There are some times when it makes perfect sense to go with a rugged classic, times when a brisk breeze beckons and you need a layer to stand up to that weather. In those times, my friends, I’d certainly reach for the Billy Reid Fisherman Sweater. If you’ve kept up with this very blog, you know that the Alabama-based designer reinvents the classics on a near-daily basis, and in this instance, that means taking inspiration from a burly, old-school fisherman sweater and then turning it into the one and only Billy Reid Fisherman Sweater.
That also means using rich and rugged 100 percent wool construction, a handsome raglan-sleeve knit for mobility, and then offering up classic colorways like navy and olive for the instant smash hit that is the Billy Reid Fisherman Sweater.
If that sounds like precisely what you need in your knitwear rotation this season, give Billy Reid a shot, be prepared to invest (the Billy Reid Fisherman Sweater will set you back $298), and then revel in cozy comfort this spring. It’s yours for the taking, my friends.
There’s no time quite like the present to take stock of your inventory of the best sweaters for men, right? Crisp fall days aplenty beckon, and with that comes the chance to layer in rugged, sustainable style. Wait… sustainable style?
Yes, it’s possible in the fall months thanks to Wellen, an in-house brand at Huckberry making perfectly casual style essentials with a focus on fabrics and fibers that are good for the environment (and good-looking, to boot).
It’s on fine display here with the Wellen Seawool Fisherman Crew, a rugged fan favorite from Wellen that seems to get better and better with each passing season. It’s part of the ever-stylish lineup of Huckberry men’s sweaters, but it stands out even in a crowded field, all thanks to its effortlessly cool good looks — and the right balance of sustainability, too.
You see, with the Wellen Seawool Fisherman Crew, the fabric really makes all the difference — you see, it’s not just rugged and seriously cool, it’s got that crucial sustainability factor. The Wellen Seawool Fisherman Crew starts out humbly enough, with material woven from recycled plastic bottles and oyster shells. Y
es, that’s right: Your new favorite sweater is crafted from oyster shells (in part), and it manages to retain warmth while offering classically good looks, thanks to that fisherman knit.
The Wellen Seawool Fisherman Crew is also quick-drying and anti-microbial, so you can wear it more frequently in between washes (which also saves water, and in another way, the environment itself!).
It seems the good folks at Huckberry have thought of everything, from sharp style to a range of rich, seasonally friendly colors and of course, a timeless sense of cool. Make your next sweater purchase the Wellen Seawool Fisherman Crew, and reap the benefits all fall ong.
If you’re anything like me, perhaps you enjoy swerving ever-so-slightly from the norm, even when it comes to normally more laidback style scenarios. After all, spring style essentials are always the right way to go, and it’s all the better if you switch things up a bit when you least expect. Take the lineup at Huckberry, for instance. It’s full of distinct changes of pace — for instance, when you might be tempted to reach for a more casual athletic logo sweatshirt, reach instead for the Relwen Shawl Collar Sweater. The change is simple, really: Any time you might wear a crewneck sweatshirt, swap that out for one of the best men’s sweatshirts while retaining that air of casually rugged appeal.
The Relwen Shawl Collar Sweater is a Huckberry Bestseller for a reason, and part of an entire lineup of classically inspired yet modern gear from Ohio-based Relwen. The brand takes basics like the chino or the quarter-zip sweater, reinterprets them with modern fabric, then injects them with an air of cool, unique style.
Case in point, of course, is the Relwen Shawl Collar Sweater. The French Terry fabric blend is soft and pliable, and plenty ready to layer over other spring style essentials, be it a rugged chambray shirt or your favorite henley. The shawl collar frames the face, while the unique button placket on the Relwen Shawl Collar Sweater is a nice style swerve from, again, the more traditional crewneck sweatshirt.
Best of all, you can wear the Relwen Shawl Collar Sweater in all the same ways as you’d wear that crewneck sweatshirt, and then some: Try it at the office with stretch chinos or on the weekends with tapered joggers. Just make sure you pick one up in good time for the rest of the spring season. Happy shopping, folks.
Although the days are positively flying by this winter, perhaps you’ve noticed one thing: It’s still bitterly cold out there, and that means you still need to bundle up in winter menswear essentials aplenty. Naturally, that’s where my friends at Taylor Stitch can help, and in a major way if you shop early and often this week. Now, as you’ve no doubt seen in shopping the brand, the Taylor Stitch Last Call section is something of a hidden gem, giving you instant access to an entire range of winter men’s style moves at discounted prices.
And while rugged picks like one of the best men’s jackets are always worth shopping at full price from the San Francisco brand, it’s the Taylor Stitch Last Call section that really delivers some serious bang for your buck. Case in point: Today’s featured deal, the chance to save 30 percent on the rugged Taylor Stitch Fisherman Sweater. It’s quite simply a standout deal for a classic men’s sweater, in this case made from modern, temperature-regulating merino wool in a thick, chunky fisherman-style ribbed knit.
Did I mention the Taylor Stitch Fisherman Sweater comes in two timeless colors for pairing with everything from tan chinos to inky blue selvedge denim? Yes indeed, and for good measure, the Taylor Stitch Fisherman Sweater boasts a double-knit ribbed neck for maximum warmth and coverage on blustery winter days.
And again, it bears repeating: The Taylor Stitch Fisherman Sweater is 30 percent off for a limited time, with a solid range of sizes available. The next time you need to layer up this winter, reach for the Taylor Stitch Fisherman Sweater — and save some hard-earned cash in the process.
The new year is, of course, an ideal time to really lean into some crucial style upgrades, and that includes investment-level pieces you might not have considered previously. In fact, stepping things up a notch and buying for quality over quantity seems to be a nice New Year’s men’s style resolution of sorts, and that’s where your new favorite winter sweater enters the equation (and your wardrobe), and it hails from one of your favorite menswear designers, for good measure.
The sweater in question? That’d be the Todd Snyder Italian Recycled Cashmere Sweater, as essential and investment-worthy a style upgrade as any you’ll make this season. And yes, it’s quite the investment at $398, but the Todd Snyder Italian Recycled Cashmere Sweater might prove to be the coolest, most versatile and high-quality sweater you’ve bought in some time.
Of course, you know the famed American menswear designer quite well if you read the blog, seeing as his namesake brand excels at making rugged shawl cardigans and of course, this sustainable cashmere sweater (and plenty more). Just what can one of the best men’s sweaters bring to your wardrobe? Reader, I’m glad you asked.
The Todd Snyder Italian Recycled Cashmere Sweater is billed by the brand as a “feel-good sweater in every sense,” and it’s hard not to argue with that logic. It’s visually appealing in terms of rugged texture, but it’s the fabric itself that really makes this refined cashmere sweater such a sustainable style winner.
It’s made from 95 percent recycled cashmere — and the Todd Snyder Italian Recycled Cashmere Sweater is made in Italy, for good measure — and then blended with 5 percent wool for even more warmth and cozy comfort.
The Todd Snyder Italian Recycled Cashmere Sweater also boasts that seriously cool waffle-stitch knit finish, and the crewneck collar is both casual enough to make this a weekend sweater, yet stylish enough to pair up with one of the best Oxford shirts for men at the office in the new year.
And again, yes, the Todd Snyder Italian Recycled Cashmere Sweater is pricey at $398, but an array of neutral, easy-to-style colors makes this a wise investment rather than a fun splurge (at least, in my humble opinion!). The next time you want to amp up your sweater rotation in a major way, consider investing in the best with the Todd Snyder Italian Recycled Cashmere Sweater.
First off, my friends: Happy New Year once again, and thanks for joining me as I talk about winter style essentials aplenty to start the new year. Let’s hone in on one casually rugged must-have to add to your seasonal wardrobe ASAP, though. You’ll find it, of course, at Huckberry, the San Francisco and Austin-based retailer of some of the most rugged, versatile menswear and gear on the market.
And for all those times when you’re in need of stylish seasonal basics, yet don’t want to drop too much cash for something that’s difficult to wear, well, that’s when Huckberry enters the equation. This is where the Flint and Tinder Highlands Guide Quarter Zip enters the equation: It’s an accessible basic that’s actually not so basic: It’s rugged, it’s visually appealing and it’s just plain cool.
And while quarter zip sweaters might normally seem like the type of sporty style you’d wear golfing, there’s a time and a place for one of the best quarter zip sweaters, particularly one crafted by Huckberry’s own Flint and Tinder.
It’s, of course, the details big and small that make the Flint and Tinder Highlands Guide Quarter Zip so much more than just your average quarter-zip, starting with the thick, ribbed-knit design with flecked detailing for plenty of warmth and visual interest. The blend of lambswool and nylon also adds a sturdy yet easily wearable appeal, whether styled atop your favorite henley or one of the best Oxford shirts on the market.
But perhaps the most notable, refined-yet-rugged part of the Flint and Tinder Highlands Guide Quarter Zip? That would be the waxed cotton elbow patches, a durable touch that turns this sweater into one you can wear as a top layer or mid-layer during winter adventures far afield (or closer to home, fetching more firewood or picking up a growler from your favorite brewery).
Yes indeed, the Flint and Tinder Highlands Guide Quarter Zip can really do it all, be it as a casual sweater to wear with the best blue jeans or as a visually appealing, unique sweater for Casual Friday this winter (seriously). Plus, the raglan-style sleeves on the Flint and Tinder Highlands Guide Quarter Zip broaden your shoulders while offering range of movement, and snug ribbed cuffs provide a secure fit as you layer this stylish quarter zip sweater all winter long.
Last but not least, the Flint and Tinder Highlands Guide Quarter Zip comes in cool color options aplenty, be it rich Burgundy, Light Grey or crisp Navy. The next time you want a durable, versatile sweater that’s anything but basic, be sure you’re rocking this seriously cool Huckberry sweater.
Building a proper menswear wardrobe is all about keeping things well-rounded, about having reliable pieces that can function well in multiple situations — and of course, it’s about finding men’s style essentials that are, well, fun to actually wear (on Christmas Eve and well beyond!). Imagine that, ehh?
One of the best cardigans checks those boxes, as you might be able to see above — it’s retro, it’s rugged, it’s easy to layer and it’s just a classic men’s style pick from one of America’s best menswear designers. Let’s carry on, shall we, and dive into the Todd Snyder Boiled Wool Shawl Cardigan — and why? Because it’s a standout example of the style, my friends.
Especially in the winter months, when grey, cold weather is the norm, it’s worthwhile to invest in a few cozy, rugged, comfortable pieces that can actually make dressing for the cold weather just a bit fun, or at the very least… more stylish. For my money’s worth, the Todd Snyder Boiled Wool Shawl Cardigan hits all the right notes.
One of the best shawl cardigans for men is assuredly an indisputable winter style essential and a personal favorite of this writer when the thermostat plunges in Brooklyn. Helpfully, the Todd Snyder Boiled Wool Shawl Cardigan is just about everything you need in the style, from quality to rugged appeal — and yes, it’s fun to layer up like Daniel Craig in The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo every now and again!
The specs on the Todd Snyder Boiled Wool Shawl Cardigan set it apart from the pack — and yes, they make it very much worth your while when it’s time to invest in one of the best sweaters for men this winter. Sadly, you won’t find this stylish men’s cardigan in the Todd Snyder Winter Sale, but don’t let that discourage you.
It boasts a classic fit, making it easy to layer over an equally rugged men’s chambray shirt or one of the best flannel shirts, and the shawl collar adds bulk, warmth and visual appeal (there’s a reason style icons like Steve McQueen loved the shawl cardigan, after all). The Todd Snyder Boiled Wool Shawl Cardigan comes in two crisp, classic colors (Olive and Navy), and it’s rounded out with three front pockets for visual appeal.
When you want a dependable, rugged, essential winter sweater, move the Todd Snyder Boiled Wool Shawl Cardigan to the top of your seasonal shopping list, and get that credit card at the ready — again, it’s worth the investment.

There’s never a bad time to bolster your winter menswear rotation with one of the best winter sweaters, and if you can embrace a piece that’s both classic and yet decidedly on trend at the same time, then I say that’s all the better. Enter the Buck Mason Natural Donegal Cable Crew, a burly and hard-wearing sweater to rival any one of the best men’s sweaters you might already have in your closet. Fisherman sweaters have never really gone out of fashion, serving as a classic reminder of when such sweaters were worn on the high seas and knitted primarily in the Aran Islands.
These days, brands like Buck Mason — already purveyors of one of the best men’s winter parkas and some of the best winter menswear deals — use modern fabric blends (like merino wool with nylon) to give sweaters like the Buck Mason Natural Donegal Cable Crew some added punch. The result is a durable and dependable sweater that looks every bit like the classic icons your grandfather (and Hemingway) appreciated so much, yet with performance for 2022 in mind. The thick knit of this sweater is primed for frigid temperatures these days, and at a sub-$200 price, it’s not hard to see why the Buck Mason Natural Donegal Cable Crew has been a hot seller.
The textured fabric and rugged knit of the Buck Mason Natural Donegal Cable Crew make it as inspired a sweater as you’re apt to find these days, the kind you can easily wear with other favorites from Buck Mason, naturally. Take the Buck Mason Natural Donegal Cable Crew and pair it with slim, dark Buck Mason men’s jeans and your favorite pair of leather boots for a tried-and-true combination that works at the office on a casual Friday or for a weekend brewery trip. Better still, the Buck Mason Natural Donegal Cable Crew works when worn with an Oxford shirt (again, at the office) or atop — or beneath! — a more rugged flannel workshirt. It should be cut with enough room to layer, which is a great thing considering it’s knit thickly enough that you’ll want to reach for it when winter is at its worst.
The Buck Mason Natural Donegal Cable Crew features hand-linked panels, a careful process that extends the life of the garment beyond just sewing these panels. All in all, it’s precise-yet-rugged design touches that make the Buck Mason Natural Donegal Cable Crew one of the best men’s winter sweaters, far and away. It’s pricier than your standard V-neck or crewneck sweatshirt (the Buck Mason Natural Donegal Cable Crew retails for $198 at Buck Mason), but it’ll go a long way towards making your winter that much warmer and more stylish. Consider adding it — or any one of Buck Mason’s stylish sweaters for men — to your wardrobe before it sells out.
