Expert Answer

If you're someone who runs hot, choose thin sweaters, like a lightweight merino wool. Then, you can layer that over something like a T-shirt or a button-down shirt.

Unless you work in a very casual environment, it’s best to wear a dress shirt under your sweater. Allow the collar of the shirt to peek out under the collar of the sweater, but keep the points of your shirt collar tucked in. For a more formal look, you can also wear a tie under the sweater.

A crew neck sweater pairs well with t-shirts for a more casual look, or collared shirts if you want to go more formal. You can also layer a blazer over your sweater.

Can you wear a sweater without a shirt?

Some sweaters, such as turtlenecks, look fine without a shirt underneath. However, keep in mind that in cool, sweater-wearing weather, it’s usually best to have at least a couple of layers on so that you can adjust between indoor and outdoor settings. Also, sweaters made from materials like merino wool can be hard to launder, so you might want to wear at least an undershirt (with sleeves) to protect your sweater from perspiration.

It depends whether they are new or used. Always expect something to be priced higher if it is new, and check other sellers' prices to make sure you are not being overcharged.
