Men's Cardigan Sweaters - A Man's Guide To The Cardigan Sweater - How To Buy A Cardigan Sweater

About this video

Centeno provides a comprehensive guide to cardigan sweaters, explaining their history, styling versatility, and how to select a well-fitting cardigan. He argues that cardigans project authority and sophistication, and demonstrates how to wear them in both formal and casual contexts, from under sports jackets to with jeans.

Key takeaways

• Centeno argues cardigans have unfairly lost masculine appeal over recent decades but carry historical significance dating to the 7th Earl of Cardigan and project an image of authority and academic credibility
• Centeno recommends prioritizing proper fit—snug enough for layering under jackets but loose enough to accommodate dress shirts and ties—and suggests trying on multiple brands in stores when possible
• Centeno advises that cardigans work across formality levels, pairing with dress slacks or jeans, and recommends wool blends for warmth in cold climates while noting synthetic blends are acceptable and cost-effective
