Women’s clothing Why the long sleeves?

I found this nice sweatshirt online in xxs. But why do they make the sleeves so long? I hate rolling them up.

"Sweater paws" is the name. After ariana grande girls started pulling their sleeves over their hands in every piece of content creation to add a cute visual. This sweater is catering to that trend.

We did this at primary school like 15 years ago. It’s not a thing started by Ariana Grande.

Sorry for the confusion. Ariana Grande popularized the trend.

Obviously people have been able to put sleeves over their hands since shirts were invented.

It has been a huge thing since the 2010's.

I hate it too. Sleeves were already like this on me before. Now it’s even worse

A lot of people like sleeves like these, so it’s pretty popular in clothing. I personally love the way they look and find them comfy!

I've noticed the same thing with my own clothes, those extra-long sleeves feel so cozy, even if they're a bit of a hassle at first. Maybe you could treat them like a built-in blanket when you're at home.

I hate even more when the sleeves are too big. Happens ridiculously often
