How to Style Knitwear

Words | William Phung

Heres our guide to staying warm but keeping your cool in knitwear.

Just because you're not putting on a suit and tie doesn't mean there isn't any pleasure and dignity to derive from looking your best. Quite the opposite. Much like everything else in life, it's how we carry ourselves that matters. And few things make us feel better about ourselves than the dignity inherent in being well dressed, even when donning some causal knitwear. (Which is why we put together this guide, of course)

The V-Neck Sweater

An immortal classic, the V-neck sweater is a garment every man needs. The V-neck sweater is arguably the most formal in the sweater pantheon, owing to its sharp neckline that frames the face. Consequently, it works best when paired with similarly angular garments such as a classic cotton shirt and warm wool blazer. Without a blazer, the V-neck can look a little staid, even odd. Its defined neckline coupled with its figure-hugging tendency cries out for an additional layer of clothing. You can get around this with a looser-fitting knit that you can wear on its own, over a t-shirt, or under a coat.
