Think Big This Winter With a Chunky Knit Cardigan
This season, fashion has gone big. Chunky and voluminous are the key words to embrace when thinking about essential winter items, whilst cardigans are one of the hottest trends going. For the style conscious male then, keen to embrace the most up-to-the-minute looks without compromising on warmth, this can only mean good news.
Having graced the catwalks of the top fashion shows, the male chunky knit cardigan has made a serious comeback. Reds, browns and greys are the main colours to watch out for, whilst anything goes when it comes to patterns. And, from cable knits and Fairisle designs, to duffle-effect knitted cardigans, there is a whole range of tempting choices available.
To recreate one of the most popular looks of the moment, team a comfy chunky knit with a button down check shirt – another hot fashion favourite – and a pair of dangerously skinny jeans. For those who feel their calves and/or thighs would benefit from a slightly more forgiving look, it is also possible to keep a finger on the fashion pulse by combining their cardigan with a pair of flat fronted trousers.
For the enviably toned and slim men of the world with a bold sense of fashion, then the experts recommend that now is the time to get wild and woolly! There is a great collection of patterned chunky knit cardigans around, meaning it is possible to really embrace this season’s craziest looks. Those who are slightly more self-conscious of their body shape, however, would be better to opt for a plainer style, although vertical knit patterns can also provide one with a great slimline silhouette.
There are even tempting variations available for those who would rather opt for functionality over fashion in their clothing choices. In fact, with the huge range of simple knits and subtle designs available, one doesn’t have to feel like they’ve just stepped off of the catwalk, but can instead simply enjoy the luxury of being warm and comfortable.
Although many of the top designers have introduced the chunky knit cardigan into their men’s collections this winter, they can be rather expensive. But never fear, because the high street retailers are always hot on their heels. Indeed, there is already a superb selection of cosy cardigans to choose from, which don’t cost an arm and a leg.
Chunky knit cardigans are ideal items of clothing to own and are great for heating up any winter outfit. And, with the sheer range of styles and designs on offer, it is possible for every male to be right on trend this season, regardless of his fashion persuasion. Not only that, but owning one is also the perfect excuse for offering to warm up that special someone when they start to shiver.
