Fall Dad Style: Grandpa Sweaters & Cardigans

By Ryan Foy

Fall is quickly approaching, and that means it is almost sweater season. I personally love wearing cardigans in the fall. (My wife lovingly refers to them as grandpa sweaters.) Here are some of my favorite sweaters available this season. Pick one up for your man so you can keep him warm and cozy as the leaves start to fall.

Fall Dad Style: Grandpa Sweaters & Cardigans

  • Guernsey Cotton Cardigan from J. Crew

    First up, we have a classic cardigan from J.Crew modeled after an old fisherman's sweater. In a bright indigo color and made from cotton, it is lighter than a wool sweater and great for a cool evening by the beach.

  • Merino Elbow Patch Cardigan from J.Crew

    Nothing beats an elbow patch on a sweater to make your man look like a college professor. This sweater is made of Merino wool and is incredibly soft.

  • Beach Fair Isle Cardigan from Gap

    A big pattern is a great way to make a statement with a sweater. This oversized pattern is reminiscent of the '70s, and if you took a picture of this guy with a Polaroid, he might just look like your grandpa in 1970.

  • Marled Stripe Shawl Cardigan from Gap

    I love a good stripe, and this sweater is right up my alley. While my wife is combatting the striped maternity clothes conundrum, men can never have enough stripes.

  • Varsity Stripe Small Lion Cardigan from Express

    I've always been a big fan of the college sweater, and Express makes a great varsity sweater with a subtle emblem on the chest. If you want to be super cool, you can even sew your old varsity letter onto the chest.

    Another shout out to fisherman, this sweater has great buttons and a simple color palette. Perfect for a chilly evening on an East Coast beach.
