With autumn and winter seasons fast approaching sweaters come into play. We selected 10 of our favorite men's sweaters, the list is not ranked in any particular order. Pieces from the likes of Givenchy and Burberry are in our selection, but we also explored collections of some less known but nevertheless promising designers.
What makes a sweater have such an important role is this actual part of the year. When chosen wisely it can take a role of an important part of a menswear outerwear attire. See our favorites below:

Trend setting Burbery has presented the hearts pattern for the first time back in January.
