Our Garment Fits
When done well, knitwear ties a look together and can even serve as a statement in its own right; the perfect piece can transform any outfit, adding a layer of texture, colour and style. As masters of the knitwear craft, we’ve spent decades refining our silhouettes to ensure each style plays a unique part in our knitwear world and your wardrobe; all you must do is simply select your favourites, follow this fit guide and lean into the pleasure of perfectly constructed knitwear. In our humble opinion, there are few things better.
John Smedley knitwear for men comes in three fits: Standard, Modern and Easy.
Standard Fit (John Smedley Fit)
The standard fit is a John Smedley classic, designed and tailored to flatter the wearer, this style can be worn as a standalone garment or layered for a streamlined ensemble that can be styled up, or pared down.
How to style?
Like any true classic, our standard fit knitwear is designed for every occasion that exists on the smart to casual scale. The longline silhouette offers a streamlining effect that pairs well with everything from tailored suiting to relaxed denim. For smarter ensembles select darker colours with simpler details like Shipton, and save the knitwear with hardware, such as Tapton, for more casual looks.
Modern Fit
Designed for a contemporary finish and slim silhouette, our modern fit has the same chest measurements as our standard fit, with a shorter body and sleeve length graded across sizes. The modern fit also features a wider shoulder than our other styles giving it a subtle boxy feel.
How to style?
Our modern fit knitwear is for those who prefer a contemporary, boxy silhouette. This style can be worn casually but is fitted enough to wear under tailoring for smarter occasions too. Pare down with denim or chinos and a cotton t-shirt, or style up with tailored trousers and suiting. Halin is a modern classic that will form the foundation of your wardrobe — from here, everything else will fall into place.
Easy Fit (Heritage Fit)
Engineered to be longer in the body with a looser fit around the chest, waist and sleeves, our easy fit knitwear allows for more volume and movement — easy by name, easy by nature. This style is longer, looser and more relaxed.
How to style?
Our easy fit cuts a more relaxed silhouette than our standard fit garments, making it a wise investment for every day-to-day wardrobe. Knitwear of this kind is a simple way to add informality to an outfit, classics such as Finchley were designed to layer up in colder weather and wear as a standalone piece in transitional seasons. If it's loungewear you’re looking for, look no further, styles like Sundown deliver comfort from morning, noon til night.
