There are some fall styles that we love. And then there are some fall styles that we actually start begging the nice weather to go away simply so we can begin wearing them. Cardigans may just be one of those styles. Sure, there are many sweaters in your wardrobe that you should have, and most of them are even competitive with the classic aesthetic of the cardigan.

Just ask Mr. Rogers. Nobody did men's cardigans better.

Now, if you have been reading here at The Manual for any amount of time, you know that not any cardigan will do; there are some that stand above the rest.
