Loungewear has officially entered the game of fashion. Silk pajamas flock galas. Matching sweatsuits sit front row at Milan Fashion Week. And now, the once-modest crewneck sweatshirt now has a fixed position in the big leagues, coming a long way from where it began.

Sweatshirts were developed in the early 1930s, reputedly by Benjamin Russell Jr., a football player who replaced his itchy, insulating wool pullover that featured a rounded neckline, with one made of thick cotton. The style was then adopted by Champion, which popularized it among the scholastic set. By the ’90s, the sweatshirt became a streetwear staple. Now, it is walking down the runways of leading designers and red carpets far and wide.

Today, Jerry Lorenzo, John Elliot and Virgil Abloh deserve a lot of credit for bringing the style to modern fruition. All have consistently elevated the reputation of not just crewneck sweatshirts, but also, hoodies, joggers, and all forms of loungewear. And because other designers followed suit, wearing these styles, say, to the office, a night on the town, or a swanky shindig like fashion's biggest night is officially appropriate. And if you, too, want to heed the example of some of the most stylish gents around, make sure to check out the 24 best crewneck sweatshirts and cop the ones that strike your fancy.
