Just a month ago, the Internet was flummoxed by what retail giant Zara was selling as a cold weather option - a bizarre pair of arm warmers, essentially sleeves attached to a turtleneck ending at the collar bone. The arm warmers triggered a meme-fest but turns out, not everyone thought them ridiculous. Actress Disha Patani was spotted wearing Zara's barely-a-sweater in Mumbai (where sweater weather is mainly theory). This week, the Malang actress was pictured in a bustier-style top and a pair of her trademark athleisure pants, all of it topped by the Zara arm warmers. Do you think Disha makes it work?
We don't know if Disha Patani was actually feeling chilly or if she just thought it a cool look but she fared better in the arm warmers than most would. Disha couldn't sell it to the notoriously hard to please Twitter though. "Is that... a sweater?" one commenter asked incredulously. Jokes about the sweater being bought at a discounted price were circulated.

Twitter shredded the arm warmers when Zara offered them up in December - they cost about Rs 1,790. One confused Twitter user asked, "Hey, is Zara okay?" The tweet prompted hilarious responses with one comment insisting that the arm warmers were "actually pants."
