A classic winter coat should be a staple in every man’s closet, but when you step indoors and peel it off, what’s underneath is every bit as important. A handful of warm, well-designed sweaters are essential to your winter wardrobe. Here, our knit picks.
Chunky Cable-Knit
You can’t go wrong with a cable-knit crewneck. They run the gamut from chunky to slim-fit, though the former are coming out on top this season. Your best bet is a wool and cashmere blend, guaranteeing comfort, with ribbed cuffs to keep the warmth in. Step out of the box with an autumnal color like forest green or rich burgundy, and throw it atop dark denim or neutral-hued chinos.
Cashmere Turtleneck
It takes a confident man to rock a turtleneck. Think James Bond and Steve Jobs. But here’s a tip: invest in a black cashmere one and wear it with slim black jeans, black dress shoes, and black-rimmed glasses (if applicable). You’ll instantly look sleek, smart and suave.
Waffle Crewneck
Ribbed, waffle textures are no longer reserved for Henleys and thermals. Sweaters are now being spun in the same lightweight, breathable technique, making them just as perfect for layering. Opt for one in fine merino wool and with a rolled neckline. It will look effortless over a white tee and paired with tapered joggers or faded jeans.
With the holiday party season on the horizon, you’ll have an arsenal of knits to pick from for work or play.
