Style A Shirt & Sweater…CORRECTLY! (As An Adult Man)
About this video
Centeno teaches a comprehensive system for layering sweaters and shirts, covering different sweater styles (crew neck, V-neck, cardigan, quarterzip, turtleneck, sweater vest, polo), shirt types (casual button-downs, Oxford cloth, dress shirts), and formulas for matching them together. He emphasizes proper fit, avoiding pattern overload, and using color contrast to create polished, intentional outfits.
Key takeaways
- Centeno recommends matching formality levels between shirts and sweaters, with dress shirts pairing well with V-necks and crew necks, while casual shirts pair with crew necks and quarterzips
- Centeno advises avoiding excessive patterns by following the rule: patterned sweater with solid shirt, or patterned shirt with solid sweater
- Centeno emphasizes proper fit is essential for layering, the shirt should be tucked in while the sweater should not be tucked, and shirt collars should peek slightly above the sweater neckline for visual interest
