Sweaters are suitable for different occasions. You can wear them in everyday life as well as at a professional meeting or a special occasion such as a birthday. However, it is not always easy to find the right sweater. Finally, the sweaters differ in numerous aspects such as size, cut and color. Below we give a few tips that can help with the selection.
The right fit for the men’s sweater
The right fit is crucial. But it is often difficult, especially for taller men, to find a sweater that fits perfectly. However, some stores and online shops carry men’s sweaters in large sizes. Some even have sweaters in size 8XL.
When trying on a sweater, you should consider various points. This includes, among other things, the length of the sweater. If you want to appear convincing, you should neither wear a sweater that is too long nor too short. If it is too short, it often looks rather youthful. However, a sweater that is too long can make your legs appear shorter. It is best if the sweater ends approximately halfway along the pants zipper. It should not cover the bottom and its fitted waistband should be below the hips.
The sleeves of the sweater should fit loosely and end with a cuff at the wrists. The cuff can prevent cold air from entering the sweater. However, it should not cut into the skin. To check that the sleeves fit correctly, raise your arms when trying on the garment. The sweater sleeves shouldn’t be much shorter.
In addition, it is advisable to pay attention to the shoulder seam of the sweater. It should rest on the shoulder bone. It is also important that the collar is not too tight on the neck or even cuts into the skin – nor should it be too wide.
What material should the sweater be made of?
The material of a sweater has an impact on the durability of the garment and how much care it will require. At the same time, you should take the season into account when choosing the material. A silk sweater is an option for summer. This is a natural material that is considered very breathable and almost wrinkle-free. However, since silk does not have good thermal properties, it is usually mixed with other materials to make sweaters – for example cashmere.
In addition to sweaters made of silk or a silk blend, cotton sweaters are suitable for cooler summer days or evenings. Cotton is a skin-friendly, breathable and robust material. It is also easy to care for. In addition, sweaters made of linen and synthetic fibers can be used for summer.
For colder days, you should choose clothing made from warmer materials. A fleece sweater can be a good option for the transitional period. It usually has a sportier design and is characterized by its softness.
Wool sweaters are ideal for winter. These are made from different materials: They consist of either synthetic or natural fibers. Two examples of wool sweaters made from natural fibers are cashmere sweaters and merino sweaters. Cashmere is a fine material that has very good thermal properties, but is also very expensive. Merino wool sweaters are considered to be resistant to dirt and are able to absorb a lot of moisture.
The right sweater for different occasions
When buying a sweater you will find a wide selection of colors, patterns and cuts. The colors range from simpler tones such as black or blue to unusual tones such as pink or orange. For tall men, both a plain-colored sweater and a model with a large pattern can be an option.
There are also differences in the shape of the collar. Pullovers with a crew neck are popular. If necessary, a T-shirt can be worn under such a sweater. It is also possible to combine the round neck sweater with a shirt (and possibly a tie). Three other popular collar styles for men’s sweaters are:
- V-Pullover: On such a sweater, the collar forms the letter V. It is suitable for various occasions – including professional meetings. It is usually recommended to wear a shirt under the sweater. It is important that the shirt has a collar. It is better not to wear a collarless shirt or a T-shirt under a V-neck sweater.
- Troyer: The so-called Troyer is particularly suitable for a casual look and can be combined with jeans, for example. Depending on the model, the Troyer is equipped with a button placket or a short zipper.
- Turtleneck: The collar of a turtleneck encloses the neck and is therefore a good option, especially on colder days. It keeps you warm and allows you to do without a scarf.
