Which means some early morning walks start in the 50's (sweater on) and end in the 70's (sweater off).
The WSJ helpfully offers tips on how men can look fashionable while lugging around a superfluous garment. [Note: blogger's comments in italics.]
1. The Not-So-Cold Shoulder
Consider this preppy option, which also suggests that your childhood hero was Stan Gable, the preppy hero in the "Revenge of the Nerds."
Sure, the look is cool, but a lot of heat is trapped by draping the sweater over one's shoulders. A classic case of form over function.
2. Tied and True
Master this casual classic by knotting your sweater just above the hips with the back folded.
Bonus: it acts as a built-in cushion for those slab-like outdoor coffee-shop benches.
This is the easiest-to-tie and coolest, in a temperature sense, option. However, the knot will loosen several times in an hour.
3. Chest Bet
Favored by the TikTok set, a knit that's knotted across the torso says "I'm carefree and stylish." Plus, if you injure your arm, say, skateboarding, you've got an instant sling.
Not only is this the most time-consuming configuration to affix properly, but it's only worth the trouble if I were trying to impress those who are 50 years younger. "But when I became a man, I put away childish things (1 Cor 13:11)."
4. Draggadocious Approach
Relaxed and utterly unsanitary, this tactic relays that you're so chill (or absent-minded), you don't care if your knit gets caked in sludge. Wearing a sweater post-drag is not advised.
Given the number of Bay Area creatures that have zero gastro-intestinal discipline when using the sidewalks, you'd better be wearing a single-use sweater if you employ this technique.
