Men's Sweaters

Eden Park Men's Sweaters

The sweater is undoubtedly the essential piece of men's winter outfits . It allows you to show off a trendy style, while being very easy to match with other pieces. Sometimes simple, sometimes fanciful, it comes in an infinite number of models and adapts easily to all body types.

A Brief History of the Sweater

The term sweater is relatively recent: in fact, it was long called "knit" or "sweater." This term originates from the English expression "pull over," which literally means "to pull over." It refers to the way it is put on.
This garment is actually very old, as it was already worn in ancient Egypt. However, the sweater as we know it today first appeared in 18th-century Brittany. It was worn by Breton sailors who were trading garlic and onions at the time, and who wore an easily recognizable sweater. These traders were nicknamed "garlic merchants," and the contraction of these two terms eventually led to the word "sweater."
The sweater's primary function was to protect the body from the cold, providing sufficient insulation thanks to its wool composition. While retaining this characteristic, it has become a very fashionable garment today.

An infinity of looks

A true chameleon, the sweater adapts to all clothing styles, from the most athletic to the most elegant. Need some outfit inspiration? Here are some suggestions.

For a sober and trendy style

If you're looking for an outfit that's both classic and elegant, or you don't dare to risk overly complex combinations, you can go for a plain model! A gray knit model , matched with light jeans and white sneakers, for example, will look great. You can also opt for a navy blue sweater , trucker collar , and wear it with elegant beige chino pants .
To add a touch of eccentricity to your outfit, don't hesitate to choose more colorful shades. For example, a red or pink model will pair perfectly with navy jeans or white chinos.

For a casual style

Between the traditional sweater and the cardigan , the slim-fit is perfect for sporting a style that is both sporty and trendy, especially during the mid-season.

Worn over raw-colored jeans and with a pair of light-colored sneakers, a khaki-colored slim-fit model will guarantee you a look that is both comfortable and trendy.

For a smart style

For even more elegance, opt for a cashmere style. This luxurious material offers unparalleled comfort and is ideal for creating sophisticated looks.

For example, you can opt for a blue or black cashmere sweater , pair it with elegant white jeans (which you will have previously rolled up at the ankles), and complete your outfit with a nice pair of loafers.

For an original style

The sweater is the perfect piece of clothing to express your creativity. In fact, today it comes in an infinite variety: with whimsical patterns, logos, flashy colors, and more.

For the office, for example, you could opt for a color-block zip-neck sweater and pair it with a light-colored sweater and dark leather ankle boots. For a day in the countryside, wear it with light-colored shorts and a pair of sneakers.

Striped knit sweaters can also be a great option for a smart, offbeat look: they open the door to a wide range of combinations. For example, a white sweater with a nautical pattern will pair perfectly with brick-colored jeans!

Be careful not to make a fashion faux pas, though. If you choose a model with a whimsical pattern, you should make sure to maintain a certain sobriety in the rest of your outfit. Basic jeans and plain shoes, for example, will do the trick perfectly.

Choosing your clothing according to your body shape

For men with a taller, slimmer figure, it's advisable to choose a model with a straight cut and a close fit. Ideally, it should be a little looser around the stomach and hips: this helps create a sense of volume in the upper body.

If, on the other hand, you are shorter, opt for a model with a slim fit, and make sure it is the right length. Contrary to popular belief, choosing a model that is too big will not widen your silhouette at all, and will even tend to make you look shorter.

If you have a square body shape

For more athletic body types, it is recommended to choose a model with a fitted cut, which will enhance the silhouette.

For the best results, choose a crew-neck style , preferably in a dark shade. You can also choose a pastel shade, as long as it's relatively understated (blue-grey, pale khaki, etc.).

If you are of a stout build

If you have a tendency to be overweight, know that the sweater can become a real must-have in your wardrobe! Just like the shirt , it is ideal for structuring the silhouette, because it allows you to elegantly harmonize the bust.

For the most striking result, choose a model that will even out your build, with clean shoulders and a stiff collar. Don't hesitate to choose a model with a fitted cut, ideal for slimming your waist and defining your shoulders. In terms of colors, choose dark shades, as they have a slimming effect: burgundy red, black, royal blue, purple... You're spoiled for choice!

Some maintenance tips

To keep your garment as long as possible, you must follow a few care rules, which vary depending on its composition.

For wool garments, hand wash inside out. Air dry them flat. Iron on low heat. Never twist your garment to dry faster, as this will inevitably damage the fibers.

If you've opted for a cashmere item, you can wash it in cold water, either by hand or in the washing machine (making sure to select a special wool cycle). Avoid using a tumble dryer or fabric softeners, and dry your garment flat. When ironing, it's essential to use a very gentle iron to avoid damaging the garment.
