"I saw a girl in the Walmart yesterday wearing black biker babe boots with straps all over them and these weird sleeves on her arms that hooked around her thumbs with no fingers on them."

She may have been wearing an outfit that used these as a fashion statement, but they have also long been a feature on some cold weather clothing. These thumb loops or thumb holes are very handy for keeping sleeves tucked inside of gloves, preventing a gap in coverage.
