Style Roundup: Men’s Sweater Top Picks

You Can Thank Us for the Grunt Work Later

Ralph Lauren Merino V-Neck Sweater

ralph_lauren_merino_wool_vneck_heather_greenAa classic v-neck from the king of prep is never a bad decision. Great for taking a break from blazers with your work attire and sold in a slew of colors, this sweater will never age in terms of style. Note though, that it’s a tad more expensive (this is Ralph Lauren after all) and this version forgoes the Ralph Lauren pony emblem (a detail we appreciate). If you like the cut or prefer to be a walking billboard, go for the branded model.

Cost: $125

Express For Men Cotton Ribbed Military Zip Sweater

express_cotton_ribbed_military_zip_sweaterModern and form fitting, this sweater is the zip-up take on the aforementioned Eddie Bauer field crew sweater – with epaulettes and no forearm pads. It definitely leans on the court of urban clubbers, but also works as a quick way to spruce up basic tees.

Cost: $125

Old Navy Crew Neck Cable Knit Sweater

oldnavy_crew_neck_cable_knit_sweaterLooking for a one-winter sweater? Why pay more than $25? Old Navy offers the basic cable knit anyone can feel guiltless about punching a few holes through. Sold in three dark neutrals, you don’t have to spend all your money on alternatives unless cashmere is a must have.

Cost: $25

J. Crew Men’s Toggle Neck Hoodie

jcrew_mens_toggle_hoodyA second appearance for sweater king J.Crew. With so many good selections from this season, we couldn’t just pick one. Featuring prominent toggles dangling across its neck line, this sweater stands out even if you’re not sipping Mate in the Andes. Warm and slightly funky, throw it on once in a while to diversify your standard winter uniform.

Cost: $150

Urban Oufitters Koto Roadster Cardigan

urban_outfitters_koto_roadster_cardiganChanneling Brooklyn hipsters in a not so subtle way, we appreciate the clean cut lines of this cardigan when combined with its anthricite marled heathered coloring. Nice but not (too) professorial, it represents a good balance between hip and trendy.

Cost: $48

Vince Cotton Cashmere Crew Sweater

vince_cotton_cashmere_crew_sweaterThough it’s quite pricey being a basic crew sweater, it’s asymmetrical arm patterns provide a unique punch not found on other brand versions. Plus, for what it’s worth, we really value Vince as a brand and can attest to the quality and comfort of their sweaters.

Cost: $275

Nau Bunny Goat Hoody

nau_bunny_goat_hoodyEco friendly and soft to boot, the Nau Bunny Goat Hoody is a great casual option for trips back and forth to the gym or walking mans best friend. Throw it on, enjoy the comfort, and get going. By the way, what the hell is a bunny goat?

Cost: $185

Gap Buffalo Plaid Cardigan

gap_buffalo_plaid_cardiganLumber jacks clearly must be doing something right. Plaid and are in the world of fashion in a big way. Sold in both grey and classic red, this cardigan highlights your wanna be Wolverine with style.

Cost: $78
