Off-duty means different things to different people. But, for those more discerning men, the ambassador of all things off-duty is, of course, the grey sweatshirt.
The term “wardrobe essential” is one you’ll see in abundance if you frequent the GQ style pages, but along with the plain white tee, a grey sweatshirt is truly deserving of the title. Treading that fine line between cosy enough to lounge around the house in while wearable to brunch (layered over a T-shirt) or date night (over a pale-blue Oxford shirt), it's an unapologetically basic piece with major styling versatility.
Don’t believe us? Just look to men’s style icons through the ages. From Steve McQueen’s turn in The Great Escape to Eddie Murphy’s in Beverly Hills Cop, to more contemporary dressers such as the two best-dressed Ryans in Hollywood (Gosling and Reynolds), the grey sweatshirt has more than proved its worth.
