Stylishly Layer Up: A Guide to Men's Brown Cardigan Fashion and Coordination

Cardigans are useful for temperature control and layering during the cold season, and their relaxed look can be worn both beautifully and loosely. In particular, brown cardigans have a soft and relaxed atmosphere that matches the texture of knitwear, and when combined with navy items, monotone items, and earthy-colored items, they bring a special sense of stylishness. In this issue, we focus on the “brown cardigan” and introduce tips on how to wear it, men’s coordinates for reference, and recommended items!

What impression does a brown cardigan give?

The brown cardigan, a darker shade of warm colors such as red and orange with black added, is an item that evokes nature and gives off an impression of warmth, gentleness, and comfort. It matches the soft texture of knitwear, creating a relaxed atmosphere that blends well with a calm, mature atmosphere. The low saturation of this color makes it look more subdued than other colors, so care must be taken when matching colors, selecting items, and wearing it with other colors.

What colors of innerwear and bottoms go well with brown cardigans?

Colors of innerwear and bottoms that go well with brown cardigans are black, white, ivory, and beige. For a more lively look, choose black or white, while ivory or beige items are best if you want a similar color that is easy to blend and yet avoids a somber impression. Next, navy is a strong choice that expresses “Azzurro e Marrone,” a color combination favored by fashionable Italians. However, the impression will vary considerably depending on the placement of colors and the amount of color, so it is important to look at the overall balance from a bird’s eye view and determine the “right balance” that allows the charm of the brown cardigan to shine through.

How to avoid looking plain with a brown cardigan

If you choose to dress only in similar or earthy colors because they go well with brown cardigans and are easy to blend in, you may end up looking plain and uninspired. Therefore, it is essential to choose items with an awareness of the contrast and balance between the lightness and saturation of the brown cardigan, and to add depth and breadth to the styling. Pair black items with brown to create a cool impression that suppresses the mildness and sweetness of brown, and white items to accentuate the elegant, beautiful, and gentle atmosphere of the brown cardigan. If you combine white and beige items with a brown cardigan as the main feature, it is not difficult to create a stylish latte coordinate while avoiding the appearance of plainness.
