Double Tap to Zoom

The history of knitwear stretches back a mind-blowing amount of years, with traditional knit techniques being traced back to the 11th century, hundreds of years before the word streetwear was probably ever uttered. And still, knitwear continues to be a mainstay in menswear. It's a versatile type of clothing that works well with many looks, whether you're more fond of formal or like to keep it casual.

Our favorite knitwear pieces on the market right now are far from traditional, sourced from a range of high-end retailers such as SSENSE, Mr Porter, or LN-CC, by the likes of recent LVMH-prize winner HODAKOVA, new classics à la Auralee, and our ride-or-dies at Stone Island.

Scroll on for the best knitwear pieces to shop right now.
