How to choose the right men's round-neck sweater?
The choice of a men's round-neck sweater depends mainly on quality, material and fit. A quality sweater offers comfort and durability, two essential elements for a garment that accompanies men on their daily adventures! Before you buy, we advise you to take a close look at the finishing and the quality of the seams, because a good sweater has to stand up to washing and the wear and tear of time. But don't panic: at Freeman, details and finishing are our speciality ;)
In terms of materials, round-neck sweaters are available in several types of fiber, from cotton to wool to cashmere. Cotton is ideal for mid-season, as it is lightweight and breathable. It offers maximum comfort and is easy to care for - a must for your everyday life! Wool, meanwhile, is perfect for colder periods thanks to its insulating capacity. Some round-neck sweaters contain a blend of fibers such as viscose or polyester for greater resistance and easier care.
How to wear a round-neck sweater and what to match it with?
Men's round-neck sweaters go with a wide range of clothing combinations. For a classic look, simply wear it with jeans and sneakers, a combination that works for an outing with friends or a chill day out. You can also wear it with chino pants for a dressier look, perfect for the office or a more formal occasion.
In winter, don't hesitate to layer your round-neck sweater with a shirt underneath for a polished look. Leave the collar of the shirt overhanging for an elegant, slightly retro effect. Depending on the color of your sweater, choose a contrasting shirt to enhance your outfit. Round-necked sweaters in gray, beige or white can easily be paired with light blue or discreetly patterned shirts.
Colors play an essential role in style. Opt for neutral tones if you're looking for a versatile, timeless look. Round-neck sweaters in gray, beige, black or navy blue remain timeless classics. For daring men, brighter colors like pink or even shades of green can add a touch of pep to the outfit.
How to choose the right size for your round-neck sweater?
Choosing the right size for your round-neck sweater is essential for a harmonious, comfortable outfit. A sweater that's too big can make you look sloppy, while one that's too tight may not enhance your figure. To avoid this problem, take your measurements and refer to the size guide available on our website.
The ideal size also depends on the cut you prefer. If you like fitted looks, choose a sweater that follows the shape of your bust without being tight. For a chillier look, you can opt for a slightly loose fit, but don't go for oversized sizes like L, XL or XXL, unless that's your usual size. For a good length, the sweater should cover the waistline without extending beyond the hips, to keep proportions in balance.
Men's round-neck sweaters come in a range of sizes, from XS to XXXL, to suit all body shapes. A little tip: try on several sizes if possible to find the one that best suits your figure. A good cut is essential to avoid creases and ensure a good fit.
What are the best materials for a round-neck sweater?
The choice of materials is essential to ensure the comfort and longevity of your sweater. Cotton is undoubtedly one of the most popular materials, thanks to its softness and ease of care. It's perfect for everyday sweaters, especially for the shoulder seasons.
Wool is popular for its ability to retain heat and provide cozy comfort in winter. It comes in different forms, such as merino wool, which is soft and non-itchy, or lambswool, which is a little thicker but just as warm. For lovers of comfort and luxurious materials, cashmere is ideal: fine, soft and highly insulating, though often more expensive. Cashmere gives round-neck sweaters a silky touch and an elegant look.
At Freeman, our collections include blends such as cotton with a hint of polyester, to combine softness and strength, or wool blends with nylon for sweaters that warp less over time.
