Yesterday, we talked about how a shawl collar cardigan can be a great alternative to a sport coat for the work place. And when it’s done in a tailored black-and-white tweed pullover style, it’s just perfect for a night out. Wear a dark blue shirt and dark twill pants (we suggest black or dark grey) to keep it sophisticated. A black or charcoal t-shirt will convert this sweater instantly for a more casual look.

Vince - Wool Cardigan Sweater
X
When you’re heading out for the evening, its time to step up your style. Instead of a blazer - which, don’t get us wrong, we always think looks great – a zip-front cardigan can be a great alternative. If the restaurant doesn’t require a jacket (and, thank goodness, many don’t these days), you can still look dapper and pulled together, but a little more modern. The ribbing, shoulder detail, and 2-way zip of this tailored sweater provide a lot of detail, so it feels like a real anchor to the outfit - just like a jacket would. It looks so sharp with grey wool pants, a dark pattern shirt and solid tie for a snappier look. If your night is more casual, just add jeans and a t-shirt or turtleneck.

Peter Millar - Thai Jacquard 1/2-Zip Sweater
X
The black and grey jacquard pattern in this cotton sweater provides a dash of character. Sweaters for a night out certainly don’t need to be boring, but this isn’t the era of the Bill Cosby sweater, either. Peter Millar clearly delivers just the right balance with this one. It looks great with a grey pair of twill pants or wool ones. We recommend a solid white or blue shirt underneath to highlight the subtle pattern of the sweater.

BOSS Hugo Boss - Wool V-Neck Sweater
X
A dark navy wool v-neck is a must have in your wardrobe – not just for a night out, though that’s what we’re talking about today. It is so versatile. This one from Hugo Boss has a contemporary fit that we really like to keep the look from getting sloppy or too casual. Wear it with a dark rinse or grey pair of jeans to create that casual feel. And pairing it with a white shirt creates a classic, polished look. It also easily works with a small check or Tattersall pattern for a dressier look. Add a black oxford or dark brown suede shoe and you are ready to go anywhere (well, almost anywhere). For an easier, more classic fit, Peter Millar has a great version.

BOSS Hugo Boss - Marlo Wool V-Neck Sweater

For a more casual take on a v-neck, Hugo Boss has also made this sweater. It’s still quite sophisticated, in a more rugged way, using a mix of alpaca (similar to wool, but warmer and silkier) and wool. They've created some nice detailed interest with cross-over detailing in the v-neck. You’ll look downright dashing with a solid white or blue shirt and these Theory 5-pocket charcoal wool pants.

J. Crew - Italian Cashmere Waffle-knit Sweater
X
Every gent needs a cashmere sweater that looks great with your dark wash jeans for a night out to your favorite restaurant or bar. This J.Crew waffle stitch Italian cashmere is your answer. This heathered blue is so rich and really plays up the texture of this soft cashmere perfectly (though the grey and black that it also comes in are certainly winners, too). Layer it over a classic pattern shirt with a pair of black chukka boots to dress it up. Or keep it casual with just a grey t-shirt underneath. This is a sweater that will be as soft and comfortable as your favorite sweatshirt, but with a lot more style.
