How best men can wear sweaters

- Anne Ruthenburg

HELLO there folks, I have had men asking me to write about how best to wear their sweaters. So I thought I would briefly discuss the four main sweater types, especially worn in Africa.

The Crew neck (round neck) sweater, is typically worn with a T- shirt underneath, You can also wear it with a collared shirt, too, but it can look a little square. The crew neck sweater is associated mostly with athletes, and does not look nice with a collared shirt under a jacket.

The V-Neck sweater is worn with collared shirts, including polo shirts (with the shirt’s collar tucked into — yes, into the sweater). This look is perfect for laid- back weekends but not casual Fridays. When wearing a V-Neck t- shirt never show more than your top two shirt buttons.

The Cardigan is worn with anything from a T- shirt to a dress shirt and tie. A good cardigan is often a suitable way to add warmth on chilly days. This look reminds me of an older professor kkkk. It is so comfortabl­e. Make sure you have all your buttons though on your sweater otherwise it will look like you are a struggling so and so. And never tuck a cardigan into anything.

The Turtleneck sweater my favourite is wonderful with a blazer or a sport coat. You should also feel free to wear it on its own. Turtleneck­s are in winter as a shirt is in summer — necessary. They however do not look nice if too tight or fitted, or too loose and long, for that matter.

That’s it gentlemen, I hope this answers your question. Until next week, God bless!
