Men's Cardigans

I know what you're thinking: Isn't this what Mr. Rogers wore? It is, but the new cardigans are not something Mr. Rogers would pick up while shopping.

Cardigans are a great alternative to sweaters. This winter give your standard sweaters a break and take your look to the next level with a cardigan. You will have the same overall look with a cardigan, but you will appear more stylish, trendy and put together.

When wearing a cardigan to work, wear a dress shirt underneath- tie optional. On a casual Friday, feel free to roll up your sleeves over the cardigan's sleeves and push them up just below the elbow. You can also leave the cardigan unbuttoned for casual work days.

You can wear your cardigan to hang out with friends, watch football, grocery shopping, taking the dog out or any other weekend activity. Slouchy jeans, casual sneakers, a simple t-shirt (solid or graphic) with a cardigan, buttoned or not, makes for an easy, comfortable outfit.

Just think: you are watching tv, wearing jeans and a t-shirt, a girl calls to hang out, all you need to do is throw on a cardigan. Not only is that a simple way to dress up an outfit, but she'll also think you are stylish.

When shopping for cardigans, look for styles that fit close to the body; you don't want it to be tight, but you also don't want it look look too big or boxy. Added detailing like contrast piping, color blocking, zippers and the like makes cardigans modern. Keep these things in mind and you won't end up looking like grandpa.
