Wednesday: Summer Sweaters for Men!

Today we're going to dive right into some looks that men can achieve with a light cardigan/sweater during the warmer months. Like we stated yesterday, when you think of clothes to wear during the summer you're not automatically going to think of a sweater. However, if you have the right one, throwing it on during the warmer days will not be a problem. Below we're going to give you a few ways to wear them!                                  

Here we have Dwayne Wade on what looks like a warm day. He has on a dark blue cardigan sweater. Underneath his cardigan he has on a white collared button up shirt. One that I'm sure many of you men have laying around the house. As far as accessories he kept it simple with just a gold framed wrist watch and it looks like some diamond studs. In this picture we're not able to see what he wore for pants or for shoes and for that reason we will give you some ideas that you can pair this sweater with. For bottoms we're thinking that you could do some dress pants, to keep the look more on the dressed up side of things. With pants like those, it would make sense to do some type of dress shoe; however if you wanted to give the overall look more of a dressy-casual feel you could do some grey chucks for shoes. That would instantly make this look more on the casual side of things. To dress this cardigan down, some khaki shorts with a pair of Nike dunks or again some white or grey chucks would achieve this for you. If you're going to go with the khaki shorts, rolling up the sleeves on the sweater will really tie the look together!

Moving right along, to T.I. and his sweater look. He has on a v-neck cut lavender sweater with wide legged dark washed jeans with a black Gucci belt. For shoes he has on some black Louis Vuitton sneakers. Just like Dwayne he kept it simple with his accessories. He has on the oh so famous: black framed geek-chic glasses, with it looks like some sort of double chained necklace, and then on his arm he has on a black beaded bracelet. The way that the lavender sweater and dark jeans play off each other color wise really works. So if you wanted to achieve this look or do something slightly similar we would suggest that going with colors that really work well together. Maybe something like a dark green sweater with some lighter jeans may work together. The play of light and dark against each other normally works out very well when it comes to clothes. Now to make this outfit more fit for the summer, we suggest that the shirt that you put under neath this sweater is a v-neck as well; just to make it a little more airy when it comes to up top. Pushing up the sleeves on this sweater as well will give this sweater more of a summer look. For bottoms we suggest that you can go with jeans similar to this; however you could easily throw on some cargo shorts just to change it up a little and to keep yourself cooler. For shoes some all black ((our favorites)) lace up combat boots would look great with the jeans or the cargo shorts. If you do not have any of those some all black Jordans or Nike dunks will look great!


Hopefully, you learned something that was of use for you today!.. Just remember, if you want to wear a sweater during the summer keep it as light as possible..we don't need anybody falling out and trying to blame it on us! =P
