1. Thom Browne credits his father’s collection of grey and blue separates as inspiration for his use of subdued tones. Dyed a rich navy tone, this sweater is made from soft merino wool and decorated with the brand’s signature horizontal stripes down one side. The ribbed hem and crew neckline keep it looking neat.
