Men's cardigans: zip-up, V-neck or hooded, the knitwear that opens and closes
More versatile than a jumper, the men's cardigan can be worn open over a shirt or closed like a light jacket. The Jerem men's cardigans collection brings together zip-up cardigans with a stand collar, V-neck cardigans in merino wool, hooded cardigans and quilted hybrid styles, for warmth you can adjust in a second, over a men's polo shirt or under our jackets and blazers.
Cardigan or suit waistcoat: what's the difference?
A cardigan is a long-sleeved knit that opens at the front. It should not be confused with the sleeveless waistcoat worn under a suit jacket: you'll find those among our suit waistcoats.
Zip-up, V-neck or hooded: which one should you choose?
- Zip-up with stand collar: it protects the neck and is worn like a light jacket in the transitional season.
- V-neck cardigan: the smartest option, buttoned over a shirt, with or without a tie.
- Hooded cardigan: the relaxed version, for the weekend.
- Quilted cardigan: a quilted front that blocks the wind, with knitted sleeves for freedom of movement.
Which knit makes a truly warm cardigan?
Warmth depends on the fibre and the weight of the knit. A thick ribbed knit keeps you warm without a lining and holds its shape wash after wash. Some wool in the blend brings warmth, while technical fibres add durability. Quilted or neoprene styles keep their structure at the shoulders and block the wind better.
How do you wear a men's cardigan?
Open over a shirt and chinos, it makes a relaxed office outfit. Closed, it replaces a jacket on mild days. In winter, a fine cardigan slips under a coat for an extra layer of warmth.
Cardigan or jumper: which should you choose?
A cardigan opens and closes, so it adapts to temperature changes throughout the day. A jumper gives a cleaner line and more consistent warmth. Many men own both: the cardigan for the transitional season, the jumper for the coldest days.
How do you care for a knitted cardigan?
Close the zip before washing to protect the knit, wash cold or on a delicate cycle and dry flat. Avoid hanging a heavy cardigan on a hanger: the weight stretches the shoulders.
Why choose a Jerem cardigan?
Jerem men's cardigans pay attention to detail: metal zips, concealed zip pockets on some styles, suedette panels. They pair with our coats and our men's jumpers to build a complete winter wardrobe.
