Best Cardigans

Once a staple for boarding school teens and grandfathers alike, the cardigan sweater is back… in a big way and has become the new staple piece for today's well-dressed man. I know, I know what you may be thinking; “A cardigan? I think Mister Rogers is the only guy who rocks the cardigan right?” Well, if you really feel that Zac Efron, Penn Badgley, and Jake Gylenhall are the new Mister Rogers, I would say you may be right. The Cardigan sweater has taken a new identity in the midst of a prep-influenced revolution in menswear.

The overall style of the cardigan has remained the same; a v-neck sweater with buttons down the front; however there's nothing old and frumpy about today's cardigan. Gone are the itchy, bulky, ill-fitting sweaters your dad used to wear. The must-have cardigans of today boast vintage inspired details, slimmer fits, and the use of luxurious fabrics. Guys, ditch the pleated khakis and turtlenecks and pull out your slim dark jeans and v-neck tee shirts. The cardigan is back, and no longer is it your grandpa's Sunday morning reading sweater.
