Half and quarter zip pullovers are a menswear classic, the kind of thing you can always count on to get your through a chilly office or a cold-weather run. In their traditional form, they’re a functional layering piece that works just like a cardigan, but a bit more comfortable, and in a fleece or knit fabric that feels warmer and less constricting.
But the past few years have seen a slight change to the way we view this garment type. While we still see it as a utilitarian style for keeping us warm, the trends have shifted. The emergence of minimalist menswear, for example, has seen a shift in the way we think about layering, and the half-zip jacket fits nicely into that equation as a top that can be worn over any shirt.
At the same time, streetwear fits have broken down that structure a little, offering up cropped quarter-zips, or ones that are oversized and baggy and resemble a lightweight anorak you might wear over a trucker jacket. And with the popularity of activewear, we’re seeing some pullovers crafted in fine-knit fabrics that sit closer to the skin, and look more like a polo shirt than a traditional sweater.
