wanted to fly anywhere or go out in the rain. And John Barrowman.
indie-superheroes then?
Required for indie emergencies?
'Shit, there are no copies of A Heartbreaking Work Of Staggering Genius left in the library! To the rescue!'
You can borrow mine.
I'll even lend it to you wearing a cardi-cape.*
*Its average by the way.
There'd be no batmobile
just a tandem with a flag on it, with one of those baskets strapped to the handlebars.
John Barrowman is not
and has never been a superhero!
^Cynicism
Ya seen Torchwood?
Yes, it's rubbish.
but SOMEONE is convinced that Barrowman was superman at some point. Which he clearly wasn't.
SHUT UP.
TORCHWOOD CONFUSED ME.
Torchwood is AMAZING
as always, with clothes, you are correct.
cardis on boys are great, if they can pull off that look.
all the looks that i like on guys are ones that make me too intimidated to talk to them though, because they're often pretentious twats.
I know I am
(a pretentious twat, that is)
theyre terrible.
then again all i seem to wear are cotton sweaters and hoodies. I guess cardigans are sort of a compromise.
and i realy hate badges.
cardigans with shorts. you need to get STREETWISE whyman.
Yeah, if only I was cool like TheSoundOfBastards and bamos
If only
you don't like badges or cardigans?!?
you're no longer on my 'cool list'.
also, i accidentally clicked 'report this' instead of 'reply'. EXCUSE ME, STAFF OF DROWNEDINSOUND, SOMEONE IS SAYING SLANDEROUS THINGS ABOUT BADGES AND CARDIGANS
i prefer hoodies
the zip ones do all that a cardigan can do, but if its cold/raining can keep your head warm and dry
THIIISSSS^
x lots
I think they are terrible
only 'special' gentlemen, can get away with wearing them
cardigans are good
Red cardigans are AMAZING.
theres a girl who works behind the bar at a bar/club me and my friends go to in bristol
she always wears a red cardi
it always looks dead cool
there's one in each town
she can be the Bristol Red Cardi Girl, and I'm the Cardiff one.
i will have to remember
not to wear my red cardi next time we'll be in the same place
yes
this is IMPORTANT. Did you wear that last time we met though?
i just remember
daniel thought i was you from a distance because i was in red, so i suspect that's what i was wearing.
Unless you've got a red face
that kind of looks a bit weird.
no
you're wrong.
definatly wrong
Red face + red cardigan = overload of red
and therefore a bit scary.
but i've not got a particularly red face
I never said you did...
true
but you did say at first that it would look weird unless you've got a really red face, and then you said the opposite
?
I agreed it would look good unless you had a red face?
OH
I get it now.
as you were
yeah you did
you so did. just because shes norwegian too.
yeah
RACIST
take that back!
what if i don't
I'll move in next door on the other side to your enemy
forge an alliance with them and continously put junk mail and empty pizza boxes through your letterbox.
you can't
my house is just at the end of the street HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA
I'll make sure loads of spoddy kids congregate on the corner
by telling them its where communications lines from the phone companies meet, and if you play music loud enough from your phone speaker you get free ringtones.
I'm not a fan of cardigans on men
Unless they're over 50. Then they become acceptable.
These tight ones are especially uncouth.
the only men that can get away with cardigans
are old men. Or, steve in a cardigan his nanna knitted him. but that's it.
aww, no.
I think they are nice.
I only object to them being worn with shorts.
Srsly, shorts should only be worn on a day where the weather is so hot you would never even NEED extra layers such as a cardigan.
i like them on girls!
but, i just object to boys in cardigans. I'm not sure why, but it's just wrong somehow.
And yeah, cardigans and shorts are a combination that should never happen. especially with cut of tights. and beige shorts. and hideous sunglasses. urgh! :D
also LOL
more shorts and cardigans:
http://www.fashionfillers.com/2007/11/12/red-green-and-black/
I hatehate people who hold their bags like that.
me too
it's impractical! you look like a knob! you're going to poke someones eye out!
but actually that outfit looks ok. I don't really like shorts, but i think that's just because i'm bitter than they make me look stumpy. They look quite good one some people.
Really?
I think she looks shit.
Pretty much everyone I know who dresses similar I hate.
But what if in a hypothetical situation
somebody didn't look good in just t-shirt and trousers, and would rather substitute the trousers for a different item of clothing than take the cardigan off.
that makes no sense
I think he's trying to tell us he's wearing nothing but a cardigan.
I'm also mastarbating furiously
*RALPHS*
OH
also, i have that cardigan i posted. Remembering that im a real person and not an AA model, can i get away with wearing it done up with no top underneath?
yes
definatly.
i have a cardi exactly the same. i always do.
yes!
unless it's kind of sheer like half their clothes seem to be in which case, NO, you massive skank.
its actualy suprisingly un slutty for AA
thats it then, im going to wow my 2:15 philosophy class with some killer un-cleavage
