The cardigan on the other hand, is a sweater that is distinguished from others by the fact that it opens through buttons or a zipper. It is named after the cardigan earl James Brudenell, who is believed to have been the inventor of this garment. Typically, they are made using wool or cotton as the fabric, and in recent years, it is also increasingly being used by women, as the classic twinset, after it was a predominantly male garment for several decades.

It is also much loved by Vintage fanatics, because in the ‘ 70s-80s it was one of the most worn and appreciated sweaters by people.

The turtleneck sweater

The Turtleneck sweater, on the other hand, draws its name from the famous film of the same name directed by Francesco Fellini, and which made history in Italian and international cinema. And this is due to the fact that it was the favorite garment of the main character, who wore it in some of the most famous scenes in the film. In the turtleneck sweater , the neck is covered completely. Not everyone knows this, but this garment was originally created as a work sweater, and then began to be used by major fashion designers after the 1970s.

The Vest

Then there is the vest, a sweater that is part of men’s clothing and is characterized by its necklines. Generally, it is used mostly in summer as a substitute for the jacket, as it is a very elegant garment that is worn during very formal and important ceremonies, events and holidays.

The vest is also one of the absolute most popular sweaters among the so-called “Generation Z,” and thus the very young. The reason is mainly due to the fact that Harry Styles, one of the biggest pop stars in the world, is literally obsessed with this garment. The singer wears it on every possible occasion, and this has created a real fashion among young people that has made it a very popular and widely used item of clothing among Gen Z.

Sweaters for the new 2024/2025 season: color choice is also key

For many also, the color of a sweater is as important as the pattern one chooses. Then again, it is evident how the choice of colors in an item of clothing, says so much about us, our passion of fashion, and what we want to convey. Those with a restless and shady personality often tend to always choose sweaters in very dark shades.

In contrast, usually those who have a lighter approach to life love bright, garish colors such as white, yellow or green. Compared with many decades ago, men today, thanks in part to the many cultural changes, appreciate brighter colors such as white or pink much more, whereas in the past most men’s garments often had dark shades.
