Todd Snyder x Champion, $148
Every guy needs a curveball piece in his wardrobe. Something slightly unexpected that makes an impact, however subtle, any time he wears it. And right now, a great candidate for that curveball is the graphic sweatshirt. Whether a crewneck or a hoodie, these sweatshirts give a simple pair of jeans or chinos a shot of bold pop art. They look great layered under a jacket while the weather's cold and come spring, they're perfect for sporting on their own. What's more, the menswear landscape seems chock full of them these days. They're the antidote to the classic (read: safe) grey sweatshirt and are sure to highlight your personality. Just find the right one for you and your budget.
