Civil Society Black Knit Full Placket Sweater Shirt

I grabbed this Civil Society black knit sweater shirt and it instantly hit that smart-casual sweet spot. The Cuban collar and full button front give it a cleaner look than a basic sweater, and the vintage stripe across the front brings those cool 50s–60s retro vibes. The merino-blend knit feels soft and comfy, with enough warmth for cooler days without feeling bulky. Quality feels excellent, and I even got a couple compliments the first time I wore it. I’ve worn it unbuttoned over a tee and liked the look; it also pairs easy with chinos for date night. It’s one of those pieces that’s easy to style without thinking too hard. Fit-wise, it sits neat through the torso. For me it felt true overall, but heads up: it can run a touch small or slim on some folks—especially in the shoulders and arms—and the length can feel short if you have a longer torso. If you prefer a looser buttoned-up fit, wearing it open works well, too. I personally like the collar detail, though style preferences vary. If you want a clean, collared knit with a subtle stripe that’s easy to dress up or down, this one slides right into rotation.
