Skate Knit

Skate Knit

A men's edit of skate-style knitwear: striped and chunky sweaters, knit polos and cardigans to layer over a tee. Built for loose pants and beat-up sneakers.

Skate knitwear is about sweaters that look like you have worn them for years. I like them a little boxy and a little stretched out, thrown over a plain tee with loose pants and worn-in sneakers.

 

Stripes are the fastest way in, and the Universal Works Langdale cardigan has a chunky stripe that carries a whole outfit. Polo Ralph Lauren makes the shawl cardigan I'd grab when it gets cold, and the RLX Ralph Lauren crest polo sweater is the one for a rugby stripe feel. For quieter days, a navy Naadam cashmere crew or the Sunspel wool sweater sits under a coach jacket without any fuss.

 

If you want some texture, try NN07's fluffy knit or the Maison Kitsuné fox head sweater, and let the sleeves bunch up at the wrist.
