’Tis the season of bundling up in winter layers, which creates a short window of time when men — really hot men — appear in the wild in extra-cozy sweaters. Men in sweaters is not quite a phenomenon, but it’s such a happy occurrence that when a man walks a red carpet or strikes a pose in a chunky knit or cardigan, we can’t help but feel warm inside. To celebrate this special time of year, take a look at some of our favorite manly sweater moments, from Sting in a fisherman turtleneck to David Beckham in a reindeer-print cardi.
