Green is the color that separates the men who think about what they wear from the men who just get dressed. Not olive, not khaki, actual green. Done right it works with grey trousers, dark denim, and brown leather in a way that navy never quite manages. The cardigan part matters too. A good cardigan is one of the most underused layering pieces in a man’s wardrobe, sitting better over a collar than a crew neck sweater and looking more considered than a zip up ever will. What we were specifically after here was green cardigans that look like they cost significantly more than they do. That means fine gauge knits, clean button bands, no cheap ribbing that bags out after three wears. The ones that photograph well and also hold up in person. Green is having a real moment in menswear right now, and these are the pieces worth getting into before everyone else catches on.
