I very rarely tie a sweater around my shoulders as I keep my sweater in my bag.

I think of the sweater around the neck as a northern thing. No one down here does it, seriously. Only place I've seen that done is on tv or in a movie from the 80's.
People do tie sweaters around the waist here though. It's common for girls of any social group to do this. Guys either wear or don't wear, but don't often take them off or put them on based on weather change. If it'll warm up later, you wear a jacket and leave it somewhere when it warms up, or simply go cold in the morning. Only the snobbiest of the snobs would actually wear that down here, seriously. I'm not trying to put anyone down, that's just how texans are.
