- Replace the Sweater
A zip pullover has become a great replacement for the sweater. When the weather gets cooler men start looking at their sweater options.
The zip pullover works well for men that are looking for a sweater that is functional, sporty and casual even though it doesn’t always get treated as a fashion piece.
The zip pullover is also known as the half-zip sweater. Although some people don’t consider it a sweater.
With new innovations in fashion it is now moving into sweater territory which is why it is the number one secret way to use a zip pullover.
This garment is pulled over your head just like a sweater except it has a zipper which allows men to open it part way to make space for your face and allow for a little extra ventilation.
- Easy Way to Dress Up
The zip pullover makes it easy to dress up. All you have to do is throw the zip up pullover on and walk out the door.
It’s got a dressier look to it because it gives you a little more framing than a pull over or a turtleneck. It actually imitates the same effect as a collared dress shirt.
In fact it pairs well with a collared dress shirt underneath it and keeps the attention on your face. The zip pullover is very comfortable and convenient to be taken off easily and thrown back on when you’re on the go.
You can dress it up with some trousers and oxfords and then throw a blazer over on top of it to complete a dressy look.
