A men’s cardigan is one of your fall style must-have’s. Here’s how to wear the cool weather wardrobe essential…
Truly nothing makes me happier than when it’s finally cold enough outside out for men to throw on a sweater as part of their daily uniform. Fall is arguably the best time of year for fashion because there are so many wonderful pieces that come into play as the temps cool down that wouldn’t be possible in the heat, and will eventually be buried under layers of coats in the dead of winter.
A good cardigan sweater can elevate any outfit – from the most casual looks to more business-ready styles. It’s the perfect addition to your fall wardrobe for both form and function.
Get inspired with 8 cardigan outfits for men:
Go casual with a t-shirt and sneakers
A cardigan is a great style companion for your everyday uniform of sneakers and a t-shirt.
It adds a more polished touch than your go-to crewneck sweatshirt, while providing the same warmth and level of, “Lemme just throw this on” comfort.
Go with twill pants or even workwear pants for an outfit that feels totally 2024.
We are *all* about incorporating functional workwear pieces into your everyday wardrobe…provided they’re styled right.
One way to do it right? Mix a more rugged texture — like durable Carhartt overalls! — with a soft knit like…you guessed it, a cardigan.
Take a cue from Yellowstone with your cardigan
Southwestern-style knitwear looks so effortlessly cool, it’s worth adding a piece to your fall wardrobe.
Lean all the way in with accessories like turquoise jewelry, a cowboy hat, or even a pair of cowboy boots. Or, pull back the rest of your look with more neutral pieces. Think: a simple pair of mid-rise jeans, a plain tee, and lace-up boots.
Want to make sure you look modern, not musty in your cardigan? No problem.
Use yours to balance edgier pieces like wide-leg trousers, so that you look put together without ever losing your subversive sense of style.
The cardigan market can be overwhelming, I know. So, as a piece of advice I’d say: start simple. A cream-colored cardi will go with practically everything you already own and is almost universally flattering on guys.
Yes, this is me, once again recommending monochromatic styling
One of the most wonderful things a cardigan or knitwear brings to an outfit is texture and by layering your knit with another piece that’s the same color but a different texture like a blazer or overcoat you add so much interest and depth to stylish cardigan outfits for men.
