Crewneck sweater
Fine-knit sweater with a round neckline, usually made of merino. It is worn over a T-shirt or shirt, with the shirt collar inside or outside. In gray, navy or camel it goes with nearly every trouser in the catalog, from jeans to flannel. It should fit closely at the shoulders and cuffs without pulling.

From the Guide
- Navy on top is the safest choice: safe with light, gray, earth-toned and brown trousers. Navy with navy or with jeans only works with a clearly different fabric.
- A gray sweater on top is safe with brown and with jeans. With gray, navy and light trousers it quickly becomes tone on tone.
- Earth tones such as camel, light brown and sage need contrast: safe with gray and jeans, with beige, taupe or brown it becomes tone on tone.
