A men’s grey sweater is an easy way to elevate any outfit, and add warmth when the weather gets cold. See all your options in this style guide from Team SG.
It’s easy to dismiss a grey sweater as conservative or even dull. But do so at your peril, because a grey sweater (or gray sweater, depending on how you learned to spell it) might actually be your sneakiest style secret weapon.
Because a grey sweater is versatile. It’s understated. It’s sophisticated!
And whatever you’re picturing? A grey sweater is not just that. You could pair a cashmere turtleneck in charcoal with a suit and wear it to a winter wedding. Layer a heather grey cardigan over a white t-shirt and wear it with jeans and sneakers for a date. Wear a cable-knit sweater in pewter with colorful corduroy pants for a festive holiday vibe.
Like we said, it’s versatile!
The grey sweater can be whatever you want it to be. Just choose a style that feels like you and you’re off to the races.
Oh also? Men in sweaters are sexy!
Dressier than a sweatshirt, we promise that a woman notices when a guy artfully layers a sweater in his outfit.

Below, 8 stylish grey sweater outfits for men:
Wear a classic crewneck over a white t-shirt
Let a white tee peek out from your neckline for a modern vibe.
Wear a turtleneck under a great jacket
Is this the year you finally invest in a turtleneck that makes you feel like James Bond on vacation?
Fingers crossed!
Wear a mockneck sweater with jeans
If your standard sweater bases are already covered, it’s time to get a little funky.
A mockneck sweater with a slightly higher neckline than a crewneck could be just the thing to help you break the knitwear mold.
Wear a quarter-zip sweater with trousers and white sneakers
Sneakers are a great way to keep a sweater outfit from feeling fussy.
Wear a grey sweater with shorts
If warmth isn’t your main concern, then cool sweater outfits can disregard the season.
The interesting texture of this turtleneck is nicely offset by the athleisure shorts and boat shoes it’s paired with.
Go for a drapey silhouette
Want to make your layers look more modern? Pair generously-cut items together, like a baggy (but not too baggy) sweater and roomy dress pants.
Lean into monochrome men’s fashion
When it comes to stylish men’s outfits, grey on grey definitely does not mean boring.
This outfit proves the point – a crewneck sweater in a speckled fabric paired with corduroy pants looks chic is giving textures on textures.
You could also add a dress shirt or button-down shirt underneath if you want to take the outfit farther.
Wear a grey cardigan
You can see how a grey cardigan could quickly become a wardrobe essential when worn like this. There’s nothing nerdy or professorial about pairing one with dadcore sneakers and a denim jacket.
Opt for a thinner fabric like merino wool or even cotton so it’s easy to layer.
