It's the fashion

Well, yes, I have been known to wear one. And, yes, I was the subject of a certain amount of mockery. The Times reports:
Federer did indeed step out in a cardigan yesterday and even though the day was — remarkably, perhaps uniquely for a first day of Wimbledon — coming up to the boil, he kept it on for at least half the warm-up. Is that cool, or not?
It looked a very nice cardy, if you happen to be a cardy sort of man, a cardy you could easily stroll to the fridge in, relax in front of the television in; even, God help you, play a round of golf in. Federer pushed the sleeves back to the elbows for the dashing, “just about to do the washing-up” look.
And now for the amazing bit. He took it off without undoing the buttons. Imagine that. He pulled it over his head as if it were a pullover. Dreadful thought — perhaps the buttons don’t undo.

In fashion, what goes around comes around. So there.
