Menswear: 4 Sweater Styles To Try This Fall
As the mercury steadily dips, it’s time to upgrade your fall wardrobe with knitwear that’s as cool as the plummeting temps. Here we’ve rounded up four key styles that are sure to see you through the season.
THE CLASSIC CABLE
Few styles boast a history as expansive as the classic cable-knit sweater. Originally favored by seafarers and fisherman for its durable knit construction, this hardy pullover later developed a preppy Ivy League persona thanks to the scholarly gents who donned it with vigor.
Dunhill Cable-Knit Cashmere Sweater $990
THE BOLD BLOCKBUSTER
Forget subtleties, knitwear by Gucci is made to be seen. Crafted in Italy from plush wool yarns, this statement-making sweater features a nubby bouclé dragon appliqué—a bold detail that’s sure to spark conversation at the pub.
Gucci Appliqued Wool Sweater $1,280
THE JACKET SWAP
During the cooler months with that end-of-fall-not-yet-winter feel, try swapping your blazer for a knitted cardigan that does double duty in comfort and style. We love this version from Incotex—knitted from plush virgin wool in a traditional rib construction, it features a detachable down gilet for extra insulation on brisk days.
Incotex Ribbed Virgin Wool Cardigan With Detachable Hooded Down Gilet $1,120
THE ROLLNECK
The Beat Generation wore rollnecks as a rebellion against traditional formalwear, and a sleek cashmere version is an easy way to emulate that signature brand of that sophisticated irreverence. Opt for a style in a bolder new-season hue, like this rich burgundy pullover by William Lockie.
