I get why teenage girls wear their sweater over their hands, but guys are doing it now? (1 Viewer)

I don’t watch NFL Network often and never in the morning.  I only watch TV in the evening, unless it is sports.  I might watch the NFL Network before I go to sleep at night, but I couldn’t tell you the names of any of them.

It's OK - I was thinking of The Godfather when I saw the name Kay Adams.

The oversized fashion and being 3 sizes too big is exactly why they do it.  Both guys and girls don’t necessarily “want” it over there hands, but ultimately that’s how it ends up….the sleeve holes are too wide and sleeves too long…their skinny hands and arms don’t stop it from staying at their wrist. It’s just a logistical thing of oversized fashion.

I get the physics of it 🙄   It’s not a good look. 

 
It's OK to not have the same tastes as other people. You don't have to understand everything about everyone that's different from you. Be respectful and move on.

From what I've read they believe it makes them look cute?  I thought that was a given, but who knows why teenagers do what they do.  I was wondering why guys do it?  I think it is more rare, but watching that podcast got me curious.

 
This is a conversation that happened at least for the majority of the 20th cetnury and probably for all of time. 

Why don''t the young people behave like I do? It makes no sense! Look how cool I am. I can't possibly grok it.  

 
I always thought it was because people's hands were cold or that the sweatshirt was baggy with long sleeves that just went over the hands.    I never have thought of it as a fashion point or being done on purpose in a "I have got to have my sleeves over my hands to look cool" kind of way.  I don't think I ever really noticed it as being girl specific either meaning I think I have seen lots of people doing it and it never struck me as a girl only thing.  

 
btw, in case we have FFAppers still shopping out there - anyone, of either sex, doing this is gonna be a lame #### & worse mate. a person who needs a hug from their clothes is not ready for any substantial aspect of life.

That is a little drastic isn't it?  People do all sorts of things for the sake of fashion.  That doesn't mean something is wrong with them.  I may not understand some of it however, like dudes who do this (as stated in the OP), but I understand why girls might do it.

I gave you the answer why on last page.  Style is way oversized hoodies so the arm is too long and wide to stay up on wrist. It’s really not that deep.

Not talking about hoodies.  Just regular sweaters pulled down over the hands.  I specifically mentioned the dude in the fantasy football podcast that does this.

Same difference.  Oversized anything which is the style..the sleeve hole is too big to stay on wrist. 

 
What’s with the trend for guys (mostly young white males) to wear the white tube socks all the way up most of their calf/shin like a 1980 something John McEnroe?

Are the no show/ankle socks out of style now?

You only wear high socks if you are wearing slides

My teen boys do this. I tell them they look like morons. They tell me I'm a moron.

I figure we're even.

Yes, for the younger style, pulled up socks is back.    Another style for them is when wearing joggers, they tuck the joggers into the socks (so the socks are pulled up over the top of their sweatpants)

Yep.   See this all the time.  Looks absolutely idiotic.

 Just googled that.  Not polyester beltless coaches shorts, but they are headed in that direction.
