Phil Petter $450, Marshall Artist $150, Ted Baker $350.

1. The Macho Sweater – Sure, sweaters can be soft and cuddly (see luxury sweaters) but the new breed of sweaters are rugged and uber-masculine with leather details, chunkier knits that say “I’m man enough that I don’t need a jacket”, and shawl collar styling. Wear them layered over a plaid or check shirt for a sexy lumberjack look.

Farah $150, Suit $235, Drykorn $365.

2. The Holiday Sweater – Get in the Holiday spirit with a patterned sweater, we’re not talking ugly christmas sweater but vintage inspired patterns and designs (GQ just did a spread on them in this month’s issue). Perfect for casual Christmas parties, weekday bar nights and hanging out by the fireplace watching the snow fall.

PYA $198, Psycho Bunny $195.

3. The Fine Gauge Knit Sweater – sophisticated, clean and very modern. The fine guage sweater will help breath new life into your closet full of shirts, wear them layered under a jacket to give you a pop of color or on it’s own. The new trim fits men you’ll never look boxy, no matter what your size.

Toscano $275, Oats $295.

4. The Luxury Sweater – Nothing says “love” more than cashmere; either the love you give yourself or the love from someone else. It’s like wrapping yourself in a warm hug all day long. But just because it’s luxury doesn’t mean it’s high-brow, wear your cashmere where you would have worn your sweatshirt on the weekends.
