Thank you Antonio. I’ve stepped up my style game after many years of going more casual and rugged. That said, I still like more natural fabrics like cotton, silk, modal, and rayon. Collars & Co polo’s with the dress collar are all ploy/spandex. Have you tried their Maranello cotton/silk blend to know how structured their collars are?
I love the concept of Collars & Co. but not crazy about polyester. Wish they had more 100% cotton options. Great video though Antonio! As always! Thanks
I'm almost 39. I work in a field that generally sees 18-24 year olds. I look 20 so it's easy enough to blend in, but I don't like the ultra casual style everyone around me wears. It's a tricky balancing act to want to dress up without looking dressed up, and these sweaters with collared shirts, untucked and sticking out the bottom a bit, seem to be the right choice for me
I wear a lululemon long sleeve shirt under my sweaters. Thin and breathable. Antonio, your account is so valuable for those who need or want guidance in learning to dress well. I would love it if you started a series on how to build confidence. The ultimate flex.
I bet Antonio would say that clothes can help you discover your confidence by making you feel good + inspiring others to see/react to you according to the image you choose to curate. "Enclothed cognition"
Nice video. Just not a fan of using a zip sweater with a shirt and tie. You are better off with a blazer or sport jacket. Like all style, some guys can pull it off effortlessly and others can’t. Just a matter of preference.
I've never been much of a fan of combining a blazer or sports jacket with a tie. Or with a sweater, for that matter. I think it's a must for suits, but only then. Having said that, a cravate and blazer or sports jacket is a good choice. Through my eyes, anyway.
@@PietervdvIf I wear some kind layer over my shirt, it's almost always in combination with a tie. Shirt withouth jacket or sweater: very casual. Without tie is ok. But clothes would be boring if everybody were to dress the same. Cravate? Great, too. But I only have 2 or 3 because I hardly ever wear them. Or do I hardly ever wear them because I only have so few? Who knows... 😂
Imo a lot of the advice from this video can apply to adding jackets, especially in regards to contrast in fabric and color. Personally I think two looks can work really well when it comes to sweaters and jackets. One is the more casual, but more visually striking look of a turtleneck sweater with a suit, maybe throw in a draped scarf in the mix. In this case it can be fun to play with contrast a lot, for example one of my university professors was wearing a muted red turtleneck with a gray prince of wales pattern suit, with a beige scarf. He pulled it off great, but I wouldn't recommend it for more formal settings. The look I tend to go more for is a v neck sweater, with a tie underneath and either a sport coat and trousers or either way a more casual suit. I'd recommend heavier wool fabrics as the goal with this look is to make the sweater almost look like a part of the suit, still maintaining a bit of contrast, but overall maintaining a sense of cohesiveness. For example I have this olive green patterned sport coat, dark green velvet pants and an olive green v-neck sweater. I added a tie with earthy tones and an olive green paisley pocket square in a puff fold and the look was great, very elegant, definitely a bit more formal than the previous look. All of the pieces were a bit different from one another in terms of colors and fabrics, but they were close enough to form a cohesive look
I can say this guy answered every question and the one that made me look it up. I love my button collar sweater and I was like damn how can I or even should I make this dress shirt and sweater work. Thank you, you answered my concern and even taught me something and this was the first video I clicked on. Definitely would subscribe if I could
As a guy who wears quarter zips regularly, my standard practice is to make sure the shirt will look good on it's own. I guarantee there will be an occasion where you need to remove your sweater. Ruminate on that for a minute. 😉
Nice. The weather in the part of India where I live does not present very many opportunities to wear sweaters. But I prefer the quarter zip or the V neck the very few times I get to wear one.
@@melwynphilips856 I live in Sweden and I think it’s to warm to wear shirt and sweater inside 😅 can’t even imagine living in India and wear this. Like the style but just think it’s to warm even in an office. T-shirt underneath it’s fine most times but not a long sleeve shirt.
As somebody from Atlanta, I find four layers to be ridiculous. But I could see three, in the absolute worst conditions. Other than that, I'd agree with everything in this video. I have the blue quarter-zip shown at 7:40, (or something close to it from C&C), as well as the the shirt on the left. I find that if I'm layering, I tend to go with a white shirt and a colored sweater, so I don't have to think much about it. The shot at 8:30 is great, because the tie's color and pattern mesh with the sweater's so perfectly.
Perfect timing as I had my onlune shopping cart filled with sweaters. This video helped me narrow down my choices to the best choices for me. Thank you.
I always carry a pack of wet wipes in my man bag. Then I can immediately clean-up any stains or splashes as the occur and look clean a neat at all times.
What do you do with the cuffs of a long-sleeved shirt underneath a sweater? Sometimes I like the look of it peeping out like with under a suit - what do you think?
LOL. Great beginning, Antonio. Good joke!! I just noticed that watch in your intro. Nice. How about an updated watch video? Just asking... Maybe. Also, how about cravats? Thanks.
Not a big fan of quarter zips and never EVER wear a crew neck. I also prefer the V-Neck; and the deeper the V, the better (shows off more of your tie). I also tend to wear sweaters under a sports coat.
Finally, someone who appreciates V-neck sweaters over crew neck sweaters. Crew necks doesn't look good with a collared shirt, it looks cramped up and tight. You're better off wearing no collar at all.
Yeah, with a crew neck, it just feels like you're trying too much by trying to wear a collared shirt underneath. The V-neck allows you to do more. Also, you can't really have too big of a crew neck collar or it looks dumb.
Hello; I been seeing a lot of your videos awhile - both old and new content, just wanted to know how one can opt into getting your RMRS challenge coin - lot of your content has been resourceful and helpful in many ways and the written context of your challenge coin I have seen really resonate in personal sense to help get through a lot. Thank you.
I'm never a fan of having collars of the same length touching in outfits. Having the collar on the shirt and a popped collar on the sweater is too much visual bulk around the neck. It gets to be a little too Steve Bannon. It's fine to have a collared shirt with something like a crew neck, but as soon as your sweater has a collar I don't think a collared shirt belongs under it.
Great tips. I love the look of a sweater in the fall and winter, but TBH I hate wearing them. IMO they are too warm, itchy, and confining. Not something I wear if I want to be comfortable.
I find v necks look better when shirt is worn with a tie or button down but not good with other shirts . Also, I slightly prefer crew necks because I’m a slimmer guy and v necks don’t really flatter me in the way they do for guys who are built. Flipping it round, crew necks look good on slim guys but not that much on bigger guys.
Still love wearing a cashmere waistcoat for a more (smart-)casual look, don't see anyone else wearing them but get a lot of compliemnts when I wear one. *Has nothing to do with your video necessarily, just something I don't remember you ever brought up.
How can you hide the buttons on a button up shirt when layering with a sweater. I struggle with this because I feel it detracts from the overall look… any insight/input is appreciated!
Finding a good quality wool sweater that doesn't cost several hundred dollars is nearly impossible now. Most of what's on the market is synthetic or if it's wool it's bottom of the barrel junk.
Perhaps instead of showing random round swatches of colours that are red, green and yellow, which do have neutral hues, you could provide examples of actual shades like burgundy, hunter and olive green, tan or khaki. Because calling fire engine red, Kelly green and lemon yellow neutral is erroneous at best.
Don't wear a sweater. Wear a jacket, instead. Bonus points for leather. When are we getting shoulder pads for an extra humph without the required sacrifice at the gym, Antonio? Let's make America's shoulders great again before we're too old to pull that look off. 😁
Wow, 1/4 zips, huh? I remember having a zillion of those from BR in the '00s. They must be out of style by now, don't you think? Nonetheless, I think they look terrible on guys over 45 or 50, like cargo shorts or leather jackets. Go with a classic crew or vee neck, or even a cardigan if you can pull it off without looking like you escaped from a nursing home.
For me, the sweater collars needed to be folded down. The way the collar stands up and the front corner pokes out and can rub your neck or chin when looking down is immensely annoying and uncomfortable. Whether fashionable or not, it looks unbalanced and weird. You do you.
Stand up collar over a down collar is not a good look at all. The sleeves on button down shirts are way too loose for the ribbed look of a sweater. A sweater over a thermal/waffle shirt and or a sweater is the way to go. Sport coat/blazer/suit jacket or trucker jacket works with oxford, flannel, corduroy and other fabric button downs.
He's overthinking casual vs. overly casual or something and that's somehow MY mistake? That sweater looks pretty olive to me unless we're really splitting hairs from the crayon box.

Some good stuff here, but 'No' to the quarter zip with jacket.
Any man that’ll tell you he’s wearing pants in his videos, is certainly not wearing pants in his videos.

Hurrayyyy you are telling us the brand to look at 🙏👍

Exactly.
V neck with a tie
@@jdhstyles Ideally the V neck collar angles should match your shirt collar's. It should not be shallower or deeper otherwise it looks unbalanced.
It happened again. TH-cam suggests Antonio's video. An hour later I find myself in a store buying. And I look better😂
So, thanks!
I prefer the Gene Kelly look when wearing a V neck short sleeve sweater

Same. By the time I usually see them they have hundreds of comments.
whats the discount?
Not keen on the half button sweaters.
Love it.
Finding a good quality wool sweater that doesn't cost several hundred dollars is nearly impossible now. Most of what's on the market is synthetic or if it's wool it's bottom of the barrel junk.
I wear a sweater when it's cold. Can this be wrong?
Haaaa. Well played Antonio. How did I miss this. You had no pants on. 🙈
😂
Size differences of sweater vs. shirt. Should I wear the same size sweater with the same size shirt ?
Gotta find big and tall versions of things. 2xlt at most places are crap
I prefer having only one collar. There is something intentional and elegant with the simplicity.
I like a polo with a sweater.
Yellow isn’t a neutral, unless it’s muted.
IMO zip sweaters are too overused nowadays. V neck or tennis sweater can set u apart.
You wash sweaters? 🤔
How about an over 60’s video!

This is that "I have 4 kids" type of style
I am a teenager and I'm 15 I want to be just like you
Next question: How to match pants with your sweater and the shirt underneath?
Haven't seen this Gent in years. He speaks fast like the tik tokkers do. Still a man of class, what happened to the old hand gestures? Lol
Who cares, just wear what makes you happy and feel good
My 2 cents: The inner layer should be the lighter colour.
Half-zip sweaters with a shirt 🔥
Don't wear a sweater. Wear a jacket, instead. Bonus points for leather.

1/4 zips are still in style. Scratch that, they’re timeless.
QZips never go out of style, they've become pretty much as timeless and classic as many traditional Menswear
LOL PANTS
It’s the sweater to pant transition the I hate. Always looks dumpy. Like feminine fashion muffin top.
T-shirts and sweaters definitely screams no style sense. Makes you look like a confused teen whose mother no longer dresses him.
For me, the sweater collars needed to be folded down. The way the collar stands up and the front corner pokes out and can rub your neck or chin when looking down is immensely annoying and uncomfortable. Whether fashionable or not, it looks unbalanced and weird. You do you.
SweaterBlazers are a bastardization of the blazer. Split personality.
I am not into zippered sweaters. There is something blaspheming about the concept of a sweater with a zipper.
I hate this fashion trend of layering, it even beats the sweater tied around your neck as a cape -trend
You must not be from the east coast, layering is basically a fact of life due to fall weather going from cold to hot in the same afternoon
Im from west coast, of Finland.
Quarter zip is such an american thing to wear 😅
Try zip or regular cardigan better
Still immature when the USA talk pants. Also the no pants comment at the beginning make me think he’s full ‘Winnie the Pooh’ for the rest of the video
Really don't like that collar-up look on the sweater...its too reminiscent to me of the 'douchebag' polo shirt collar-up.

Quarter zip is likely too casual for proper office use.

cashmere is softer than wool but I don't think is any warmer than merino, just costs way more.
