Farah grey sweater $115, Farah striped sweater $120.

The mercury is back in summer temperatures today, but sweater season is still right around the corner. There’s two reasons why the thin knit sweaters need a place in every man’s closet: early fall’s mild temperatures, and layering up  in the later fall/winter.

Here’s our first round of thin knits. They won’t break the bank, but they will give you a brighter fall and transition you through to next spring.

  
SAND v-neck sweater $250, SAND green sweater $228, PYA cardigan $185.

Thin knits are like sportcoats, they can go from the office, to the lounge, and out on weekends. Layer SAND’s merino wool sweaters over a dress shirt and tie (a big look for this season) and all you need is a sportcoat for post-work fun. On weekends, another big look for this season is taking a thin knit sweater and wearing is on its own, like in the above pictures.
