Men's cable Sweaters and Cardigans

Either sweaters or cardigans, thin or thick, solid or patterned, knitwear resonating with the fall season span over many and different styles, mixing functionality with some of the most pertinent runway trends. That said, the classic element seem to always persevere, meaning there's absolutely nothing wrong in sticking with a timeless cut and choice of fabric.

Cable knit sweaters and cardigan are not just for your grandpa anymore. You can now wear this knitwear style and actually be fashionable, knitwear has become an integral part of every man's clothing collection, not just in terms of utility but also style. Advanced in milling technology, yarn quality and printing techniques in recent decades have meant that knitwear has taken on a much broader and flexible role within the contemporary wardrobe.

Sweaters are far more playful fashion pieces than most men tend to think. A sweater is a stylish way to layer up a blazer chino look, while wearing a coloured or printed sweater on its own gives life to a noiseless tee and jeans outfit.

Consider the classic round/crew neck as your staple, go-to sweater. How you wear it is most likely determined by what it is made from, which in turn will inform how it fits and functions. It's a flexible category that includes a number of different styles and while that might seem like a good thing on the surface, it can present you with styling problems given the huge choice available.

Men's cardigan, underrated and underused, the cardigan is wrongfully perceived as an "old men's wear". The truth of the matter is that the cardigan, either zipped or button down, is just as versatile, as it compliments men of all ages. Simple to remove, it can be worn over dress shirts, just as easily as it can be worn underneath a sport jacket and it can also be matched to a suit. The cardigan is also the only sweater type to allow pockets. Whenever sporting a cardigan, remember to always leave the bottom unbuttoned.
