Best Sweatshirts for Men Buying Guide

What color sweatshirt should you buy? – The first colors you should buy are grey, black, and charcoal grey. You’ll get the most use of these and they’ll pretty much go with anything. After those colors I would add a beige or a brown for a nice contrast, and then from there you can starting adding light blues, and reds to add some interest to your wardrobe.

How should a sweatshirt fit? – Sweatshirts are meant for casual wear, but you’ll want to dress it up occasionally so it needs to fit correctly. The first thing is to make sure you have the proper length. Too long and it looks like you’re trying to hide something and too short looks like you stuck in the 80s where half shirts were fashionable for dudes. Your sweatshirt should hit right below your belt line for a perfect fit. As with dress shirts, the sleeves should hit right at the top your hand if you have a bent wrist.

What can you wear with sweatshirts? – The reason I love sweatshirts is because contrary to popular belief they can be worn with a whole lot more than just jeans. Like I said above you can dress them up or down depending on your mood. One of my favorite outfits is to pair my sweatshirt with my favorite pair of wool pants, a trench or overcoat and a crisp pair of white sneaks or derbys. If you get the colors right you’ll look clean as heck. Below I’ve list some of my favorite outfits. You can see more on my Instagram page.
