Men’s Norwegian style sweaters, a revamped classic

Norwegian style sweaters are a classic winter staple. Check out the best styles from the men’s Fall Winter 2020 2021collections.

Classic Norwegian style sweaters for men feature

distinctive geometric motifs with zigzag patterns and stylized snowflake prints, and a fine jacquard motif that, starting from the neck, extends to the shoulders and sometimes to the whole garment. The sweaters we spotted on the Fall Winter runways  are a fresh take on the classic  Norwegian jumper,  revamped with new, contemporary colors, yet keeping unchanged the charm of a garment that goes back five centuries.

This men’s jacquard sweater from Stefan Cooke is the closest to the original in our edit, but features cutouts on the front and along the shoulders, opening vents across the brown-toned natural wool garment.

The classic zigzag motif is revamped in this short sweater from Gucci’s new men’s collection that features an intentionally irregular and felted surface and “wrong” proportions.

The snowflake print, a classic Norwegian style motif, is the inspiration for the stylized pattern seen at Etro crafted from a combination of black and white wool and “projected” outwards, thanks to irregular wool fringes.

Prada revisits the men’s Norwegian style sweater opting for a sharp geometric pattern. The classic jacquard motif around the neck turns into a lo-fi kaleidoscope of vibrant hues.

Finally, this winter sweater from  Sacai’s men’s Fall Winter 2020 2021 collection is probably the most eccentric piece of our selection. The sweater is transformed into an original asymmetric cardigan, while the Norwegian pattern stretches out to form a large, capelet-style collar, embellished with long wool fringes.
