Don’t let the names fool you. They’re sometimes called half-zips, other times they’re quarter-zips. A few designer brands simply refer to them as “zippered pullovers”. But they all play for the same team. And that team is all about form, function and fashion. While the old school style might’ve faded into the background as hoodies reigned supreme for the past few years, they’re now back in a big way.
They’ve got the ease of a crewneck sweatshirt, the put-together vibes of a knit polo, and the cozy sophistication of a proper cardigan. And stylish guys have pulled them out of retirement and reclaimed them from the stodgy “business casual” types. How? By pairing them with wide-leg chinos, workwear pants, high-waisted wool trousers and even worn-in jeans.
