This time of year, it is not uncommon for us to wear a sweater nearly every day of the week. We have already talked about the Cotton Crewneck Sweater by Polo Ralph Lauren, and while a couple of those are still in rotation as layering pieces, the colder the weather gets, the more we tend to shift towards wool and cashmere.  If you are looking for something a little different than your typical wool sweater, we recommend the Wool Elbow-Patch Sweater ($99.99 – $165) by Polo Ralph Lauren.

Cut just like a classic Polo V-neck, this sweater changes it up a bit with suede elbow patches that fit in just as well here as they do on a vintage sport coat.  Though it isn’t 100% wool (it is a blend of wool, acrylic, and alpaca), the Wool Elbow-Patch Sweater is a great bet for the days that lightweight just isn’t an option.  Polo has kept the color pallet simple for this sweater, offering it in four classic colors (Olive, Navy, Oatmeal, and Grey), so no matter which you choose, there are tons of ways to wear it.
