\n\tPay close attention to the rising currents of the male wardrobe, and it\u2019s hard not to clock a perceptible shift in the fall collections. Designers are making the claim that the humble sweater, long relegated to serving as a convenient layer beneath tailoring and outerwear, can also be the main attraction. Miles removed from the polite anonymity of the plain navy crewneck, this new breed of knit doesn\u2019t underpin a look\u2014it makes it.<\/p>\n

\n\tTellingly, not one of these standout garments is plastered with logos, cheeky text, or some representational figure (festive or otherwise). Instead, they draw from the vast lexicon of traditional knit patterns and then twist and tweak the references to varying degrees until the proposition feels entirely fresh. At Louis Vuitton<\/a>, this takes the form of a deconstructed Nordic pattern that seems to dissolve down the torso. Canali<\/a> offers a bold windowpane check that reveals an almost marled depth, thanks to a special two-ply knitting technique. And Brunello Cucinelli<\/a> melds Fair Isle and Scandinavian devices to create a motif entirely unique to the house.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cKnitwear has always been a runway staple, especially for fall,\u201d says Jian DeLeon, men\u2019s fashion director at Nordstrom. \u201cBut with a renewed focus on Ivy style and elevated, elegant silhouettes, it\u2019s become an essential way to toe the line between dressier looks and more casual ones.\u201d He adds that a little creative styling can be key to getting the most out of these knits: \u201cIn this paradigm where guys want to look professional but not too dressed up, smart knitwear easily pinch-hits for a shirt and tie.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tSteeped in history, now made new by some of the brightest lights in menswear, each of the examples here has something to say, and it\u2019s substantial enough to carry an outfit\u2014no jacket required.<\/p>\n

\n\tA far cry from its prep-school cousins, Kiton\u2019s take on the traditional cable knit blows up the proportions with more loosely entwined cords, making a statement with negative space\u2014and a gutsy chartreuse color. Price upon request<\/a><\/p>\n

\tCanali<\/p>\n

\n\tIt doesn\u2019t get more luxe than Canali\u2019s wool and alpaca turtleneck, which combines a bold, sartorially inspired windowpane check and a double-face knitting technique that invites a closer look. $1,550<\/a><\/p>\n

\n\tInspired by the idea of an intergenerational wardrobe full of heirloom pieces, Zegna\u2019s cardigan has an exaggerated collar that holds its own against multiple layers of herringbone bands and stripes. $15,000<\/a><\/p>\n

\n\tAn exercise in restraint and timelessness, this crewneck riffs on a vintage sweater pulled from the Ralph Lauren archive. The alternating geometric bands are pure Fair Isle, and the quietly elegant grayscale tones make it feel just right for today. Price upon request<\/a><\/p>\n

\tLouis Vuitton<\/p>\n

\n\tPharrell\u2019s autumn outing features several eye-catching knits, including this volcanic take on a Nordic yoke sweater, which deviates from more-traditional styles with an irregular, almost pixilated gradient pattern. $4,150<\/a><\/p>\n

\tDries Van Noten<\/p>\n

\n\tAnother evolution of a Nordic yoke design, this Dries turtleneck keeps it graphic with a large-scale two-tone chevron pattern that highlights the motif in a slouchy, loose fit. $1,950<\/a><\/p>\n

\n\tShowcasing the most striking graphic of the bunch, this gray m\u00e9lange alpaca pullover\u2019s intersecting Vs evoke a supersize Alpine pattern and, not incidentally, lend a nice V shape to the torso, too. $2,395<\/a><\/p>\n

\n\tThis cashmere turtleneck is not quite Fair Isle: A closer look reveals both Nordic and Scottish references woven together. The result is a one-of-a-kind pattern, infused with Cucinelli\u2019s signature mix of understatement and richness. $4,500<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Published on September 5, 2026 By Jon Roth Jon Roth’s Most Recent Stories Courtesy of Brunello Cucinelli\/Louis Vuitton\/Kiton…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":74914,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[12704],"tags":[12995,21578,16362,45754,31978,2773,4955,2842,12866],"class_list":["post-74913","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-louis-vuitton","tag-armani","tag-brunello-cucinelli","tag-dries-van-noten","tag-kiton","tag-knitwear","tag-louis-vuitton","tag-lvmh","tag-magazine","tag-menswear"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/france\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/74913","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/france\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/france\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/france\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/france\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=74913"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/france\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/74913\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/france\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/74914"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/france\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=74913"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/france\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=74913"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/france\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=74913"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
