Tying your shirt / jacket / hoodie around your waist

Nostalgia. I forgot this was even a thing until I saw a clip from the new Bill and Ted being shot.

Do people still do it? I haven't seen it in years.

Oink

I do it when it’s too warm and my hoodie doesn’t fit in my pocket.
Glad we cleared that up.

Badly Drunk Boy

I've never done it, but I've also never had a hoodie. I've used jumpers for goalposts in the past, if that helps.

I wrap mine around my shoulders.
Wrapping around your waist....peasants.

You're a conservative, French male, yes?
And your jumper is cashmere and branded?

Mucksavages following ‘the rally’ always do this. The Mitsubishi or Subaru jacket tied around the waist as they look over a rusty gate at some far lad driving a Ford Escort.

Saw a bunch of summer students out on the street and half of them were doing this.

I do it. Saves me having to carry it.

Aw look at Keanu there at the end "You did a real good job at running there buddy, good take. We're doing really well". What a fcuking gent.

I still tie tops around my waist sometimes. I didn't know it was a thing to which people gave any thought. Do people not do it any more? I'm going to be looking out for it now!

I'm not being funny but any Clare people I know still do it.

Boxing.Fan

Still see it a lot at concerts/festivals.

Yeah thats the only time I've done it recently, there's not much else you can do with it except run the risk it gets stolen as usually by the point you take it off its too late to go to a cloak room

Pfft, only soft people wear jumpers and the likes etc. T-shirt all year round for the non wimps...

Only if I'm wearing leggings and don't want to compromise my comfort

I saw a lad last night with his jumper tied down from his shoulder, across his chest and back under his arm. Like a seat belt.

It was not a good “look”.

Nothing “wrong” with tying around the waist but I, personally, would go for loosely around the shoulders/neck.

But surely you will have taken it off because you were too warm. Is it not counter productive to put it around your shoulders?

whiskeyman

just stuff it in yer bumbag.

Be grand.

seamusk84

Yeah I go for the wrap around your shoulders look with my V-Neck jumpers. Makes me look cool:)....Even though my clothes are all bought in Pennys.

So pair of beige chinos/jeans with a polo t-shirt (Optional to be tucked in with a black belt to accessorize) with the V-Neck jumper around the shoulders. Total cost of outfit: €30!

I've never done it

Not necessarily, sometimes it’s a case of “fashion over function”.

You’re doing yourself a disservice there, S. It sounds like you’ve got the “look” down but you’re slipping up with the “execution”.

Anyone worth their “salt” will spot the cheapo ware and then there’s the issue of you turning out for a BBQ or other summer engagement wearing the same shortsleeved pink “Hawaiian” shirt as the other “short-cutters” also attending. While not sartorially impaired you are displaying a lack of “self belief”, you know the old saying “the clothes maketh the man”.

Quick question, when your “sporting” the black belt with your jeans, are you matching it with black shoes? That would be a terrible “faux pas”, while it’s always smart to match your shoes and belt it is, wholly, unacceptable to wear black shoes with jeans.

Going from your earlier description I’m going up assume that you are smart enough not to wear bootcut jeans.

pablo128

I had a feeling that there would be people doing it for the the 'look' alright.

You just used up your years worth of inverted commas.

Sounds like you'd look like you were on day release to be honest..

Still do it regularly, saves having to carry it

I was thinking LA or something like that, where it was popularised.

It mightn't have been so common in Europe during the middle ages.

Pink Heineken polo, popped collars, white cashmire around shoulders, obnoxious sunglasses, blow dried hair.

And off to the rugger match with me.

Nah, that's why I carry a manbag

I do it all the time during the summer. I bring a hoodie with me most days but if its too warm to wear then i'd tie it around my waist, no big deal.

DoozerT6

Used to always do it with the school uniform jumper when it got too warm out.

Don't remember doing it for many's the year now.
