Frequently Asked Questions About Sweaters for Men:

What sweater style looks the best on most men?

The most flattering sweater style is the one that fits correctly: snug, but not tight. Beyond fit, the v-neck sweater often wins the popularity contest for its ability to lengthen the neck and frame the face, making almost any build look more streamlined. For a relaxed, rugged look, the classic crewneck in a thick, textured knit like a fisherman's or cable-knit is a dependable choice that adds masculine bulk.

Which material is best for warmth: Merino Wool, Lambswool or Cotton?

If you are prioritizing maximum warmth for frigid outdoor work or cold weather, lambswool and other thick, traditional wool blends are the clear winner, as their loftier fibers trap more insulating air. However, merino wool is the performance king – it offers exceptional warmth while being thinner, softer (non-itchy), breathable and naturally odor resistant, making it ideal for layering and all-day wear. Cotton sweaters are the least warm and are best suited for cool transitional weather or indoor use.

What's the best way to wash and dry a men's sweater to keep it from stretching or shrinking?

The biggest threat to a quality sweater is water weight and heat, so treat it gently. Always wash the sweater inside out on a cool or cold setting, either by hand or using the delicate cycle in a machine. Never use a tumble dryer, as the heat will shrink the fibers. Instead, remove excess water by gently rolling the sweater in a towel, then lay it flat on a clean surface or drying rack, away from direct sunlight or heat, to maintain its original shape.

What should I wear under a sweater to prevent itching and reduce washing?

You should always wear an undershirt, and the best choice is a lightweight, performance layer. A simple crewneck t-shirt is your go-to for comfort, as it creates a moisture-wicking barrier that keeps the sweater's fibers off your skin, preventing both itching and pilling. By wearing a moisture-wicking layer underneath, you don't have to wash the sweater after every wear, which is crucial since frequent washing and drying can ruin a sweater's shape and softness over time.
