The Best Sweaters For Men, According To Our Fashion Team

If you’re a guy who tends to overheat in sweaters even in winter, this is a great option for you. It’s made from cotton and Coolmax EcoMade polyester, which is breathable and moisture wicking, but the look is also elevated so it’s a marked step up from a sweatshirt. The Movement Crewneck comes in both standard and tall lengths and in seven colors.

J.Crew is known for the quality of their cashmere sweaters, and this style comes in a just-right weight. The key: You will be able to transition from the cold outdoors to inside without feeling like you’re suffocating from a hot sweater. It also comes in four guy-friendly neutrals that go with everything.

Part of the beauty of this sweater is that it’s streamlined in thickness and fit, but it’s also warm. Cut from 100% merino wool, it’s thermoregulating so you can maintain an ideal temperature without overheating. The slim fit also works well layered under a coat, and it comes in six colors.

Mack Weldon’s clothing is well designed with thoughtful fabric construction. This sleek sweater—made from Lenzing EcoVero, merino wool, nylon and spandex—has stretch so it’s neat and streamlined without being overly clingy. Reviewers love it for its warmth, breathability and fit. It’s available in navy or black—we just wish it came in more colors.

This polo shirt sweater hybrid features a three-button placket, collar and fitted-at-the-waist silhouette. The look is elevated, making it great for the office or dinners out, but it has a soft, lived in feel that you’ll love for weekends, too. This style comes in two colors—vintage heather grey and dark grey.

A quarter zip style is a staple for lots of guys because it layers well over tees and button downs. But you can feel good about wearing this sweater too, because it’s made from recycled plastic bottles and Seawool, which is partially comprised of discarded oyster shells. The Larchmont Quarter Zip is roomy without looking sloppy, and it comes in four grey and blue shades that can be worn everywhere from urban winter days to cool nights on your beach vacation.

Quality cashmere is invaluable, but finding quality cashmere at a reasonable price is like finding a unicorn. Quince’s turtleneck sweater is relaxed with a sophisticated feel, and it’s great as a standalone piece or for layering. Reviewers love this style for its quality, style and soft hand feel. It comes in three core colors.

For a sweater that will take you from outdoor sporting events to dinners with friends, we love this supersoft raglan style. It’s cut from a Pima cotton and alpaca blend and features a standard fit that moves with you and isn’t uncomfortably fitted. It also has knit-in elbow patches that add a chic and subtle style detail rather than old-man-ish feel.

Cut from a merino and lyocell blend, this sweater is ideal for pairing with khakis, corduroys and chinos. It retains its shape well, so you don’t get a stretched out, poufy look after a couple of hours or wears. This classic fit sweater comes in eleven colors, from neutrals to pastels to jewel tones.

This sweater is both classic and special, which means you’ll reach for it often. It’s knitted from luxurious 12-gauge cashmere that’s soft on skin and appropriate for all seasons. Plus, it comes in 14 serene neutrals and rich jewel tones, and it’s available in regular and tall fits.

Hoodies are the ultimate in relaxed weekend wear, but this one has a more pulled together vibe due to the cotton cashmere construction and ribbed detailing. The fit is on the roomy side, making this the perfect lounge-to-brunch option. Wear it with joggers or jeans for a pulled together off-duty look.
