ULTIMATE Guide to Men's Sweaters | Mens Fashioner | Ashley Weston

About this video

Weston teaches men about six types of sweaters—crew neck, sweatshirt, v-neck, hoodie, cardigan, and shawl collar cardigan—covering fabric choices, fit guidelines, color recommendations, and styling rules for each. He also addresses niche sweater options like turtlenecks, quarter zips, cable knits, long sleeve polos, and explains common mistakes men make when wearing and layering sweaters.

Key takeaways

• Weston recommends choosing sweater fabrics based on lifestyle and budget, with wool and merino wool offering the best balance of warmth, durability, and value
• Weston argues that crew neck sweaters in black, navy, and charcoal are the most versatile foundation pieces, and should be layered under jackets for larger or muscular men to create a slimming effect
• Weston emphasizes that v-neck sweaters must only be worn over collared dress shirts for a dressier look, and that fit guidelines—shoulder seams at the bone, sleeves ending at wrist bend, light torso hug—apply across all sweater types
• Weston teaches that cardigans and shawl collar cardigans can be stylish cold-weather pieces when worn correctly, with larger men wearing them buttoned as layers and leaving bottom buttons undone to prevent bunching
