Rules for Sweaters or Sweater Vests With Business Suits - Page 2

You can always do the Agnelli tie outside the sweater instead

I don't know that there are any set in stones rules but I reccomend that you only wear v necks with suits even if theres no tie. Plain colors and modest patterns are also best especially when worn in a bisnuess setting. Also make sure since sweaters fit fuller in the midsection that you have enough room in the body of the coat so you don't distort the fit or the jacket when wearing one.

Absloutley not, never wear the tie outside of the vest.

No dice. Unless the crew-neck completely conceals the tie, which is generally not the case, you're going to look like a dork. Get some v-necks if you need to wear sweaters at the office.

+1. The V-neck is best and one that's a bit on the snug side or with a suit thats notslim fitting or you're going to look like you have a spare tire swimming around your waist. Might even go down a size for the sweater or go with a vest if you plan on keeping the jacket on all day.

Uggh... the Jon Corzine look. I really can't stand v-necks with a tie, (actually, I really just don't tend to like v-necks.)




A button up vest, on the other hand, can be a great look. And while I don't tend to do the crewneck with a tie, there's nothing wrong with that.

The defense rests.

^^^Yes, a terrific example of it being worn well.

Agnelli was an idiot? Of course.

How about some thermals? Not as warm perhaps, but it's also out of sight.

^^^^ new here...........if your not sure about the sweater, thermals are awesome and warmer than the sweater vest.
Here though is someone who can pull it off



Go Buckeyes!!!!

With light weight fabrics it looks awful. With heavy tweeds it looks fine.

But, if it is zero outside and you need to go out, wear whatever keeps you warm.

This is a very nice look.

When wearing a sweater under a suit or sport jacket, are there any "rules" regarding sleeve length?

Great point, I couldn't agree more. I think sweaters with flannel and tweed suits look good, but not with lighter fabrics.
