You want clothes that look good, fit well, and last. At GQ, we understand that. We’ve spent years immersed in the world of menswear, from the latest drops to the enduring classics, all to help you build a wardrobe you’ll love. This guide breaks down how we approach recommendations, focusing on quality, fit, and price – and showcases why certain pieces, like the innovative knits from Lady White Co.,stand out.
The Rise of Elevated Basics: Lady White Co. and the Modern Sweater
For years, Lady White Co. dominated the T-shirt game. But their evolution into knitwear is a testament to their commitment to quality and design. Their latest offering? A boxy sweater crafted from a unique 50/50 Japanese cotton-wool blend.
This isn’t your average sweater. It’s lined with a soft,waffle-knit cotton for added comfort and,crucially,cut and sewn right here in L.A.Unique snaps at the waist and cuffs allow you to customize the fit, adding a distinctive edge to a timeless piece.
Beyond the Sweater: understanding V-Neck Depth
Let’s talk V-necks. The depth and width of that “V” dramatically impact the overall look. fortunately, there aren’t strict rules – it’s about finding what works for your style.
Here’s a speedy guide:
* deeper V: Pairs exceptionally well with collared shirts, creating a layered, sophisticated look.
* shallower V: Easier to dress down with a simple T-shirt underneath, offering a more casual vibe.
* Current Trends: A slightly deeper V is currently more fashionable,leaning towards a relaxed aesthetic.
