In the past, you would not encounter a single gentleman wearing a sweater. Until the mid-19th century, it was not common for gentlemen to wear sweaters. The sweater was a garment mostly worn by workers. However, there was a real rise in men's sweaters. The elite class of the population concluded that sports were good for the body. This suddenly led to an increase in demand for good, sturdy sweaters for men. The men's sweaters as we know them today were designed at that time.

The men's sweater, also known as the pullover, is regularly worn as sporty, casual clothing. In other words, men's sweaters are often worn in situations where casual is the dominant dress style. Think, for example, of the moment you come home from work. Upon arriving home, many men take off their neat blazer and grab a comfortable sweater from the closet. Furthermore, the sweater, or in this case more the sweatshirt, is also regularly put on after a good sports session. Hence the name 'sweater'.

There are various types of men's sweaters available today. There are sweaters that belong to a particular season and sweaters that you should wear in a certain way. Generally, knitted cardigans and thick sweaters with a shawl collar are worn in winter. These men's sweaters naturally keep you warm when temperatures steadily drop. In contrast, thin sweaters are mostly worn when the weather outside starts to get pleasantly warm.

GENTS knows better than anyone that certain clothing items come with a specific etiquette. You might not expect it, but this even applies to the men's sweater. Some men's sweaters have a particular wearing advice that you better not deviate from. For example, the V-neck sweater is often worn with a shirt underneath. A sporty jacket would also go well with this particular sweater. On the other hand, a sweater with a polo collar should be worn as the winter version of the regular polo shirt.

Furthermore, sleeveless men's sweaters are extremely suitable as a replacement for a vest that is normally part of a suit. Additionally, it is always a good idea to wear a button-down collar shirt when you put on a sweater with a round neck. Unlike the V-neck variant, a tie is not worn with such a men's sweater with a round neck. This is because the shape of the neck does not show the tie and otherwise would only create an odd bulge.
