Chunky Shawl Cardigan

 Chunky Shawl Cardigan 

It should be slim enough to wear as a sweater for layering, but chunky enough to stand on its own as lightweight outwear.

It doesn’t need a belt or patch pockets, although these details make it slightly more style-forward and convincing as an outerwear piece. A simpler style would be more versatile since it can be layered under a tailored jacket.

You can dress this thing up with a shirt and tie, dress it down with jeans and sneakers, or style it anywhere in between.

Fine-Gauge Henley

As always, fit is very important here. It should be elegant enough to wear with a suit (like here), snug enough to wear on the body under a shirt (like here), and have just enough room to fit over a shirt (and perhaps a tie) too (like here).
