The Rise of Men's Sweaters

You rarely encountered a gentleman in a sweater in the past. Until the mid-19th century, it wasn't customary for men to wear sweaters. The sweater was a garment primarily worn by labourers. However, men's sweaters experienced a genuine rise in popularity. The elite classes came to the conclusion that sport was beneficial for the body. This suddenly created increased demand for quality, durable sweaters for men. The men's sweaters as we know them today were designed at that moment.

The Sweater as a Versatile Garment

The men's sweater, or pullover, is regularly worn for sporting and leisure activities. In other words, men's sweaters are frequently worn in situations where casual is the prevailing dress code. Think, for example, of when you come home from work. Upon arriving home, many men hang up their formal blazer and pull out a comfortable sweater from the wardrobe. Furthermore, the sweater, or in this case rather the sweatshirt, is also regularly worn after a good workout session. Hence the name 'sweater'.

Styling Guide for Refined Men's Sweaters

Various types of men's sweaters are available today. There are sweaters that belong to a particular season and sweaters that must be worn in a specific way. Generally, knitted vests and thick sweaters with shawl collars are worn in winter. These men's sweaters naturally keep you warm when temperatures consistently drop. In contrast, thin sweaters are often worn when the weather outside becomes pleasantly warm.

GENTS knows better than anyone that certain garments come with specific etiquette. You might not expect it, but this applies even to the men's sweater. Some men's sweaters come with particular styling guidelines that are best not to deviate from. For instance, a V-neck sweater is regularly worn with a shirt underneath. A sporty blazer would also pair well with this sweater in question. Conversely, a polo-neck sweater should be worn as the winter version of the regular polo shirt.

Furthermore, sleeveless men's sweaters are exceptionally suitable as a replacement for a waistcoat that would normally be part of a suit. Additionally, it's always a good idea to wear a button-down collar shirt when you put on a crew-neck sweater. With such a men's sweater with a crew neck, unlike the V-neck variant, a tie is not worn. It wouldn't be visible due to the shape of the neckline and would otherwise only create an awkward bulge.
