How to Copy Ryan Reynolds' Ultimate Cardigan Hack This Winter

WireImage

Warm as hell—and easy to pull off.

GQ Man of the Year Ryan Reynolds dresses how a modern leading man should (never too swerve-y, never too classic—just right). The Deadpool star has a set of signature style moves and he flexed one of his favorites last night: he rocked a cardigan—hard. To be specific, he wore a navy cardigan under his Brunello Cucinelli shadow plaid suit jacket. It's a subtle move but one that gives the effect of a three-piece suit with exactly zero old man stuffiness. There's also a seasonal practicality to the move: a cardigan adds a layer of insulation without adding any unnecessary bulk. Best part, it makes any man appear slimmer in the middle. Win, win, win.

And it's hardly the first time Reynolds has used a cardigan to his sartorial advantage:

At the MTV Movie Awards in April, he sported a cardigan under a sleek bomber. Earlier this year, he slipped the knitwear staple under a topcoat while promoting Deadpool.

All you need to pull off the same menswear win is a cardigan of a similar weight. We're talking the antithesis of chunky and wooly, which would be a thin merino wool or low-ply cashmere. You want a cardigan without a roll or shawl collar as that would interfere with the lapels on your suit, jacket, or coat (or all three). This move works best when the color of the cardigan is either neutral (tan, brown, or gray), or matches a tonal detail in the rest of your fit (like Reynolds' bold blue number). Consider the easy move your new winter style secret weapon...that everyone can see.
