How to Wear a Cardigan Sweater (Lightweight & Chunky Shawl Neck)

About this video

McGoff provides a comprehensive guide to wearing cardigans as a masculine style piece, covering different cardigan types (V-neck, shawl collar, cable knit, etc.) and how their weight and thickness determine styling versatility. He demonstrates multiple outfit combinations ranging from casual (cardigan over t-shirt) to formal (cardigan with full suit), and recommends affordable starting points and higher-end options for purchasing cardigans.

Key takeaways

• McGoff argues that cardigans are versatile, timeless garments that can be styled as casually or formally as needed, functioning as outer layers, middle layers, or jacket replacements
• McGoff teaches that cardigan weight determines styling approach—lightweight cardigans work with suits and dress shirts while chunky cardigans are typically more casual
• McGoff recommends following a color rule where the cardigan should generally be darker than the shirt worn underneath for a cohesive look
• McGoff suggests starting with affordable options from retailers like H&M or Asos before investing in higher-quality cardigans from brands like Brooks Brothers or Bonobos
