Chill “it” – Armwarmers
October 24, 2006 at 7:59 am , by shelley
Not a fan of legwarmers, but arm warmers are a whole other story. Especially when they mean that I can wear the season’s cute short sleeve tops (abundant despite the chilling weather). It’s probably part of the layering trend – and I found the most cuddly, stylish pair at Urban Outfitters.
The super-soft long knit armwarmers have a thumbhole and large opening for your fingers. The grey ones have a button tab cuff at the top, while the olive ones I picked up have a cuff at the top finished with a row of 3 brass buttons.
Armwarmers aren’t new, but these are more hip than plain acrylic ones that started last year. I’ve even noticed some nice Juicy Couture versions popping up.
P.S. I noticed online the Urban Outfitter ones I bought are listed only as acrylic – wrong. They’re a nice blend of acrylic, mohair and wool = soft.

oh too cool, I never heard of arm warmers, but I like it. Perfect for out here in Cali.

This is strange! I’ve never seen it, or heard of it. I wonder if it is available here in South Africa?

I’ve noticed them again this season in lots of little boutiques and accessories shops. But this year they’re not as bulky, nubby. They’re sleeker and tons in black and greys.
