For the show, he kept it pretty relaxed wearing a designer yellow knit cardigan with pearl embellishments. Not something an average guy would wear but he made it work by styling the sweater with a pair of khakis and Timberland boots lol. If I was a guy, I probably would not pick this sweater, but some people do like different things. It’s designer, so people would wear it, if they were into fashion lol. I’d wear it on a nice date night, sporting event, or an evening boat ride. See more photos inside, video clip and the designer of the cardigan…
