Men's Sweaters

Men's Sweaters

Wearing a sweater is a great way to add something extra to your outfit, while also providing you with an extra layer for the cold weather. If you need to stay warm, the best way to go would be wool. It comes in many different varieties and it'll keep you warm.

One of the most popular types of wool, especially for formal wear, is cashmere. Cashmere is a very soft and luxurious type of wool, and it is quite warm in cold climates.

There are many different patterns available when choosing a sweater, and the key when picking a pattern out if to remember that you're going to have many layers and articles on, so making sure that the sweater compliments these things is crucial. Wearing an extremely loud, bright, or busy sweater will take attention away from the rest of your outfit. Conservative colors that correspnd with the season will allow you the best opportunity to put together a complete look. For winter, darker colors and heavier fabrics usually work best. In general, consider navy blues, forest greens, and browns, but of course the exact choice of color will depend on your hair and skin complexion and their contrast.
