Wearing a sweater over a shirt is a timeless classic – a look that perfectly combines comfort and elegance. Whether you're dressing for the office, a dinner, or a relaxed weekend, this layered style gives your outfit instant depth and class. Here's how to do it right, without sacrificing comfort 🧥
1. Choose the right shirt
Start with a well-fitted shirt. Whether it’s a white Oxford shirt or a patterned style, make sure it doesn't bunch under your sweater. Preferably, choose a shirt with a firm collar that sits neatly above the sweater.
2. Choose the right type of sweater
The sweaters from Vercate (https://vercate.com/collections/sweaters) are available in various styles and materials. A fine-knit crew neck is ideal for a modern, clean look. A V-neck gives a more formal touch, especially if you want to show off a collar or tie. Go for neutral colours like navy, beige or grey for maximum versatility.
3. Let the shirt subtly show
Let the collar, cuffs and possibly the hem of the shirt peek out for a stylish, layered look. Tuck the shirt into your trousers for a neat finish, especially at the office.
4. Combine with the right trousers
This look works great with chinos or wool trousers. For a casual appearance, go for dark jeans. Avoid too much volume: keep the fit slim but comfortable.
5. Finish with accessories
A leather watch or clean sneakers complete the look. In colder months, wear a smart coat over the layered outfit for an elegant look.
Summary
A sweater over a shirt is a smart, stylish choice for every man. With the right fit and colour combination, you’ll strike the perfect balance between casual and refined. Discover our men’s sweaters collection → https://vercate.com/collections/sweaters
