Knitted Items In Men's Wardrobe. What Are They And How To Wear?

Men are usually much more straightforward than women regarding such nuances of clothing as a shade of color or the correct name. What is coral, carmine, crimson, or cinnabar for women is red for men. In the same way, few men think about the difference between a sweater, a jumper, and a pullover. For someone, ignorance of such subtleties does not change anything. But, if your lifestyle requires you to follow the dress code and look appropriate and stylish, our article may be helpful.

So, we have a sweater, a jumper, and a pullover. These products have much in common: they are knitted, have long sleeves, and are pulled over the head. And now let's figure out their differences, how and where to wear them.

Sweater

The defining detail is a high, more than 5 cm collar that fits the neck. Warm sweaters are knitted from woolen, mixed, or cotton threads. We will not consider cheap options made of synthetic fibers.

Alpaca and cashmere sweaters are the most expensive and warm, made of pure wool or wool with additives. These sweaters are warm and look beautiful, but they require careful washing with strict observance of the water temperature. Cotton sweaters are suitable for the off-season or a chilly summer evening. A polo neck is also a close-fitting sweater made of knitted fabric.

Sweaters are large knitted, smooth, with colored or voluminous patterns. You can wear a T-shirt or a long thin sleeve as the bottom layer under the sweater.

Man Style

<h2>How To Wear? </h2>
<p>
	 A thin, smooth knit sweater of a close-fitting style (especially a polo neck) in dark or pastel colors can be worn with a suit if the dress code allows it. Any other sweater models look good in combination with jeans, cargo pants, and chinos.

<h2>Jumper</h2>
<p>
	 It is the same sweater but with a round neckline and a low or turn-down collar. It can be fastened in the upper part with a button or zipper. It is possible to wear both a T-shirt and a shirt without a tie under it, depending on the shape of the neck.

	 The jumper can be worn with any other trousers, depending on the jumper's style, color, and texture. For the office, it is better to choose plain models with a smooth surface, not bright colors, and made of thin yarn. At an informal party, you can afford any colors and patterns.

<h2>Pullover</h2>
<p>
	 It is almost the same as a jumper, but with a V-neck and without fasteners. It can be worn on the naked body or combined with a shirt and tie. If you are an office worker, a plain <a href=pullover from the Future Flex or Royal Blend collection by Pierre Cardin will suit you better than any other model. Remember that the shirt should be a couple of tones lighter than the pullover.

Pullovers made of cotton, linen, or mixed yarn are an excellent option for summer, and you can combine them with light trousers or shorts of a classic cut.

It is pretty simple to choose the size of knitted products:

  • the edge of the sleeve should reach the base of the thumb or slightly higher (if worn with a shirt);
  • close-fitting, semi-close, or oversized silhouette – depends on the situation. Office style suggests narrower models;
  • the length depends on the style – close-fitting models slightly below the trouser waist, loose sweaters may be longer.

There are a few words about how to take care of sweaters so they are worn for a long time and retain their attractive appearance. Any type of shoulder products cannot be hung on the hangers but stored neatly folded on a shelf. Knitwear should be washed rarely, so try to avoid stains. It is impossible to prevent pellets on knitted fabric, but special detergents and conditioners minimize their amount. Anyway, you an easily remove pellets with a special instrument.
