Men's Sweater Guide - Crewneck, Cardigan, Shawl Collar Cardigan - wool, cashmere, cotton

About this video

Weston teaches men how to wear three essential fall and winter sweater styles—crew necks, cardigans, and shawl-collar cardigans—with proper fit guidelines and styling tips tailored to different body types. She emphasizes the importance of correct fit and demonstrates how to layer these sweaters with other pieces to create versatile outfits.

Key takeaways

• Weston argues that crew neck sweaters should fit snugly with no more than one inch of pinch on the tricep and two inches on the torso, with sleeves ending at the wrist bend and length hitting just past the belt buckle
• Weston recommends that broader-framed men wear crew necks and regular cardigans only as layering pieces under jackets or suits, and wear shawl-collar cardigans unbuttoned on their own to break up width
• Weston advises avoiding v-neck t-shirts under cardigans and never pairing polo shirts with cardigans due to collar fit issues, and suggests materials like wool, cashmere, or cotton-blend depending on personal warmth preferences
