Cardigans under suit jackets?

[HempflingTM]

Is it ok to wear these? I'm quite fond of the look of a thin sweater under a suit jacket but I don't know how a cardigan would look. Any ideas? For those interested, I was thinking grey suit with black cardigan and tie and a white shirt.

i wear one a lot in the fall. usually under a sportcoat, not a suit. my favorite is a red cardigan under a gunclub sport coat and navy tie.

So its perhaps a bit more casual than classically work formal?

personally i think so. Im sure it can be done....butI would feel a bit awkward in a suit and cardigan so I think it would show. Kinda like wearing sneakers and a suit. some people can do it, but this skinny person of Italian descent cant.

Definitely a sport coat. Maybe with a casual suit.

agree....would look good with a cotton slim suit. Unfortunately my opinions only go with what I have to wear....and none of my suits are casual....I need to add one soon.

Agree with the above, no no with formal suits. Goes great with casual ones.

I prefer wearing a cardigan with a suit (non-conservative business dress look) than with a sport coat.

I don't like the look with city suits. A tweed or heavy flannel, maybe, but not worsted suits.

Have worn something quite similar to this recently and intend to continue buying pieces that can match the same idea.
