You’ve probably seen Gucci sell grass-stain jeans Louis Vuitton launch face shields with gold studs at luxury pricing but have you seen a sweater that’s not exactly a sweater? You’ll have to look at it to figure out what we’re talking about actually.
Zara is now selling ‘arm warmers with a turtleneck’ at Rs.1890 and they’re basically sleeves with a neck. Or a cropped sweater. Or shrug. Or …we don’t really know!

Twitter thinks these are specifically designed for cartoon characters. Some have tried to come up with explanations of its possible use too, take a look.

This is the sweater equivalent to wearing your mask below your nose.

It’s like a shawl lol. But with sleeves. Ha. It’s fashion.

Wow, that sweater is missing some sweater. Without the rest of that sweater the person wearing the sweater could get a cold, or flu, or covid. Shouldn’t buy sweater even if 50% off, no deal for half sweater

You can wear it in bed while scrolling on your phone. Your arms won’t get cold.

“My arms and neck are freezing, but my chest, back and stomach are boiling. Do you have—oh, what’s this ridiculous garment?”

Having said that, a few people think it can actually look great if styled well. Here are some examples of people doing it.

This is perfect if you need some extra sleeves. Why don’t they do this with pockets too?

You laugh now but one day your neck and arms are gonna be extra cold and you’ll regret the lack of coverage your sweater vest offers

As someone who wears a lot of tank top style dresses and wants to wear them in winter, I actually see this as a very practical addition to my wardrobe 🤔
