samssong Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 (edited) In the early sixties at the Lacarno on London Road the fashion was for the lasses to wear their cardigans back to front and the lads to turn their V necks around to make a crew neck . Did you.? Part of Sheffield fashion history along with hoola hoop skirts and drainpipes. My mrs ses that lads used to undo the cardi buttons while sat behind the lasses ont bus.

rainbow2411 Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 I wore my cardigans like that in the early 60's and that fashion had a short resurgence in the 80's, I worked on a stall in the Sheaf Market selling ladies jumpers and for a little while we couldn't get enough of them to fill the demand. No lad ever undid my cardi but they did seem to enjoy watching me go upstairs on the bus wearing my hooped skirt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trastrick Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 lol when i read that bit i thought you were going to say you sold backwards cardigans Oo Why was is that young lads could open all kinds of fasteners on ladies clothing with one hand, while the ladies themselves always need two?

Whit Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 I worked in the telephone exchange in Pond Street in the late 1958's and the supervisors told the operators not to wear their cardigans back to front. Seems the buttons were tempting to the engineers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
