With temperatures starting to dip, and snow not too far behind one thing is certain “Tis the season of Sweaters!” With that in mind it’s a no brainer that your best fashion staple to protect you from the freezing temperatures is the ho-hum sensible but functional sweater. Yes, most of you men probably have that go-to sweater that has been around the block too many times you know what I’m talking about- the one from the gym to fun filled sporting events with the buddies to even a hot date night! Lucky for you, I have come up with four of my favorite picks for this season to make it the warmest one yet! Read on how to make a heated style statement wherever you go!
PICK 1: THE CLASSIC CREW
Classic elements always seem to persevere in the game of fashion. This definitely is the case with the classic crew, although simple in form it can be quite versatile. It’s the perfect go-to sweater to use in layering and can be the perfect canvas in creating stellar style depending on the color you choose and what you decide to throw over it.
STYLE TIP: Wear it under a leather jacket or over a collared shirt for an extra bit of dimension.
PICK 2: THE VERSATILE V-NECK
Consider this the king of versatility when it comes to sweaters. The possibilities are endless with the v-neck whether you wear it on a date with a blazer and denim, or to the office by wearing it in a suit, or at a sporting event with buddies by throwing it on under a leather jacket.
STYLE TIP: It’s important that you pay attention to the fit when shopping for your versatile v-neck. Don’t go too snug, because this is a sweater that commonly shrinks after washing, so go for one that has a bit of room to shrink. Stick to collared shirts or v-neck undershirts when wearing layers underneath.
PICK 3 : THE SOPHISICATED SHAWL
The shawl neck cardigan is one of those pieces that can elevate your style to a whole new level. This is the perfect combination of winter masculinity combining both elements of warmth and ruggedness into one sweater. It’s great to add under a light jacket to create more of heavier feel jacket.
STYLE TIP: Stick with neutral colors like grey, crème, navy, or black when rocking this piece and it’s important that you get the proper fit. Make sure it’s snug on the your shoulders, and the sleeves end at your wrist while it remains slim fitting down your arms.
PICK 4: THE GAME CHANGER CARDIGAN
No longer is the cardigan reserved for the librarian type and surely is becoming a fashion staple in the modern day man’s wardrobe. This piece is a game changer in fashion and is the most versatile sweater out there. Whether you want to wear it buttoned up or buttoned down, it looks great with dark jeans and a tie for a laid back work environment, or pair with chinos and a t-shirt for a casual weekend look.
STYLE TIP: Look for a fine material sweater cardigan that has a fine thread count like merino wool or cashmere so it can be easier when layering. Always leave the last button unbuttoned when sporting a cardigan that is buttoned.
