What the well-dressed man in SF will be wearing this season. This is your Essential Fall Style Guide, Part Two: in which we recommend The Sweater.
Nary a knit rivals the shawl collar.
From the smoking jackets of the 7th Earl of Cardigan down to Steve McQueen — wherever men have relaxed in style, there has been a cardigan with a shawl collar.
The laid-back secret: it’s fully capable of dressing down a tie and brogues, or dressing up sneakers and a tee.
Our favorites this season:
This wool cardigan’s about as soft and warm as it gets, and with its washed denim coloring it’ll play the grizzled veteran of your wardrobe. Buy online.
