Keep in mind, however, that while Dorks In Sweaters don't ''look'' dangerous, that does not mean they are necessarily harmless. The various HiddenBadass tropes may apply. A character may look like this when he's (or she's) obligated to wear the HomemadeSweaterFromHell. This trope can overlap with SweaterGirl if the lady in question is more of a HotLibrarian than a conventional bombshell, and CuteOversizedSleeves if the character is adorably dorky. Also TheSmartGuy of a group usually could dress this.

* In ''WesternAnimation/InsideOut'', two of the [[AnthropomorphicPersonification Anthropomorphic Personifications]] of emotions, both decidedly dorky, wear sweaters. The first, [[TheEeyore Sadness]], has an oversized white turtleneck that comes across as the kind of thing someone would wear on a gray, gloomy day. The second, [[NervousWreck Fear]], has an argyle sweater vest paired with a bow tie. Both Sadness and Fear are among the smarter members of the emotion team: Sadness studies operation manuals and knows the most about inner workings of the brain, while Fear's duty involves him being CrazyPrepared and thus researching as much about danger as he can.
