Sweaters
As kids we regarded sweaters as scratchy pieces of clothing our mothers insisted we carry with us when the weather forecast predicted a chill. As we grew up, they were what we grudgingly shrugged on instead of college sweat shirts when the occasion called for it. Now, knit pullovers and cardigans are an elementary part of our wardrobe and their function has become less important than their form.
A slim crew neck adds the polish of a blazer to a shirt and tie. A cashmere cardigan can make a tailored jacket and a T-shirt elegant enough for a dinner party. You've learned to appreciate the sweater {and, of course, that mom was right}. Now make sure you're using it to it's fullest potential.
The Perfect Sweater
A well-cut gray crew neck sweater is as essential to a man's wardrobe as a pair of everyday jeans. A light weight cashmere one that fits well can go under a suit to add warmth or over a T-shirt to make dark jeans appropriate for an evening out. Further argument for owning more than one. It's almost impossible for it to clash with anything else in your closet.
