How to Buy a Manly Cardigan

Since both sexes wear them, how do you tell a man’s cardigan from a woman’s or a featureless “unisex” garment?

Your first tip will be the fit:  anything too tight against the skin is probably meant for ladies.
They look a lot better than we do when they’re stretching the limits of their sweaters; guys just look overstuffed and uncomfortable.  A good cardigan should have a little bit of a soft drape at the shoulders and hang low enough that it covers your belt when it’s buttoned up.
Big round or decorated buttons are also a feminine feature.  A man’s cardigan should have modest buttons, wooden “toggles,” or a zipper.  The latter is the least formal and downgrades the cardigan into something more like a sweatshirt, so be cautious.
Zipped cardigans are fine as casual outer layers, but they look a little goofy under a nice blazer or paired with good slacks.
