Cardigans, as a great layering piece for man's fashion

Tim's back for those who want to be a stylish man!

Today, I want to talk about CARDIGAN as another must-have item for winter.

Before we start off with this topic, I just want to introduce one great piece found from one of my favorite clothing site called MR PORTER.

Grosgrain-trimmed cotton and woll-blend cardigan from Lanvin will definitely make you look neat, smart and stylish.

Editor's note from Mr Porter describes this beautifully designed piece, as such, Lanvin takes a suave approach to a stalwart menswear staple with this grosgrain-trimmed navy cardigan. This featherweight cotton and wool-blend piece is ideal for layering over minimalist shirting for a relaxed and refined touch at weekend lunches.

The only problem with this refined piece is the PRICE(£391.67 / Approx. $596)!!!!! 

Damn my situation~hahahahahaha;(

BUT! guys don't worry. I am not suggesting or recommending to buy such an expensive cardigan.

You don't have to spend a lot of money to look great as I stressed the point about the pea coat before, remember? Fit! Fit! Fit!

But this time, it's not about the fit.

Here I can give you a couple of rules of thumb on choosing a right cardigan.

• Go with neutral colors for your first purchase (black, gray, white). It’ll make things a lot easier to pair up.
• Stick with solid colors. They have ones with patterns, designs, and graphics. If you’re a pairing genius then by all means go for those, if not… stick with the solids. With P,D, and G’s it gives more of a casual vibe, but this can still be achieved with a solid color.
• Buttoned or Unbuttoned. If buttoned, keep the last button undone. It’ll sit better this way and prevent this weird bubble in your midsection (aka “I just had a huge meal and gotta a gut” look). If you look back on the ‘different looks’ section you’ll see what I’m talking about.
• Personally I like a bit of symmetry on what buttons I keep undone. So if one is undone on the bottom, I undo one on top. Same applies for two buttons.

Cardigans are lovely for layering from Alpha M. Image Consulting

Be creative when wearing a cardigan. Test out different looks! Instead of focusing on just buttoned up or unbuttoned go a step further, play with the number of buttons you have buttoned or unbuttoned.

A good rule of thumb: don’t button the last button. It’ll flare out, which gives the same appearance of an untucked dress shirt, but more importantly it won’t balloon up in a weird fashion.
