Point 1: “Incorporate low-gauge cardigans with expressive knitted fabrics as the mainstay of a men’s coordinate.
Cardigans have a variety of knitting patterns, such as cable knitting, ribbed knitting, knitting in merino, honeycomb knitting, and Aran knitting, and are rich in expression. Low-gauge cardigans with expressive knit fabrics are particularly attractive and ideal for playing a leading role in a coordinated look. Moreover, the unique texture of knitwear gives them a mild impression without being formal. Of course, they can be worn both neatly and loosely, and the long and oversized types are perfect for loose, grunge-like styling.
Point 2: “Choose a plain cardigan to express an effortless or normcore look.
Plain cardigans in the popular melias knit or ribbed knit are understated and can be used to express an effortless or normcore look. They blend effortlessly with basic items such as T-shirts and shirts and go well with mainstay bottoms such as slacks, chinos and jeans!
Dressing Point 3: “Choose a cardigan with a collar to refresh the impression of the men’s coordinate.
V-necks and round necks are the mainstream cardigans, but if you want to refresh the look of a casual coordinate, collared cardigans are an option. Choose a shawl collar for a mature and noble look, or a polo collar for a sporty look, and incorporate them into your coordination to differentiate your outfit from the standard V-neck and round-neck styles.
