Style Pick of the Week: Todd Snyder Wool Shawl Cardigan – Winter’s Most Rugged Sweater

Best shawl cardigan for men.

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 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 the Todd Snyder Shawl 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 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 Shawl Cardigan to the top of your seasonal shopping list, and get that credit card at the ready — again, it’s worth the investment.

Best men's flannel shirt

Every guy needs to check certain boxes with his winter wardrobe, like ensuring you’ve got a well-stocked stable, so to speak, of the winter style essentials you’re going to wear every single day. That might be something like a stylish cashmere beanie or one of the best watches for men, but let’s go a little more broad and consider your rotation of the best flannel shirts for men.

Like a beefed-up version of your favorite Oxford shirt, the best men’s flannel shirts offer serious style points and critical winter warmth, and the Todd Snyder Brushed Flannel Shirt is a supremely cool pick-up right now. Made from a super-soft cotton flannel, Todd Snyder says the shirt is “as cozy as it is classic,” and the key is the addition of Tencel fibers for durability and a touch of stretch.

The Todd Snyder Brushed Flannel Shirt also boasts a classic fit and a button-down collar as a casual style touch (not unlike that trusty Oxford shirt). Crucially, the Todd Snyder Brushed Flannel Shirt also features other small, elevated touches, like a chest button pocket for a dash of visual interest. This makes it a more casual shirt that you can wear untucked, sleeves rolled, with dark blue denim and your favorite pair of boots (unlike, say, a traditional dress shirt made to be worn tucked in).


Best of all is the fact that the Todd Snyder Brushed Flannel Shirt looks seriously cool whether worn in rugged fashion with one of the best men’s cardigans or styled with one of the best winter blazers for men. This stylish flannel shirt becomes even more appealing when you consider the five neutral color options, each with enough crisp, richly crafted style for any winter wardrobe.

Best cashmere beanies for men.

Shopping for the best gifts for the stylish man in your life is difficult enough, right? After all, there’s a plethora of options when it comes to the best luxury menswear essentials, but few that are actually agreeable in terms of price (and it’s also difficult enough to shop for the man who seems to have everything). That’s where the Todd Snyder Gift Guide can help you cruise through your shopping list as you search for the best gifts for men. Witness today’s standout pick, the Todd Snyder Italian Recycled Cashmere Beanie.


You might think of it as checking all the right boxes when it comes to the best beanies for men (not to mention the best affordable gifts for men), and it’s yet another example of how Todd Snyder gets so many things right on the menswear front. You could certainly splurge with one of the best shirt jackets from Todd Snyder, for instance, but why not shop a bit more affordably, yes? And it’s truly possible to blend affordability with refinement and style from one of the country’s best menswear designers.

To wit, the Todd Snyder Italian Recycled Cashmere Beanie hits the right notes in terms of utility (every guy needs a standout winter hat, yes?), as well as luxe design.

Style Pick of the Week: Todd Snyder Guide Shirt – Fall’s Most Refined Shirt Jacket

Best men's shirt jacket for fall

If ever you were looking to strike the right balance between rugged and refined, there’s no time like fall to really take care of business with the best men’s style essentials. And for my money’s worth — as you know if you scour The Style Guide for the best fall style picks on the daily, few designers do that better than Todd Snyder. The Iowa-born designer takes the classics and upgrades them in ways that make them work in both NYC and back in the Midwest, as with the handsome, well-made Todd Snyder Guide Shirt.

It’s the perfect example of the, well, rugged-meets-refined look championed by the brand, and that makes the Todd Snyder Guide Shirt a unique addition to your fall and winter layering. The key is the soft-yet-dependable blend of virgin wool, acrylic, polyester and other fibers (for comfort and stretch) into one seriously cool, stylish fall shirt meant to be layered up as one of the best men’s shirt jackets. And folks, your new favorite fall shirt jacket only gets better from there.

Most rugged men's shirt jacket

The Todd Snyder Guide Shirt also boasts retro elbow patches for a neat and distinctive touch — this rugged men’s shirt jacket is less refined than one of the best fall blazers, to be sure, but no less ready for unique layering. That means you can style your new favorite shirt jacket atop a rugged men’s henley as readily as you can use it as another layer atop one of the best men’s Oxford shirts.

It’s cut with a more full fit for fall and winter layering, too. Plus, color options like a rich Blue-Brown Plaid or the fall-friendly Mustard Multi-Plaid certainly give you options. Beware that this Todd Snyder shirt clocks in at a pricey $268, but as with other Todd Snyder menswear essentials, I’m betting that higher price tag will pay off in spades.

See Now, Buy Now: The Todd Snyder Italian Knit Sportcoat Is the Best Fall Blazer to Shop Now

They say that when wearing any fine tailoring — or, for instance, one of the best men’s blazers — it’s crucial that the blazer or suit jacket doesn’t wear you. As in, your choice for one of the best blazers for men should look natural, stylish, comfortable and well-fitting. And as we move into a new season (fall, the best time for menswear on the market!), you should look to hit all the right notes with the Todd Snyder Italian Knit Sportcoat. It’s the perfect example of a blazer that doesn’t “wear you” — rather, it’s got a soft-shouldered, more easygoing design, exceptionally soft Italian cotton fabric and plenty of style points.

And when I say plenty of style points, I mean it: Todd Snyder is known for taking traditionally stuffy classics and making them more casual, easygoing and cool. The Todd Snyder Knit Sportcoat is a perfect example of this approach, without any of the padding or design details that can make a blazer uncomfortable to wear.

Best classic blazer for men.

Plus, the Dark Brown color fits right in with fall style essentials, which is exactly the sort of move you should be looking to make right now (and classic Navy isn’t a bad move, either). Heck, Todd Snyder already makes one of the best summer blazers, so consider this like a fall and winter-worthy alternative, too.

Like most Todd Snyder menswear picks, it’s pricier than average (quite a bit pricier at $698), but it’s absolutely worth it to invest in the Todd Snyder Italian Knit Sportcoat. It’s the kind of blazer you can wear with, say, a Todd Snyder T-shirt as easily as a classic Oxford shirt and the best men’s chinos, for instance. Make no mistake, it’s also a blazer you can wear with jeans, plus your favorite pair of leather boots. If you ask me, that’s a standout fall style look, and you won’t regret investing in one of the best blazers for men this season. Go to it, my friends.
