Men's Sweaters – Clothes For Leisure Or Not Only?

What could be better and more comfortable than a warm sweater in late autumn and winter? There are some models of sweaters that will fit into a strict business-casual style even if you work in an office and are forced to follow specific rules. This article will discuss the variety of knitted shoulder products and how to select the correct item for the situation.

Not All Knitted Items Are Sweaters

For simplicity, many men (and even some women) use one name for all types of knitted clothing – a sweater. But not everything is so simple, and in order not to find yourself in an awkward situation, you should still understand the definitions:

Svitera
  • Sweater is a knitted shoulder piece of loose fit with a high collar a lapel. The composition of threads can vary – from mixed cotton and linen to pure wool or wool with additives. Cashmere and alpaca sweaters are the most beautiful, warm, and the most expensive ones. Merino wool is more budgetary but also a perfect option. For a shirt to be warm and nice, wool should be at least half of it. Then even in a thin sweater, you feel warm and comfortable. The density and texture of the knitted fabric can be different – light and smooth, coarse knitting, or volumetric patterns. Sweaters with Arana patterns from various braids look unique and stylish.
  • Jumper is practically the same as a sweater, but with a low, no more than 5 cm, collar. It can have a zipper or buttons on the front or shoulder. You can wear a jumper over a button-down shirt. A tie is not worn in this case as it simply will not be visible.
  • Pullover is characterized with a V-shaped neckline. It is one of the most suitable options for office style, perfectly combined with a shirt and tie. Thinner models of pullovers can be worn with or without a jacket.
  • The polo neck sweater is a sweater made of thin knitted fabric, semi-fitting or tight-fitting cut. It can be made of cotton, fine wool, viscose, and even silk knitwear – an ideal option for an autumn or winter office look.

The choice of color will depend not only on your personal preferences but also on the situation. For work, you should choose monochrome models of dark or pastel colors: black, shades of gray, brown, blue, and green. Wine shades look rich, and you can choose a light pullover or golf for a dark jacket.

How To Wear?

Coarse-knit sweaters, jumpers, and models in bright colors or with ornaments are suitable for outdoor recreation, walks, and hikes. Jeans, cargo pants, and high boots with massive soles will complete the look. Thin summer sweaters made of linen or cotton thread go very well with linen pants, chinos, slacks, light jeans, or strict classic shorts. A shirt draped over the shoulders with casually tied sleeves on the chest looks stylish.

A strict office style implies a more minimalist design – smooth monophonic textures, thinner threads, and a restrained color scheme. The ideal option is pullovers and golfs. Combine them with flats, classic trousers, or dark straight jeans. You can wear an expensive, beautiful golf even with a strict suit.

How To Care For Sweaters?

So that knitted products do not lose their attractive appearance, wash them exclusively in a delicate mode at a temperature of no more than 30°. Practically all washing machines have a "Wool" mode, which is explicitly designed for knitted products. Experiments with modes or water temperature can lead to your favorite jumper will lose its shape or decreasing by a couple of sizes.

Instead of ordinary washing powder, buying a liquid detergent for wool and cashmere is better. It will give the product softness and prevent the formation of untidy pellets.

Take expensive sweaters made of cashmere and alpaca to a dry cleaner, where they use professional products to care for such delicate materials.

Whatever knitted clothes you choose, you should not buy a cheap thing – it will serve you one season and lose its attractive look even earlier. It is better to buy 1-2 expensive models made of good wool. The Pierre Cardin Ukraine online store catalog presents options for every taste. Experienced consultants will help you choose the most suitable model.
