The sweatshirt is a wardrobe staple every man should own. Our catwalk favourites for AW11 were the college style designs at Raf Simons and the mirror image Coca Cola prints at D&G.

If that sounds too much like hard work, take at look at our ten favourite buys

It's best not to mess around too much with a classic, this pocket detail is about as fancy as a sweatshirt should get (bar a varsity print of course)
