Mens Spring Summer Fashion Formula #6: Dress up a Cardigan with a Tie
May 13th, 2009
We’re inspired by the upcoming film 500 Days of Summer (saw it at Sundance, highly recommend it) - and particularly by the creative-yet-wearable work style of the main characters, played by Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Zooey Deschanel. Gordon-Levitt’s character has a penchant for the button-down + tie + cardigan combination. It’s a great fashion formula, particularly for guys in creative industries. Here’s how to get the cardigan + tie look:
1. Start with a base of a button-down shirt and a pair of straight leg jeans.
2. Slip on a tie over your button-down shirt. For a more youthful look, try a tie in a narrow width.
3. Add on a cardigan sweater. Bonus points for interesting colors or patterns.
4. Finish off the look with a pair of tailored oxford shoes and a sophisticated messenger bag.

The two of them were in “Manic” (2001) together and made a pretty good pair–I’ll check out this new movie as well.

They definitely have good chemistry. I believe the film is coming out in July - a bit of a wait, but I appreciated the characters, the storyline, and the overall look of the film. Hope you enjoy it too!
