I admit it, a few years ago, if you said the words “men’s cardigan” to me, the first image that would pop into my head was of a bunch of older, slightly pudgy men playing golf. A cardigan sweater was something your grandfather might wear, something you might find at the back of a drawer smelling of moth balls. Not exactly awesome, right? But oh how things have changed. Now, the kind of man that wears a cardigan is cool, stylish, elegant, hip, and most definitely on trend. I mean, if Daniel Craig and Ryan Gosling can wear cardigans, let’s just say that nowadays, CARDIGAN = COOL.
You can wear a men’s cardigan sweater with pretty much anything and a cardigan can go pretty much anywhere. Throw on your favorite button down shirt, a tie, pair it with a classic navy blue v-neck cardigan, and it’s off to work you go. You say you’re getting on a jet plane? Well, put on your favorite pair of jeans, a white t-shirt, a printed cardigan, grab a blazer and I promise you won’t get stopped in the security line. You have tickets to a baseball game? No worries. Put on some cargo pants, your favorite band t-shirt, a colored cardigan sweater, add a leather jacket and you can run right out the door, secure in the knowledge that your cool factor is intact. I could go on and on, but you get my drift.
