No, I’m not talking about people who sweat a lot in the summer (which would include me). I’m talking about the article of clothing called a sweater. As I was walking to work this morning a man walked by me wearing what appeared to be a summer sweater. Essentially, it was a standard sweater but with short sleeves.<\/P>
\n

What’s the point? <\/P>
\n

I mean, during today’s morning commute it was already 76 degrees and humid outside. The temperatures are expected to approach 90 by the afternoon. I suppose if his office cranked the air-conditioning he might want the sweater for warmth. But there are still no sleeves to it so I don’t see how this article of clothing would solve that problem. If anything, it would make sense to just keep a sweater in the office.<\/P>
\n

It also looked rather silly. I mean, the only person who has ever been able to pull off the non-winter sweater ensemble was Matthew Broderick as Ferris Bueller – and that was a button-up sweater vest with white t-shirt. That look worked on him…as he played a high school student…in the mid 1980’s.<\/P>
\n

But fast forward nearly two decades, and increase the age of the man I saw this morning to his early 40’s and it didn’t quite work.<\/P>
\n

I don’t know – perhaps I’m not judging his fashion so much as I’m simply jealous that he doesn’t appear to be as affected by the heat and humidity as I am.<\/P>
