Sweater weather calls for a protective layer that looks and feels great in any setting. This crewneck sweater by Patagonia is soft as hell and easy to throw on before your fourth Zoom meeting of the day. Best of all, it’s made from 70 percent recycled wool.

Sure, your old flannel holds up fine, but this shirt-jacket collab by outdoorsy icon L.L.Bean and American designer Todd Snyder is built to last a lifetime. Made from a wool-and-nylon blend, it’s ultra durable, insulating, and the ultimate layer for times when you’re chilling by the fire in the backyard—or escaping the chill inside.

The benefit of this lightweight and water-resistant Ben Sherman vest, made from a nylon-cotton blend, is that it’s all-purpose and all-weather. Cold out? Throw on a Henley and jeans, like our guy here. Raining? Grab a pair of waterproof boots and a reliable raincoat. Still warm outside? Lucky you. Rock a polo and some 5.5-inch-inseam shorts and call it a day.

Yes, camo’s about blending in, but this fleece jacket by Timberland is all about helping you stand out and can upgrade any basic tee and khakis. Even better, it’s lined with mesh, which allows for better ventilation, and is made entirely from recycled fleece.
