Skivvies?

[Naomi]

Are skivvies cool or crap?

[kayleneross]

I havent seen anyone wear skivvies for ages. I think they are cool but cant wear them as I cant stand things around my neck.:)

[Di Nana]

I hate them, Can't stand them on my neck either, we had them for our high school uniform, bright orange with skimpy brown pinafore :eww:

[Patricia]

The kids wore them when they were little..I think they are quite cute on kids. Its very hard to dress them warm enough in the morning yet not be too hot as the day warms up so a skivvy under a jumper is a good idea sometimes :)

Personally I wouldnt wear one though.

Question time, what is a skivvies?

A skivvie is like a long sleeved T shirt ( usually thicker material tho) here's a link to a picture.

The thing that makes it a skivvy and not just a long sleeve t-shirt is the roll of fabric at the neck. I admit, I wouldn't wear one myself but I do put them on Hugo. Most of his are just high necked tshirts, but he does have one with the proper skivvy roll. It is a brand name though so hopefully he won't be emotionally scarred for life because I made him wear it. I plan on getting him a winter hat that has those ear flaps, so that's probably what will tip him over the edge :Hehe:

My boys used to wear them - up until about prep. Now they both consider them too daggy to wear. I often threaten them that if they don't wear a jumper, I will make them wear one LMAO

My mum wears them. Personally, I don't but thats more because I can't stand to have anything around my neck like that. I don't even really like scarves :no: because of the same thing. They are to restrictive for me :)

[MissieK]

The boys wear them & I have a few - great for cold days. I usually wear a v-neck jumper or crossover top over them to make them look better.

Oh my god I remember these things. My mother always used to make me wear them. Ugh yuk. So far I haven't stooped that low with my kids LMAO Ty has heaps of jumpers that I've gotten from friends so he's pretty much set for winter now. Gav is a weird one and never tells me if he's cold, like one morning I tok him to school and I guess it was a little chilly and here he is no jumper just his shorts and shirt and I'm thinking wonder if he's cold cause 99% of the other kids we seen had jumpers, so I asked him and he says yes mum I'm cold and I'm like aww geez you shoulda grabbed a jumper from home, so now I try and ask him. Errr got a little off topic there but yes I wouldn't wear them ever again I think I was traumatised from when I was little LMAO

[mel35]

I can't stand having anything on my neck either, my kids never wore them with the neck bit, they used to just wear the long sleeved T shirts and a jumper or jacket.

[grammyjo]

Thank you all. We call them turtlenecks.

I hate skivvies, actually I even hate round neck shirts if they are high. I feel like they are choking me. The boys still wear round neck long sleeve shirts but they aren't skivvies in the true sense.

[helen01]

they are o.k alicia has to wear them for school and now it's winter she wears them a lot more. i dont wear them.

[Beverley]

No - I can't stand anything up around my neck either.
What is it with we women? I thought I was the only one!

[helen01]

i dont mind skivvies, but i woulnt wear them that often, i do like the jumpers that have high necks though, very warm.

[GINAinLA]

I thought skivvies were underwear... LMAO I was reading the poll options thinking... What in the world...lol

I like wearing them, we have nice knit sweaters witht he turtleneck also. I have about 2 I think. It is pretty warm here, they arent that needed.

[yomamma]

i voted for I love em but it has to be pretty cold or i'm sick first. In the west i wore them all through winter but don't really need them here. I hate the choking feeling as well

[Supa]

Cant stand the damn things. Mum made us wear them & I HATED them. I used them on the kids when they were babies but that was it. Never again!!

[nj27au]

I can't stand them, when I used to wear them they felt like they were choking me.

[purple_kitten]

I haven't worn one since primary school but I did see some womens ones for sale at BIG W last week.

[Patricia]

**Running to Big W to find a nice purple one!**

**Running to Big W to find a nice purple one!**
LMAO LMAO they had quite a few colours too.

[Naomi]

Patric, they are quite cheap there too, I think it's 2 for $17 or $18 (at least it is at our BigW).

[Patricia]

Patric and running and skivvies all in the same sentence....scary stuff.

Oh and I need to get purple to go with our new AFW netball suit thingos..

[Naomi]

Oh and I need to get purple to go with our new AFW netball suit thingos..

Oh dear. What have I missed?

[Barbara]

Not sure Naomi - but I think we are going to need a pic to understand LMAO

[Patricia]

Go to the hey supa thread and it will all become as clear as mud!

[BeCoolBaby]

I think of skivvies as underwear.

[CarolineBreck]

I thought ya'll were talking about underwear, too! :) I don't wear turtlenecks very often, though, when I am skiing I wear the ones that wick away moisture...

Somehow I feel like that is not what ya'll are talking about, though! :)

[sandydee]

hate them:yes: cant stand them around my neck:yes:
