Not that this can ''never'' be tacky. It's just if ladies want to look sexy, and the choice is between a halter top or an angora sweater, the latter is far less likely to have the wearer say, "Just because I'm wearing these clothes doesn't make me a prostitute!" It's more the "I'm way out of your league," kind of sexy. (Particularly fuzzy sweaters emphasize this by subtly echoing [[Pretty in Mink|glamorous fur]].)
 
In the days of the [[Hays Code]], once those sweaters caught on, they were almost up there with the heart-shaped neckline as a way of [[Getting Crap Past the Radar]]. Actresses who embraced this look were known as [http://en.[wikipedia.org/wiki/Sweater_girl:Sweater girl|sweater girls]]. There was even a precursor to padded/underwire brassieres known as the "bullet bra" which had distinctly conical cups, designed to make sure your sweater could (ahem) get its point across.
 
Also commonly worn by the [[Seemingly -Wholesome Fifties Girl]].
 
Compare [[Fur Bikini]], [["Happy Holidays" Dress]], [[Sexy Santa Dress]], [[Homemade Sweater From Hell]], [[Form-Fitting Wardrobe]].
