Few items can be as multifunctional as a nice sweater. Whether you’re defending against the cold winter’s bite or simply pulling over a layer for slightly chilly summer evenings, sweaters provide both warmth and a sense of fashion
Although sweaters are generally made to be worn on top of or with other shirts, they don’t necessarily need to be neutral colors. Many men and women find that they prefer argyle sweaters. Argyle sweaters have a n easily recognizable diamond pattern and come in all different colors. Argyle can add a classy, more professional effect to a pair of dress pants or jeans. Argyle sweaters almost always come in muted, classic colors, like navy, tan, maroon, and brown. They can be an excellent addition to any wardrobe.
Many men prefer a much less ‘busy’ look, however. A high collar or turtleneck sweater can also give men a sharp, tailored appearance with none of the worries of button-down shirts. These sweaters can let men to fly out the door looking sharp, without a care for ironing or starching. Turtleneck sweaters are almost always one color, and probably a more neutral color, so they can be accompanied by just about any pair of pants. These sweaters will not only look fashionable but will also keep you warm in the colder times of the year.
A cardigan sweater should also be a worthwhile addition to any wardrobe. Cardigans usually have a V-neck collar and button up the front. Cardigans can also be more neutral in color, although many men are increasingly buying cardigans of more showy hues. A nice cardigan sweater made out of a durable fabric can last many years. They also have not evolved much in trendiness during the past years, so an investment in a nice sweater now can be enjoyed for years to come. A sweater can allow a trendy man to snazz up any outfit and gives him the option to act chivalrously should his female companion become cold.
Other sweaters are bought to be paired with collared shirts. It is very easy to find a sweater to pair with any collared shirt, whether it is plain or patterned. Men can choose contrasting colors to make the collared shirt stand out, such as a white button down shirt with a red sweater. You can also pick a sweater to match one of the colors in the pattern to have a complete, well thought-out look. Adding a tie can also lend any man a sharp, dressy look without the need of a sport coat or blazer.
Some also employ the sweater vest. A sweater vest can accentuate a man’s collared shirt, not to mention his physique. Pair a sweater vest with a matching button down shirt for a sharp look. Sweater vests can also be important in offices or environments where it is too chilly for just a button down, but too warm for a complete sweater. Some may also be paired with suits.
The well-dressed look is simple to pull off with the right pieces. A sweater, in any of its forms, can allow any man to look put together and attractive.
