{My Man Mondays} The Cardigan

While visiting with Matt's family over the Christmas break, my fashion blog came up, and I was asked the intriguing question "Do you ever do men's outfits?". I answered no, but that was an avenue I wouldn't mind trying. Then we got into the topic of what it is now. Of course I had to throw out the cardigan (my obsession now continues to men's fashion). His wife laughed and said "Mr. Rogers cardigans?".....mmm, actually yes :)

Because of this intriguing conversation I have decided to start My Man Mondays, because lets be honest women (or most of us), we dress our men (or maybe should. Now every Monday you will have some inspiration on the side of men's fashion.

Enjoy our first My Man Monday!

Here are a few examples of some cardigans that work for men these days. If you can't tell, there really is not a limited supply of designs that work. These are dressier ways to wear a cardigan. You can throw the cardigan over a button-up like in the left upper picture, and then roll the sleeves. Rolling the sleeves up is the important part of the outfit to make it less Mr. Rogers and more "up-to-date". 

Here is the more casual way to wear the cardigan; just throw it over a tee (v-neck or round), and put on a pair of jeans. Comfy and warm with this chilly winter and add a cardigan with a fun (masculine) color like mustard yellow for the spring season. 

I just liked this in-between classy and comfortable look with the tee underneath, but paired with khakis to make it slightly dressier for a date. 

Ok, ladies, this is just our first day. Get ready to dress that man up. And Mike, here is your how-to to wear that cardigan that you wanted to buy, without looking like Mr. Rogers :)
