The Burgundy Cardigans We Keep Coming Back To

Burgundy is one of those colors that does more work than it gets credit for. It sits close enough to neutral to pair with most things in a man's wardrobe, but it has enough presence to make an outfit feel considered rather than assembled. A cardigan in this shade over a white or cream shirt is one of the better combinations in casual menswear, full stop. We've come back to burgundy cardigans repeatedly because they age well in the wardrobe the same way they age well on the body. The color deepens with familiarity. What we've been looking for specifically is weight, because a thin cardigan in any color is a compromise, and structure around the button band and cuffs, because that's where cheaper options give themselves away fastest. The ones collected here cover different fits and price points but they all share the thing that matters most. They look better in person than they do in the photograph.
