The best men’s spring sweaters prove the colder months don't have a monopoly on stylish knitwear. Sure, fall and winter offer ample opportunity to layer up in cashmere crewnecks and hefty lambswool, but the lightweight sweaters we’re talking about here play a different role entirely—as the centerpiece of your whole outfit.

In a dedicated bimonthly send, Louis Cheslaw surfaces choice products worth your consideration, explores larger conversations shoppers are—or should be—having, and taps a smart dresser to share how he wears it. There’s a lot of raw denim in the air (and in my New York roundup below). My theory? Jeans have been the only pants that most of us wore for the past year, but right now, every guy I know wants to wear a few more shirts and generally feel a bit more tailored.

I don’t think the takeaway from the episode is that VC is the enemy, but I do think it’s sick that at 53-years-old, he owns as much of the company as he does.
