When cold weather comes, the sweater is the warmest and most comfortable choice to make. If you want to combine convenience and a touch of elegance, then matching it with a shirt is a style solution to put into practice.
In fact, it is a very versatile set that, depending on the type of shirts and sweaters we choose, creates different solutions. The important thing is to take care of details. How to combine, then, a shirt and a sweater without fail?
To avoid mistakes you need to distinguish the various types of sweaters.
- The button-down shirt fits perfectly with the V-neck sweater. It is the ideal choice for those with a round face, helping to make it slimmer. The outfit can be completed with the tie, as the V-shaped lines of the neckline leave the right space for the knot. If you opt for a jacket, choose a more sporty model.Not to be forgotten: it should not be worn with another T-shirt with a V-neckline. Remember this prohibition and you'll be on the safe side!
- The crew neck sweater adapts easily to the most diverse situations, giving the idea of precision and order. For those with an oval face it is the most suitable stylistic choice.The shirt in this case can be either with a classic collar or a button down, as long as the collar is always tucked under the neck. To these elements you can easily add the tie, easy to tie in the space between shirt and sweater.If, on the other hand, you prefer a more casual and sporty look, better to opt for a long-sleeved polo shirt with classic patterns.
- More formal than the sweater, the cardigan peeps out again in the man's wardrobe. It is a simple and refined garment, to be worn with a shirt and tie, without buttoning it completely. Its more casual version is the one with the patches, a trendy detail and, let's say, a bit hipster that is so pleasing. The cardigan can also be worn on a t-shirt, as long as it has similar tones and does not present particular patterns.
- A little retro, without ever losing its charm is the turtleneck sweater. An iconic garment, capable of recalling a successful man like Steve Jobs in the collective imagination. This casual sweater, in Italy, takes its name from the famous film "La Dolcevita" by Fellini, where it was worn by the protagonist Marcello Mastroianni. It should be worn fairly tightly. Particularly suitable for slimming the silhouette, it can be worn both with jackets and trousers for a casual look or with the suit.
An alternative to turtleneck is the zipped polo neck,to be worn with or without a shirt. in this case, no tie is required, a sporty jacket is fine instead.
