Old-School...Oh-So-Cool!!

Guys, you too can play around with pullovers – we girls are yet to rob you off all your options :-)!! It's LOVE, you see - we love you too much to intrude into your exclusive private space! haha, yes, you are still reading my style-blog and we still are talking about pullovers :-)..

Ah, don't think of old daddy when I say, pullover - what do you say of this one?

Yeah, so what, if it's more like a morning-look, and with that pair of trainers, it's almost like you are straight from the jogging trail - but, with denims, you can always work wonders! And, this one, for me, is SO effortlessly COOL!! Not too much, not too less - just perfect - oh, and don't miss the swagger :-)..

For men, the points of concern should be the shoulder, the line along the sleeves, the middle part (obviously!!), and, as I always  say, the length. Your pullover should have strong shoulders, for that would create the base line of the structure. The lines should be straight, simple, yet, strong - not rounded. If it's of a thin material, it should flatter your arms by fitting snugly - and, if it's woolen, knit - it better be neat :-).

Take special care of the mid-part for this is where all (well, mostly) the problems begin. If your pullover is more round at the middle, you will end up looking more like Papa Bear - cuddly though :-) !! Ideally, the knit should be not too thick so that the lines are distinct and the fit accentuates your height, broad shoulders, and arms.

The length remains standard, I think - but, do layer it a bit with wearing something longer underneath so that it peeps through in a very casual manner. Just scroll up a bit to find out how to do it :-)

Besides shades of grey, blue, brown (do I need to mention black separately?) - plum, olive, and wine are the tones to watch out for. Round or V-neck - anything and everything if you are lean and lanky, but, stick to your 'V's if you think looking into the mirror and frowning at your own vital statistics is something which REAL MEN should NEVER EVER do :-) - Just don't bother - we don't mind it as long as you wear it with a bit of attitude and a smile on your face :-) .. 

So, pull out all the stops, go vintage-chic this winter, and pull it off with an old-school style pullover. Spotted any interesting pullover-look anywhere? Click it and send it to me here or still better, why don't you send me a couple of your own snaps in pullovers?
