As winter is coming to an end it is time to start focusing on transitional pieces. Here at Hanley & Co knitwear makes the perfect transitional pieces as they are perfect for layering and will keep you warm. It may be spring but there is still a chill in the air.
Are sweaters and knitwear still in style for men?
Knitted sweaters and knitwear are still very much in style for men. They are timeless pieces that are versatile, making them essential for your wardrobe no matter what time of year it may be. They can also be dressed up or dressed down depending on the occasion.
How do you choose knitwear?
There are a few factors to consider when choosing knitwear, firstly, choose a material that suits your needs and personal preference, what style you are looking for and what suits you, the fit, make sure it is comfortable but not too big, the colour, think about the colour scheme you have in your wardrobe and choose a colour that complements it, the occasion, consider the occasion you are considering it for and choose the material accordingly. Remember to also consider the quality of the knitwear, higher quality knitwear is more durable and will last longer.
How do you style knitwear?
There are a few ways to style knitwear:
- The layered look: To create a layered look style a knitted sweater over a collared shirt or polo. This is perfect for the transitioning season as layering will keep you warm and the layers can easily be removed if the temperature does rise throughout the day. It is also a smart casual look which is perfect for the office or meetings.
- The denim look: Style your knitted sweater or cardigan over a pair of jeans and trainers for a more casual look.
- Outerwear: Wear a chunky knitted cardigan or knitted Over Shirt with lighter pieces underneath such as a polo shirt or t-shirt. Again, this style is perfect for the transitioning season that we are going through.
- Accessorise: Accessorise your look by adding a scarf, hat, or gloves in colours that complement your outfit to complete your look.
Remember to keep in mind the occasion you are dressing for when styling your knitwear and feel free to experiment with different combinations to find what suits you best.
