As temperatures start to drop, sweaters inevitably become the foundation of our wardrobes. Crewnecks offer the versatility of looking comfortable and cool without even trying. Whether it’s a heavyweight sweatshirt or patterned jacquard fine knit, there’s a crewneck sweater out there for you.

The crewneck is a classic sweatshirt that was originally an all-cotton jersey but has made its way into men’s wardrobes and has become a staple. The crewneck is simply called a sweatshirt and has a round neck with no collar. Here’s our roundup of the most eye-catching crew necks for every occasion.

Oxfords

We don't know if this was the first dress shoe. It probably wasn't. Guys dressed up before Oxford students in the 1800s, right? Anyway, this is the most famous dress shoe, and for good reason. Originating on the campus of the namesake university, the Oxford is known by its closed lace system, meeting at the end of the laces in a 'V' shape. This keeps everything nice and tight, looking very put together.
