Temperatures have been dipping down to the 50s and 60s the last couple of days, and in LA that means it’s time to put on a sweater. It’s a perfect time to don the fall fashion trend, the man cardigan, a hipster favorite and fashion classic. Today’s cardigan is effortless and casual, taking the iconic fashion piece from special occassion attire to every day wear. It’s grandpa-style done right. And if you don’t fancy looking like a stylish grandpa, you might like the fact that girls find it super adorable.

Simple and versatile, the man cardigan can be worn just as easily with jeans and a t-shirt as with slacks and a button up. Here’s how not be mistaken for Mr. Rogers:

1. J. Lindeberg Lymac True Merino Knit Cardigan ($111) 2. Nudie Big Bengt Dry Heavy ($179) 3. Nike All Court ($60)

1. Alternative Apparel Mr. Rogers Cardigan ($42) 2. Fremont Mark Drop Yoke Slacks Pants ($58) 3. American Apparel T-Shirt ($16)

With fall weather underway and a chilly forecast ahead, it’s time to put on a sweater, LA – actually, it’s time to put on a cardigan!

Here’s a tip from Gary, Seasoned-Man-Cardigan-Wearer: You don’t need to be hipster thin to wear this trend. Layer over non-bulky shirts like thin button ups or t-shirts. And wear unbuttoned on fat days.
