A Highly Specific Guide to Sweater Shopping

What to wear to write the Great American Novel (and more).

Ah, fall. The season of football. Falling leaves. Friendly ghosts. Something that rhymes with shmelection…

Also: a time for sweaters. And because we care about your comfort, we’ve made it easier than ever to find the perfect option for every occasion, with the help of a virtual sweater-shopping experience known, aptly, as The Sweater Shop.

But in the event you’re looking for some more, err, specific advice, we’ve taken it upon ourselves to provide a handful of sage, sweater-related questions and answers.

Do you tend to overheat once you get inside?

So do we. Actually, so does everyone. That’s why our Tech Merino and Tech Cashmere sweaters are both naturally thermoregulating—Tech Cashmere even features a cooling cotton interior.

Are you going to a cabin in the woods somewhere? Perhaps to finish writing the Great American Novel?

Our NEW WARMKNIT Wool Shawl Cardigan is perfect for that kind of thing—it’s casual, light, and pairs well with a tumbler of whiskey.

Are you meeting the in-laws? Asking for a promotion? Performing an ill-fated rendition of “White Christmas” at the company holiday party, even though you promised yourself you wouldn’t after what happened last year?

Go with our NEW Tech Merino Long Sleeve Polo—a sleek, smooth style that you can dress down with jeans or dress up with a blazer.

Are you hosting an event at your own home? That is, will you be changing into sweatpants the minute everyone leaves?

In this case, you’ll want a sweater that’s as comfortable as your favorite sweatshirt. Enter: The NEW ACE Half-Zip. It’s crafted with the same ridiculously soft French terry as our bestselling ACE sweats.

Do you want to wear your sweater with a t-shirt in the hopes that you’ll eventually be able to take said sweater off at the function and just wear said t-shirt?

We get it—totally reasonable series of things to want. Your best bet: The undeniably sharp (if casual) Tech Merino Full-Zip, which is ideal for classing up your favorite tee.

Tell the truth: Are you more of a v-neck guy?

No shame in that. We’ve got two handsome options for you: The Tech Merino V-Neck and Tech Cashmere V-Neck.

Do you tend to avoid the dry cleaner at all costs?

Good news. All of our sweaters—with the exception of the cardigan—are machine washable. (Yes, even the cashmere.)
