Why It Works
Hart’s choice of a thick knit cardigan gives the garment a nicely structured shape that fits his body like a glove, easily taking the place of a more traditional, formal blazer.The dark color lends itself to a variety of looks–he could just as easily have paired it with black trousers or even something a bit more fashion-forward, such as plaid or pinstriped pants, and still aced the overall getup.The wrinkle-free white t-shirt worn underneath adds a soft, traditional touch that makes the look both comfy and classic.His accessories add a touch of personality to an otherwise simple look. The black on black shades are a nice touch.
How You Can Make It Work
Go for a cardigan with similar characteristics as Hart’s – that is, a thick knit that will hold its own and not droop on your body. Also, play around with what you wear underneath – a white t-shirt is just the beginning. For a dressier look, try a button-down shirt, or for something sleeker and more modern, go for a monochromatic combo, say all black or dark grey. Luckily, many designers and clothing brands see the value in a great cardigan, so you’ll have no problem finding one of your own.
