A quick poll of THE ICONIC’s Creative Team offered up some suggestions as to why, but we didn’t predict how divisive it would be among the team. Whose side are you on?
FOR
- “They’re a great base-layer to showcase jewellery”
- “Simply, they’re warm”
- “There’s something elegant and understated about them”
- “They hide hickeys” (what have YOU been up to?!)
- “I can channel my inner Steve Jobs”
- “It enhances the shape of my face”
- “You don't get makeup marks like you do on a shirt with a collar”
- “If you smell something bad you can cover your nose”
AGAINST
- “You can’t get them on without messing up your hair”
- “They remind me of being in Primary school”
- “I feel like I’m dressed as The Rock for Halloween”
If you’re in the ‘for’ category, find your style for everyday, going out and staying snug, here...
