A v-neck is not your grandfather’s sweater. The cut accentuates your upper body and frames your tie (if you’re wearing one) better than anything else your wardrobe.

You don’t need a dozen sweaters in your wardrobe. Just get one or two you can interchange with your shirts and/or ties or just pair it with a good undershirt and you’re set for the fall. Throw on a sport coat and scarf and you’re set for winter. Simple.

The classic-fitting Merino Wool V-Neck from Polo Ralph Lauren is a lightweight sweater without any frills and available in a myriad of signature Ralph Lauren colors: library green, carriage red, flannel heather, puritan gold, caper green heather, guild purple heather, hunter navy and our favorite: polo black (pictured here).

• Knit from extra-fine merino wool yarns in a 12-gauge jersey stitch.
• V-neckline.
• Ribbed neckline, cuffs and hem.
• Our embroidered pony accents the chest.
• 100% wool.

What this means to you: Get one or two and your winter wardrobe is set.

Cost: $145 @ Polo Ralph Lauren
