Hood by Air’s “Eat the Children” sweatshirt might have a name capable of giving me nightmares, but the design (and price) is stuff of style dreams. Available at Revolve, this casual sweatshirt features a pretty traditional silhouette until you pan up to the neck– that’s where things get interesting. Multiple snap button decorations adorn a high, rumpled neckline that looks cozy but tough. Brooklyn-based designers Shayne Oliver and Raul Lopez claim their designs come from what’s around them now and before. I’d like to know how this bad boy was dreamed up. . . Currently out of stock.

No square ‘n’ baggy t-shirts here. Diesel selections are usually available in a wide range of fitted shapes, and this one is no exception. Scoop up this shapely (but manly) v-neck in a modern look that doesn’t disappoint with jeans. 100% cotton jersey with bold print detailing makes this a smart buy: wear it now with a hoodie or cardigan sweater, and then strip off the other layers to let it stand for itself. Available in sizes S through XXL, so it’s good for the thicker-framed guy as well. [$130 at diesel]

80s purple gives us a great shirt that’ll fit right in the giveaway range, and it’s a pretty winter-worthy piece. Wear it under lighter-weight jackets so you can pull the hood up for outdoors meandering. Small chest patch pockets will only accommodate something little, which means you might also have to employ a messenger or other bag. Small price to pay. Sizes s-xl. [$70 at 80s purple]

A black hoodie with unusual shape is an essential buy, so if you haven’t gotten one yet, now’s your chance. A long sleeve zip closure is accented with foldover plackets (and secured with buttons to keep everything in place). Tone-on-tone stitching (black) vaults this piece into the Serious Style category. 80/30 cotton-poly, sizes s-m-l. [$253 at ssense]

100% cashmere is a must-buy, but after a while, it gets pretty tiring looking at all the boring (solid) colors of the rainbow. This Wesc sweater combines the superior warmth of cashmere with an urban flair: graphic designs rip down both sleeves and are juxtaposed against a solid body. It’s fun looking at it, and it’s even better wearing it. Available in sizes s, l. [$286 at revolve]
