How and what to wear a men's jumper with?
Right from the beginning of autumn it's worth to think about refreshing a jacket or a coat and to bring back your jumpers, which can be easily used as one of the layers of an outfit in everyday or elegant style.
It's more than certain that warm and comfy men's jumpers should be in a wardobe of every man. Before buying one, it's worth to think over which cut is the most suitable. Most producers offer tens of models of jumpers. We can choose from popular classic ones, single-coloured, with a V-neck or crew neck. No less fans have zipped models while in everyday outfits patterned jumpers and the ones made from thick fabrics in winter patterns work like a charm. Gentlemen usually appreciate sleeveless jumpers which get along with stylings consisting of a blazer. The offer of jumpers with street details resembling a comfy sweatshirt is getting bigger and bigger. A hooded jumper, an oversized one, or with a raw trim are examples of models that have ruled the streets for years.
Stylists have found a common ground. They say that at least two cuts are worth having in your wardrobe: a V-neck jumper and a cardigan. The first one looks great in stylings with a blazer, a shirt and a tie. Depending on the occasion, in such a set you can use elegant creased trousers, less formal chinos or casual jeans. During crucial business meetings it's best to wear plain cuts and subtle colours. The ways of wearing men's V-neck jumpers are several. For example. Italians love combining juicy jumpers with a shirt, jeans and moccasins. The English are faithful to checked shirts with navy blue, claret or green jumpers and complete the look with jeans and lace-ups. By contrast, a typical American outfit consists of a V-neck jumper, a casual shirt, chino trousers and moccasins.
If you decide to put on a V-neck jumper, it's worth paying attention to details. Intensive colours are the best choice for men with dark hair and light and dark complexion. Fair hair look better with neutral jumpers and light colours, such as the shades of grey and beige. If you don't use a tie in a styling, it's necessary to make the collar lapels not stand out. It doesn't matter whether the jumper is to be under the blazer or on top, it should be well-fitted and underline the silhouette. Then, it's important for the shirt to be soft. And here's a tip. A V-neck jumper doesn't have to be put on to make it a part of the outfit. It may as well be placed on the shoulders, which adds nonchalance to stylings.
Men's cardigans work great in elegant and casual outfits. The key to choosing an appropriate cut is the thickness of the fabric. Slim men's cardigans with addition of cashmere nicely combine with shirts, ties and bow ties. Typically casual stylings are thick, warm and zipped. Their fastening can consist of a zipper, buttons or toggles, like in a duffle coat. Everyday cardigans are often deocarated by plaits, different patterns, like the Norwegian one, which introduces a ski resort atmosphere. Other models can also be equipped with eco leather inserts.
A thick cardigan can be worn on many ways. You can obtain a perfect image with well-fitted jeans and a longsleeve, a T-shirt or with a plain shirt with prints and intensive colours. In case of patterned jumpers we recommend neutral colours and basic cuts.
If you are to choose a men's jumper for everyday stylings, it's worth focusing on classic and minimalistic ones with a crew neckline. They are perfect for outfits with chinos, jeans, heavy winter boots and a jacket. Despite of being less formal than men's V-neck jumpers, they are worth combining with a shirt and even a tie. If it comes to colours and patterns – casual style is all it takes.
Another eye-catching jumper cut is the overhead type with a turtleneck or collar. Asymmetric fastening, zippers and buttons do the trick in these models.
The biggest versatility is in streetwear style. Here, men's jumpers are longline, loose and the cardigans don't have to be fastened, they can have a roll-up collar, a hood and an oversized cut. Long, raw hooded jumpers with an asymmetric fastening look really good in urban outifts. They are a base for stylish and modern looks with a cotton T-shirt, jeans or denim joggers with boots.
