A mens cardigan is one of the most reliable layers in modern winter dressing. It brings warmth, structure and quiet confidence without feeling heavy or formal. At Selected, every cardigan is designed with simplicity and tailored precision, made for the man who values clean lines, premium fabric and clothes that hold their shape through daily wear.
This collection of mens cardigan styles is built for the modern Indian winter. Lightweight enough for daytime, polished enough for evenings and easy to pair with shirts, t-shirts or outerwear, these pieces are crafted to live in your wardrobe beyond one season.
Cardigans for How You Live
The Selected cardigan range includes essential styles for different settings and moods, from work to travel to late evening plans. Each silhouette is intentionally designed, using thoughtful details that bring clarity and character to winter dressing.
Zip-Up Cardigan
The mens zip cardigan is a clean and contemporary alternative to the classic sweater. The zipper front adds function and makes layering simple, whether you wear it open over a tee or zipped up as a mid-weight top. It’s an easy choice for commutes, office air conditioning or cooler evenings.
Our zip-up cardigan designs are knit in soft, structured yarns that feel warm without bulk. The collars sit neatly against the neck, giving a sharper line than a hoodie or sweatshirt. This makes the zipped cardigan a smart option for men who want comfort without losing polish.
Knitted Cardigan
The knitted cardigan brings texture to winter style. Crafted in premium knits with a steady hand feel, this piece is perfect for men who want warmth with a touch of depth and tactility. It works equally well over a t-shirt for casual weekends or layered with a shirt and trousers for smart-casual settings.
These mens cardigan sweaters are built to sit well on the shoulders, fall clean through the body and keep their shape through repeat wear. Ribbed hems and cuffs provide subtle definition, while the knit pattern adds quiet interest without loud branding.
Polo Cardigan
The polo cardigan is a modern staple in the collection. It blends the ease of knitwear with the structure of a collared shirt. The result is a cardigan that can move from desk to dinner without feeling overdressed.
This style is ideal for men who like the clarity of a collar but prefer the comfort and stretch of knitwear. Worn buttoned, it can replace a shirt. Worn open, it becomes an easy mid-layer. You can pair it with tailored trousers and leather sneakers for a look that feels put-together but relaxed.
Button Cardigans for Men
Classic button cardigans for men remain a winter essential because of their adaptability and quiet presence. They open and close like light outerwear, which allows you to control warmth throughout the day. This makes them especially practical in Indian climates where mornings, afternoons and evenings don’t always feel like the same season.
Our button-front silhouettes are cut close enough to layer under a coat, but relaxed enough to sit comfortably over a tee or shirt. Clean buttons, minimal detailing and balanced proportions give them a timeless quality.
Designed with Purpose
Every mens cardigan in this collection is designed with the same care we bring to our tailoring.
Fabric
We work with premium cotton and wool blends that feel soft against the skin while offering seasonal warmth. These fabrics are chosen to breathe, hold shape and resist sagging at the cuffs and hem. Knit structures are engineered to drape cleanly and sit well under outer layers.
Fit and Silhouette
The silhouette is considered. Shoulders are structured without being rigid, sleeves are cut for natural movement and lengths are measured to flatter the torso. Whether you choose a mens zip cardigan or a button cardigan, the fit is clean and confident.
Details
Each piece is finished with care: rib trims, neat collars and tonal hardware where relevant. The attention to detail reflects Selected’s belief that style is not about excess, but about quiet precision.
Where and How to Wear It
A mens cardigan for winter is not limited to one setting. It’s a part of everyday dressing.
Office layering
Wear a polo cardigan or button cardigan with tailored trousers and loafers for a work look that feels sharp, modern and relaxed. It’s an easy alternative to a blazer on mild winter days.
Weekend and travel
You can pair a zipped cardigan with a plain tee, structured joggers or sweatpants and minimal sneakers for airport days or drives out of the city. The zip closure makes it practical when temperatures shift.
Evening plans
A dark knitted cardigan worn over a crisp T-shirt and slim denim creates an understated night look. You can add boots or clean leather sneakers and you’re done, no extra jacket needed unless the temperature drops.
Layering with outerwear
Cardigans also work naturally under winter coats and overshirts. A mens cardigan sweater worn under a wool coat builds depth, without feeling bulky or restrictive.
A Modern Essential
A cardigan is no longer just “something to throw on when you’re cold.” For the Selected man, it has become part of his year-round style code. It’s what you keep on the back of your chair at work. It’s what you pack for a short trip. It’s what you pull on for a dinner that isn’t strictly formal, but still calls for presence.
In other words, the right cardigan helps you arrive looking put-together without working too hard for it. Each mens cardigan, whether a mens zip cardigan, a polo cardigan or a classic button cardigan, reflects simplicity, premium craftsmanship and a commitment to clothing that is built to last.
This is knitwear with intention: clean lines, thoughtful details and quality you can feel. Explore curated layers built for everyday confidence and build a wardrobe rooted in quality from Selected.
