Guys - Cardigan with nothing underneath

Im going away on holiday and have noticed especially during hot summer days men tend to wear cardigans or v-necks with nothing underneath. i think its quite a cool alternative to a shirt..but do you think even with just a cardigan over your body you will get sweltering?

woolen clothing is not the best material for keeping cool however may be more appropriate for summer evenings, try it and find out

Yeah sorry for not being explicit I did actually mean evenings...just hope that wont get too hot :smile:
A cardigan with nothing underneath?
Sounds a bit stupid to me

I have seen this on some guys and doesn't look as stupid as it sounds obviously dependant on the guy. I think those with massive beer bellies would have to be really silly if they thought that they would look attractive with their belly poking through gaps between buttons. I prefer the v-neck jumper with nothing underneath look to cardigans personally.

I think it could look a bit posey to be honest, but probably quite hot if you have a good body.

I don't want to blow my own trumpet but I only suggested this look precisely because I have a good bod - i gym regularly etc. but yes i can see why some would view it as a bit posey

Stop blowing your own trumpet :wink: :p:
I'm imagining it now - the guy might as well write "I am so indie and I know it" on his forehead. But everyone to their own eh?

I'll stick to t-shirts :redface:

Wear a tshirt underneath, less sweaty and uncomfortable.

Wear what you want to wear, don't let anyone tell you otherwise, unless of course you enjoy wearing nothing but a thong because local law enforcement might have a thing or two to say about that if it's flaunted in public.
Has anyone got a pic of this? I've never heard of it before. :p::biggrin:

a can see just having a jumper, but a cardie that only has a few buttons around your navel area may look a bit stupid. Might look like your a porn star. Dont see problem with a wooley jumper so long as the V neck is reasonably shallow.

Oh GOD it looks HORRENDOUS. Guys in cardigans in general: YUK. Those ones with the like plunging neckline there is NOTHING more vommit-inducing.

Just went Malia and a few of my mates were wearing them. Tbh not the best look.... if you wear like a skinny tie or something it looks pretty cool tho.

I haven't ever seen anyone wearing it, but I can imagine it'd be pretty unattractive looking.
no...no.no.no.no.no.no.no.....
it sounds very odd.

And the suggestion of adding in a skinny tie with only a cardigan sounds even worse!

Skinny ties remind me of that ****ing **** that was going out with that Chantelle off Big Brother. People exacly like him make me want to take up bullying.
