Shawl Collar Sweats

It's a new twist on a timeless style. An old school sweatshirt with a dapper shawl collar sweater. One part preppy Ivy League and one part 1950s Americana, it's an ideal piece to wear by itself or layer under jackets when coat weather sets in. A secret weapon of sorts, the shawl neck sweatshirt has the ability to add a sharp contrast to whatever you're wearing. Want to dress up a T-shirt and jeans on the weekend? Or add a rugged air of casualness to a blazer or shirt and tie? Throw on one of these guys, available in a range of materials and styles—from J.Crew's military-inspired version in sueded cotton to Billy Reid's single-button collar lined in alpaca-wool.
