It is practical and warm, it can be used not only as additional warming during cold winter days, but also to create a unique stylish look. Currently, the sweater is firmly seated in the men's wardrobe along with a shirt, jacket and tie.

Then this warm clothing was appreciated by the sailors, as the sweater did not require an additional scarf to be worn around the neck. In the twentieth century, it began to actively use the athletes involved in winter sports, such as skis or skates. A little later, this type of clothing adopted and the military.

In the 1930s, Coco Chanel began to introduce a sweater into the world of fashion, and it was she who invented the first models of women's sweaters.

In the 70s, wool sweaters ceased to be so popular, but at that time they began to make acrylic sweaters, which are still in demand.

Nowadays, the sweater is extremely popular clothes for girls and men of all ages. Exquisite knitted patterns, warmth and comfort, which gives us this item of clothing contribute to the fact that people stop their choice on it and, in turn, the designers come up with all the new models and replenish their collections of clothes.

First of all, when choosing a sweater for a man, you need to pay attention to its colors. For most men, this factor is fundamentally important, so the main thing here is not to make a mistake.

Below we take a closer look at these materials, as well as their main advantages and disadvantages.

In the harsh Russian winter, it will not be easy for a man to do without this warm and warming element of clothing. To really warm a good winter sweater must be at least 80% wool. Cotton and synthetic in this plan are inferior to woolen. Therefore, your choice is better to stop at the last.

To wear in the autumn, too, should prefer warm sweaters made of natural wool.There will also be a big plus the presence of a high neck, which will protect you from the oncoming cold weather and the piercing autumn wind. If you use a sweater in the autumn wardrobe without additional outerwear, then you should stop the choice on thicker models that will certainly help keep the body warm.

There are several types of sweaters. Now we will consider them.

Men's knit sweater differs from the others according to two characteristics; unlike others, it combines softness and brutality. To date, this type of sweater has a variety of styles. The length can be very diverse, often it is reaching the line of the hips, but you can find long winter options. If we talk about volume, even slightly fitted models look quite impressive.

A distinctive feature of a sweatshirt is a wide strip at the end of the sleeves and a triangular insert under the collar, which was created to absorb the sweat of athletes, now this element is purely decorative. Like a couple of decades ago, so now the sweatshirt remains extremely popular. It is a thing in demand because of its ease of wearing and unpretentiousness in care.

It can be considered a truly winter option, as it protects the throat from the piercing cold wind. Ideal for men of slim build. But on more plump ones with a not long neck it will look unfortunate, since such a cut visually gives the figure some kind of massiveness.

This sweater is a more sporty option and is best suited for men who lead an active lifestyle, since this type of sweater can be successfully combined only with sports-style clothing and is ideal for sports or outdoor activities in the country.

A significant advantage of a cardigan over a sweater is that in order to put it on you do not need to do this operation through the head. This option is ideal for office workers, if the office is hot, you can easily remove it, and if you open the window for ventilation, it is easy to put it back on. Cardigans are perfectly combined even with a T-shirt, even with a shirt, and therefore fit for work and for free time. But there is one thing: do not fasten it with all buttons, it is better to leave a couple of them unbuttoned above and below.

Ideal for autumn and spring. The hood will be able to protect your head from hypothermia without additionally wearing a hat.

This model perfectly emphasizes the figure, as it is specially made so that it lies perfectly on the body, emphasizing all its advantages and disadvantages. Therefore, pullovers are designed only for men with a perfect pumped figure. Agree, the beer belly and skinny hands, peeking out from under the pullover, do not look very nice.

Maybe any cut, but differs from the rest in its colors. Usually on such sweaters you can find images of various Christmas and winter motifs. Deer, snowmen, snowflakes, trees, winter landscapes is what occupies a significant part of the thing and distinguishes it from others.

This type of cut differs from others in the absence of sleeves. Most successfully, this type of sweater is combined with a shirt and is ideal for an office worker.

This type of sweater can be called the most popular. It is great for business style. The fact that this sweater is decorated to a minimum makes it possible to wear over a coat or sheepskin coat. It can be noted that a successful combination with such a sweater is a shirt with several buttons undone at the top, but you should not add a tie to this image.If it is cold outside, then you can put on a T-shirt additionally under a sweater, it will not be visible.

The style of this type of sweater goes well with a shirt and tie.

The collar of this type of sweater is slightly turned outwards, which makes this thing slightly baggy. Because of this, it is best suited for a country trip, rather than as an element of office clothing.

His entire collar is round and only in front there is a small incision. Thanks to him, the chin is emphasized and the face acquires more manly features. Under the shirt and tie, it does not fit, since the cut for them will be small, because it is usually worn on a naked body. Most of all this type of sweater is loved by men in good physical shape, as it helps to demonstrate their developed muscles.

In addition to cutting, men's sweaters can have a variety of prints and patterns. Now we look at the most common ones.

The strip is a favorite print of both fashion designers and people. The vertical strip visually lengthens the body, and the horizontal one, on the contrary, makes it wider and more powerful.

A sweater with this image has long been considered a classic. It combines best with a shirt and simple trousers. But you can try to experiment with different jackets, it will be nice to look with a jacket bomber jacket or a pea jacket.

Or else such a sweater is called Norwegian. This country is rather cold and therefore many types of sweaters came to us from there. The Norwegian ornament is made up of rhombuses, crosses, triangles, snowflakes, small circles imitating falling snow. Such a pattern does not go out of fashion for several decades, so you should definitely get yourself at least one to stand out from the gray mass.

Looking at his whimsical pattern, consisting of a plexus of thick braids, immediately blows home comfort and warmth. This pattern is also called Aran. He came to us from the islands of Ireland, where the anglers' wives began to knit this warm piece of clothing. It was believed that this interesting pattern was created not only to protect from the weather, but also to identify the body of a person thrown out of the sea, because each sweater was then unique, because it was knitted by local craftswomen by hand. That is such a sad and at the same time beautiful story.

As we said above, the color of the sweater is of paramount importance. Consider the most popular and current.

Clothing that has a black or gray color is not particularly suited to the concept of "colored" things, but it is certainly necessary to talk about them, as many consider them as a variant of the new sweater. Black is perfect for lovers of minimalism, to create such a black and white image. In other cases, it will probably look too gloomy.

It will be an ideal addition to a restrained, but not too strict business image. But in general, this color gives a sense of calm, balance and moderation. A light gray can even give a touch of sophistication.

Perhaps it can be attributed to the most popular colors of men's sweaters. And for this there are several good reasons. Firstly, it is suitable for those who refuse to black because of its excessive darkness. Secondly, a sweater of this color just goes perfectly with jeans and brown gamma pants, and every man must have such things. Therefore, acquiring such a sweater does not need to think about the selection of the lower part of the wardrobe. Thus, we can conclude that the blue sweater is in any case a win-win solution.

As well as the red color in itself, so the clothes made in this color always attract a lot of attention.If you are not afraid of the opinions of other people, then this option is for you. Some people incorrectly believe that the red color is suitable only for trips to parties and clubs, but this is not at all the case; the sweaters of the red flowers combine them with a white shirt to add elegance and severity to the image. However, bright red sweaters are more suitable for the weekend, for work you should choose more muted shades, such as burgundy.

Dark greens or khaki sweaters blend nicely with soft colors such as gray or beige. But sweaters such shades can not be attributed to the business style, they are best suited for free time. A bright green, like red is very positive, cheerful and attracts attention. Therefore it is necessary to combine them with more muted colors, so as not to look too defiant.

White is a neutral color, and this is its main advantage, which gives free rein to experiments with combining it with other colors. You can add a light shade to the sweater or play on the contrast. In addition, white always looks bright and elegant, so the best option would be to wear such a sweater for a festive evening or a day off, especially when combined with white trousers. Such sweaters often have a volume texture and it is good to use them as independent outerwear or to put on over a coat.

Not every man will choose this color, but in vain. In a sweater of this color, you will not go unnoticed, and with a competent combination of it with other colors, you will get a very stylish look. It is recommended to combine it with light gray; it will “calm” bright yellow and give balance.

Sweaters differ not only in styles and colors, but also in materials. Material is not less important factor in the choice of clothes, because it depends on him how long the thing will retain its original appearance, feeling when worn and most importantly milking the sweater is its warming qualities. So, the main materials:

This material is made from undercoat cashmere goats. It differs from wool in that it is softer and thinner and less resistant to cold. Cashmere is often mixed with sheep's wool and at the same time it produces a warm and at the same time soft material that is pleasant to the body. Cashmere sweaters are great for other elements of men's wardrobe.

It is considered to be the best material for the manufacture of sweaters. For many centuries, it was used for the production of warm clothing. Sheep wool is the most affordable option, but many people dislike it because it is pricked. And merino wool is considered the best and warm, however it has a high cost.

This is the most popular and common material for the manufacture of the most diverse clothing, and cotton sweaters are not bypassed. A cotton sweater will cost much less than wool, but it is not suitable for frosty winter days, and unlike wool, cotton reacts to moisture, which means that you will probably freeze in it if you decide to wear it in rainy weather .

From this material began to make sweaters in the period of the 70s of the last century, when the world swept the so-called "synthetic boom". Such sweaters have a very low cost and retain their original appearance for a long time, but they warm poorly, and their appearance leaves much to be desired.

Sweaters and sweaters go perfectly with almost any clothing. But in order for the sweater to sit truly perfect and emphasize all your virtues, it is necessary to take into account several rules.

With the onset of cold weather, many men are replacing T-shirts and shirts with thick knit sweaters.Such sweaters, decorated with various ornaments, make the silhouette more manly, extend shoulders, designers recommend wearing them with ordinary jeans. This simple combination will give a man brutality.

In theory, under the sweater you can wear anything: even a T-shirt, even a turtleneck. But in fact, it all depends on the style of a particular sweater or sweater. If you have a thick sweater that you wear on a cold winter day for warmth, then under it as a source of additional heating you can wear a T-shirt. And if you decide to dress up in a thin cashmere jumper in tight, then you should not wear anything extra under it, because the contour of a T-shirt or T-shirt will shine through the thin material.

If the weather is cool outside, then you can wear something else over the sweater or sweater. It can be anything, on top of a jumper any jacket will look great, be it in a classic or sporty style. Sweater can be combined with a jacket, but with this you need to be careful, because such an outfit visually enhances the silhouette.
