Men's Striped Sweaters

The striped sweater for men: an essential

From the traditional blue and white sailor sweater to models in more sober colors or, on the contrary, a bit offbeat: the striped sweater can undoubtedly be considered a basic. This must-have is just as effective for calming down a very sophisticated outfit as it is for enhancing a more casual look. In wool or cotton, the Eden Park men's striped sweater not only adapts to all styles, but also to all seasons.

Each season, we strive to reinvent this classic to keep up with trends. From the very contemporary model with fine stripes to the wider striped print of course borrowed from rugby jerseys, we offer it in current cuts and colors.

How to choose your men's striped sweater ?

The striped sweater offers a perfect balance between style and comfort. The round neck model is a safe bet, as it works just as well on its own as it does paired with a plain shirt. In winter, however, you can prefer a high collar, or even a funnel collar.

The Eden Park sweater is available in different materials throughout the seasons. The cotton sweater, or cotton and linen blend, is a perfect alternative to wool, especially when the mercury slowly starts to rise again.

This essential is available from size XS to size 5XL, to adapt to all silhouettes. To determine which one you need, simply take your chest measurement and waist measurement, and refer to our size guide.

In terms of cut, the regular fit model remains a safe bet, because it adapts perfectly to all silhouettes while ensuring pleasant freedom of movement.

Beware of preconceived ideas: yes, all men can wear a striped sweater. The secret is simply to choose it well. Horizontal stripes have the particularity of highlighting the bust. This print is therefore ideal if you are thin or if you have rather narrow shoulders: then opt for fairly thick stripes. If you have a strong build, favor fine stripes, which skilfully emphasize the silhouette.

What material should you choose for a men's striped sweater ?

The quality of materials remains essential to us, and to make our striped sweaters, we favor natural materials, which are the most comfortable.

Cotton is a very safe choice if you are looking for a versatile model, as it is both light and warm. You can adopt it as layering in winter, by putting it on a shirt, combined with a jacket. In the mid-season, you can opt for a cotton and linen blend, more suited to mild temperatures.

The wool sweater is obviously essential in winter. This material is both very warm, pleasant to wear and particularly flattering. Refined, light and very warm, cashmere is one of the essentials when the mercury starts to drop.

How to wear a striped sweater for men ?

To have a versatile model, capable of adapting to both a very urban chic style and a casual look, opt for sober colors. Navy, black, gray or beige are great choices, as these shades are easy to wear with any type of pants or jacket. The easiest to wear is undoubtedly the gray striped sweater, which allows you to create a contrasting outfit with both light and dark pants.

Fine stripes are a very safe choice for a very contemporary look. You can use it to create simple and effective layering, by combining it with a plain white shirt and a denim jacket, or by wearing it under a blazer.

The wide horizontal stripes are perfectly suited to a streetwear style: simply wear your sweater with denim and a cap. The good idea: adopt the round neck, and combine it with the polo shirt.

The navy blue and white sailor sweater has a decidedly summery character, and it therefore works perfectly with Bermuda shorts or chinos rolled up over the ankle in summer. For a style, a bit retro and full of character, choose the combination of your striped sweater and an aviator-style coat.

To harmonize your outfit, wear white pants or Bermuda shorts, and get a pair of navy blue shoes. For a more contemporary feel, pair it with raw jeans and a pair of white sneakers. The sailor sweater is far from being reserved for summer. In winter, accentuate the nautical spirit by opting for the model with a high collar, or by combining your Eden Park sailor sweater with jeans and a pea coat.

In the mid-season, the men's striped sweater adapts to a very casual look, to which it adds a touch of elegance. You can wear it with jeans and a sleeveless down jacket.

How to take care of your striped sweater ?

The maintenance of your sweater obviously depends primarily on the material it is made of. Cotton and linen are very easy to wear, and you can safely put them in the machine (between 30 and 40°).

Wool turns out to be more delicate. Hand washing is recommended. However, some models can be machine washed at low temperatures. It is therefore very important to also check the spin speed, then favor drying in the open air. Contrary to popular belief, cashmere is not such a complicated material to maintain — it simply requires washing in cold water. It would therefore be a shame to let preconceived ideas deprive you of a particularly pleasant sweater to wear !

To avoid any risk of shrinkage or deformation, remember to always refer to the washing instructions on the label.
