With students starting school during one of the year’s most stylish (and breezier) seasons, sweaters and sweatshirts are for sure a must in most people’s rotation. They are the best layering pieces for fall and winter – they’re warm, baggy enough to add to, and easy to just put on and slip out the door. But there are a lot of sweaters and sweatshirts to choose from on StockX. To help, we asked our Head of Apparel, Candace C., for the best options on those colder walks on campus.

Sp5der Wait Web Hoodie Slate Grey

Young Thug’s Sp5der has been one of the top apparel brands on StockX. It might seem like another rapper’s merch to some, but these hoodies are some of the best quality construction we’ve seen in recent years. Our very own Candace agrees as well, with this Slate Grey colorway being her go-to. “Sp5der hoodies have been popular all year,” said Candace. “I love this slate grey style for Fall. The neutral colorway allows it to be styled for everyday use.”

Stüssy Loose Knit Logo Sweater Bone

Fashion is becoming more fluid with the lines getting blurred between clothing strictly being for men or women. One of the brands pushing new designs within this realm is Stüssy. Our Head of Apparel particularly loves Stüssy for “how their pieces can be styled for either men or women.” The Stüssy Loose Knit Logo sweater in Bone, although marketed as a women’s sweater, is a piece that can easily translate into men’s streetwear as well. 

Nike Life Cable Knit Sweater Rattan

A knitted sweater is the quintessential fall look. “I love anything cable-knit for fall, and this sweater is giving the perfect balance of quiet luxury meets 90s,” says Candace. The Nike Life Cable Knit sweater feels like something that would be birthed from a collaboration (just like their Supreme Swoosh sweater back in 2019). But this is a general release and can be all yours way below its $175 retail price. Some sizes sell for as low as $67 making that “quiet luxury meets 90s” aesthetic more obtainable.

Nike x Stüssy Knit Sweater Natural

Candace believes this to be “the perfect weekend crewneck to run errands or lounge in as the weather gets cooler.” It’s for those more attracted to bold graphics for the fall. Pair with your favorite pair of light-washed denim for a fall-ready look.

Nike x NOCTA Tech Fleece Crew Black

Drake’s tour has been all over our IG feeds where you can see him sporting some of his best NOCTA gear while rocking the stage. NOCTA is only getting nicer, with their latest collection blending hype and subtle designs all in one. The new Nike x NOCTA Tech Fleece Crew Black works as a “great closet staple,” as recommended by Candace. You can rock it with anything, but I would pair it with your favorite runners and some sport shorts for that 80s athletic look.
