As holiday season approaches, gift giving is on most peoples mind. So ladies, if you want to buy one item that will dramatically affect the look of your man then buy him a cardigan.
As you can see from this shot, this gentleman would look great with just the shirt and jacket. However, he looks so much more refined (while maintaining a casual feel) by adding the cardigan.
The cardigan can also be very slimming. It eliminates that hard visual line where the shirt meets the pants and reigns in the visual paunch of a shirt that blouses out too much at the waist.
I was thinking about doing a set of “gift giving” posts. Little gifts that have a huge impact on a man’s look. I guess I’m getting ahead of myself because a good cardigan would be at the top of my list.

gift giving posts would be fabulicious.
it would give me more of an idea what to get for my man this year, he's very picky with his wardrobe. Mostly I do ok buying him stuff. but I have made regrettable purchases that fall in the category of 'not very masculine' or 'a little too artistic for me' (yep ..i can always depend on my love to tell me the brutal truth).

I don't love it.
I realize that I'm going against the grain here, but while a cardigan can look classy, in this instance, I think it makes him look LESS suave.
Cardigans are seen as the traditional domain of grandfathers. And that's why young, skinny men can pull them off. Very second degré. Like the uber-chic nerd glasses.
But the older you get, the less ironic it is, and the more you begin to look like a burgeoning grandfather.
On the flip side, had he left the cardigan at home, and unbuttoned another button, he would have achieved a much younger, more virile look.

As a vast majority of these comments are posted by females, that as a male who cares FAR too much about what he wears, I will say that Scott has hit the nail on the head with this one.
Ladies and Gentlemen, if you are looking for a gift, specifically something to add to your man's wardrobe, this is it.
My cardigans are my STAPLES. The always add to a look, specifically a layered look, without risking becoming cliche, such as with vests or a thickened look as with an undershirt, especially in the winter.
Also, as I am one of the 'privileged,' young men having the frame of an Hedi Slimane model, (or Jack Skelington…alright. I'll admit: just rail skinny,) it is not just perfect for slimming down a broad male figure, but also for balancing out most every male figure with a classic masculine shape.
Absolutely awesome. Well done Schuman :)

Thin knit cardigan under sport coat–very suave. Any cardigan without sport coat–very grandpa.
On the topic of sweaters, why are cable-knit v-neck sweaters for men so hard to find?
An annotated gift list, with the reasons to purchase/wear each item, would be very welcome.

Cardis are great–my husband rocks a few, and they and a little old-school cool while also adding warmth. A fine-knit, close-fitting cardigan is both good-looking and practical under a jacket; just make sure the shirt under it is fitted! And when it's really cold, a "grandpa" cardi over another (thin) sweater can work well.
And, my goodness, that gentleman is lovely!

My Father is a tad on the large side, but is working at slimming down. I know that he always talks about "the way he would dress if he were 50 pounds lighter" as though he has some genuinely good ideas, and based off of what he's told me, he definitely does! One question I had, as I'm more than happy to help him achieve his goal of dressing better, is what kind of cardigan would you find suited to a man who's perhaps a bit heavier? (And when I say heavy, I don't mean like 300 pounds, more along the lines of 220-250.

Great! First I thought it is a formal vest and then I recognized the cool twist the cardigan gives to the outfit. This little modern touch for this great outfit. The handkerchief gives the traditional "old" touch.
It is never boring and fits to many occasions.

As a woman, I love a man's cardie for myself. Take the basics…grey, black, navy and beige or chocolate and then add a few pretty pastels. This gentleman was born with elegance and niceness. I am brave enough to vote that he has both!!!

I really like the idea of "gift giving" posts. I hadn't thought to buy my husband a cardigan. I think most men in their 40s think of "Father Knows Best" when they think of a cardigan. I haven't made the effort to get him to re-envision the cardigan, but seeing this I think it's worth a try. Thank you!

It seems more likely that the fellow in the photo is wearing a vest rather than a cardigan.
Of course, I doubt either really improves his look since he's raffish to begin with.

Nice shot Scott. Following your blog has inspired me into italian style and layers, so my 'cardicount' is now 2 and rising. Unfortunately my wife doesn't 'get it' so I'm pleased that the sophisticated women who read your blog do! (I'm with them).
Go with the gift giving list – sometimes everyone needs a little nudge! (but no socks ok?!)

This guy looks good.
But… I will have to disagree with a couple things.
First, that cardigans are slimming. They accentuate a paunch. Second, that cardigans are refined. They have been standard issue hipster-slob wear for the good part of a decade.
