This cardigan style for men is not leaving us anytime soon. Something is appealing in a guy who knows how to sport a long cardigan well. Perhaps that outfit will give you a look of a knight, a priest, or a magician in a trench coat like Neo from Matrix.
Long, elegant knitwear for men originated from long coats and duster cardigans. The contemporary thin and slender-looking ones that accentuate the figure are made from acrylic yarns but are still as warm as cashmere-based ones and last a long time. Popular knee-length cardigans for men often don’t sport any buttons but they come equipped with either comfy pockets or hoods, which gives them that urban cloak look.
Who popularized long cardigans? We are not sure who and what popularized them aside from the fact that we see them all over town. (LA in my case). Recently someone on Melrose avenue said, “Those were invented by the bearded hipsters”, if that is true, then be it! People often tell me, “I really like these long cardigans, but they make me look metrosexual” and I tell them that metrosexual look is a versatile look, and you can’t go wrong with it.
Ladies often wear long duster cardigans to get that cozy look of stylish modesty and men like to sport them to get a sharp fashionable look and comfort.
These long men’s cardigans are perfect options for that casual and leisurely occasion. They are a perfect match with a pair of skinny denim pants or cords. They go well with boots, sneakers, or even dress shoes. They will certainly provide you with that warmth from September through May whether you are in Midwest or Los Angeles by the beach. And, most of all, they won’t break your bank unless you are ready to splurge for a woolen yarn one like celebs do.
