Wearing shirt under sweater is a perfect way to style your look on a cold day or a cool summer evening. Shirts that you combine tastefully with a men's sweater will frame your body figure extremely well and make you look fit. This will also give you more self-confidence during the day or at work. You can achieve a suitable shirt and sweater combination in a versatile and effortless manner by following a few simple rules. For this reason, we have summarized a few basic principles from men's fashion as useful tips for you.
A classic trend
You can wear a sweater over a shirt almost anywhere, especially if it's a casual occasion where you need to look sporty and elegant. What's also great about this combo is the possible variations of shoes and pants you can use. Jeans, sneakers, sneakers and even sandals are also items of clothing that are suitable for this.
For example, if you want to be appropriately dressed during a church service, a shirt under a sweater is the right choice. For example, suit trousers and a pair of leather shoes are best suited for this. This combination can also be worn with or without a blazer, making it very accessible and perfect looking. This allows you to go from one event to another without having to change your outfit in between.
Adjustment of shirt under sweater
The rule of thumb in the fashion world is that your clothes must fit your body. Such clothes are made in the right size for you and will therefore never be too tight or too wide. So, well-chosen dresses that fit, are comfortable to wear and emphasize your figure, making you feel comfortable throughout the day.
When it comes to a shirt under a sweater, you can keep in mind that your arms and shoulders should always be slightly covered. The straps on the wrists of a knitted sweater should usually be tight enough so that when you lift them up, they stay in place instead of slipping down. If you want to buy cool sweaters and wear them with an undershirt, look especially for models with high armholes, as these have no excess fabric and therefore wearability is minimal.
There are several things you can check when it comes to the fit of the shirt, such as making sure the shoulder lines fit your natural contours. The garment should also be tight enough to touch your body, but loose enough to allow you to move freely and make all kinds of gestures, including raising your arms.
With Kent collar – which neckline for the sweater?
When it comes to sweater design, most sweaters have either a crew neck or a V-neck. However, if we are talking about shirt collars, they can have a variety of versions. So when pairing a shirt over a crew neck sweater, it would make sense to consider the type of collar. On the other hand, if you wear a V-neck sweater, the collar corner hangs with the shirt collar.
For example, traditional collars that are longer should be tucked in, while shorter ones can be left out without care. A good indicator of this is whether the collar tips stick out of the men's sweater or not. In both cases you can orientate yourself accordingly. As a tip, note that men who have fuller faces look best with V-necks as they elongate their necks. On the other hand, for men with oval fronts, sweaters with a zipper or a crew neck would look better.
Note the position of the shirt
The third thing you can consider when achieving a shirt and sweater combination is whether or not to tuck the shirt into the pants. In general, just remember that you never have to tuck a top into your trouser belt. Whether you tuck your men's shirt or not is more of a matter of taste, so in this case it's really up to you. However, you may find that wearing your shirt tucked into your pants is a more elegant option than untucking it. So if you're going for a more formal look, you can pack it, but if you want to go for a walk on the beach in the evening, you can leave it outside.
An equally important aspect that you need to consider is the front and back of the shirt. The two sides should look the same so that your outfit is completely balanced. It will also be bad if you initially store your men's shirt and then later decide to untie it during the same use. Once the shirt is in your pants, it should stay there the entire time.
Sweater over shirt – Various color combinations
Last but not least, you should coordinate the colors, prints or patterns of your clothes well so that you get an overall harmonious look. Here are some ideas on how to combine the colors of your clothes. If you don't know much about color coordinate, you can easily create a neutral plus non-neutral combination. In fashion, neutrals are those colors that go well with every other shade and with each other.
With sweater and tie
The main colors are black, white, beige, khaki, light brown, gray, ivory, brown, dark blue and so on. These can be worn with each other or with any other color from the color spectrum. For example, if you have a beige or light brown sweater, you can combine it with a men's shirt in a bold color such as pink, purple or orange. This will ensure that it looks perfect in terms of color matching. A neutral plus non-neutral color combination is always a good choice when you want to layer a shirt under sweaters.
Another thing you can do is use the same color in different shades for the two elements. For example, you can wear a red stand-up collar sweater with a light reddish shirt, with the duplicated color making a very subtle and elegant statement.
Thirdly, if you want to be more playful when choosing your outfit, you can mix two or more colors. If you choose two colors, you can either go for blue and green or red and orange. This means they appear harmonious and natural without being intrusive. Shades that fall on opposite sides of the color wheel can result in a bold look. This is because the two complementary colors make each other stand out by contrasting with each other.

If you combine three colors, for example by using a collar or aTie as an accent to the lookAdd, you can best use similar nuances. In the end, however, it is important to remember that a pattern is a symmetrically repeating construction. This can consist of an image with a clear composition or geometric shapes.
