The Sweater Your Fall Layering Rotation Is Missing

Crewneck sweaters are essentially the Swiss Army knife of knits: they’re the versatile staple piece that can work with everything else you’re planning on wearing this fall. That familiarity and ubiquity makes them a great place for designers to experiment — it’s as if they’re a blank canvas that’s just waiting for the right artist.

Enter the graphic sweater. Designers have taken the sentiment of your favorite statement and graphic t-shirts and applied it to the office-friendly staple. The results are varied and diverse, with a little something for everyone. Whether you’re just in the mood for something new or are in the process of building out a knitwear collection that would rival Drake’s, we’ve got you covered. A few of our favorites below.

8 Stylish (and Incredibly Warm) Fleece Jackets to Wear This Season

Favoring function over form, dads everywhere have long relied on shapeless fleece jackets to keep them warm as fall and winter roll in. But we’ve seen trendier takes on the suburban staple work their way into fashion over the last few years, as designers have made the fabric less Fozzy Bear and more streetwear. 

So how does one wear fleece without looking like a personified Nature Valley granola bar? The key, as with everything in menswear, is the fit. Avoid going too boxy or baggy and get a version that hits right at your waist. A good fleece should fit you the same way a good leather jacket does: not quite like a second skin, but close enough that it actually moves when you do. That way, it can do double duty, adding texture to a great off-duty outfit or as a layering piece (they’re great underneath a topcoat or a denim jacket) to keep you warm on frigid days. Below, a few of our favorites.

But the good news is that the right crewneck sweatshirt is probably well within the guidelines of your office dress code. It’s a stylish piece that you can dress up (they look great under a slim-cut suit) or down (with dark, slim denim) that will keep you comfortable all day as you channel your inner in between meetings.

Due to now ubiquitous nature of the athleisure look, there are great options at whatever price point you’re comfortable paying. Below, eight of our favorites.
