Prep for Fall With the Season’s Most Wanted Designer Logo Sweaters for Men
Logomania is back, baby! It really never left, as logomania merely morphs into something different every season. So, whatever clothing item is essential that season (t-shirts, messenger bags, bucket hats, etc.) that’s where you’ll find designer logos. Looking at Fall/Winter 2021-22, we’re staring (somewhat longingly) at designer logo sweaters, which are replacing the designer logo t-shirts of summer. Name a designer and you’ll find an intarsia, jacquard, or appliqued sweater with their name and logo front and center.
For Fall 2021, designers don’t have just one logo sweater; they have, in the case of Gucci, dozens of styles of knitted sweaters to haunt your designer fashion fever dreams. Depending on your style or favorite color, you’ll find a logo sweater that’s totally “you.”
Because we love men’s sweaters and count down the days to the start of sweater weather, we’ve been eyeing this trend closely. In the time it took to produce this piece, several of our favorite designer logo sweaters for men sold out.
An Informal History of Designer Logomania
Logo sweaters aren’t a new “fashion thing”. In fact, they’ve been around for a long, long time. Way back when, the first big logo clothing item to buy was anything Lacoste. That little alligator was instantly recognizable all over the world. Then Ralph Lauren came along, and everyone (it seemed) needed to own a polo or a sweater with that little polo player racing in place on the chest. Sometimes the fashion world’s just like high school; one person does it, so everyone does it too. You ended up with a proliferation of logo anything. Heck, in the 80s, even J.C Penney got into the act. By the mid-90s, fashion was more interested in grunge than glam, and logos only lived on handbags and accessories. Obviously, the fashion pendulum has swung back, and modern fashionistas and clotheshorses aren’t afraid of rocking a designer logo.
So whether you love classic European fashion houses such as Gucci and Burberry or prefer American upstarts like Off-White, there are tons of designer logo sweaters to choose from right now.
We did a deep dive into the world of designer logo sweaters for fall and came up with 20 options that are worth adding to your closet. The list is organized from most expensive to rather reasonable, so if you can’t find something in your price range right away, just keep scrolling!
