The Crewneck Sweatshirt Spectrum

When it comes to off-duty style, a crewneck sweatshirt is something that every guy can pull off with ease. We're not talking about the one you wore to tatters in college though. Opt for one with a trim fit and vintage details like side panels and ribbing to help it keep its shape through multiple wears. Throw on an equally casual oxford button-down shirt underneath to instantly add a smarter look, or opt for a more comfortable T-shirt for a day of casually tossing around the pigskin with the guys. It's a versatile staple that we'd advise picking up in more than one color. Having one grey and one navy sweatshirt will last you all season, and beyond. Whether you're looking for something with genuine workwear details or are thinking about investing in a real piece of casual luxury, here's a few you can get right now.
