Howlin

Howlin sits in the space between heritage knitwear and off-duty shirting, with easy trousers to match. Expect soft wool sweaters, textured cotton shirts, and relaxed-fit pants cut for everyday wear. Colour, pattern, and handle stay central without losing a clean, wearable line.

Howlin

The Howlin collection at TheList focuses on wool sweaters, bowling shirts, and relaxed casual pants that carry texture and colour without feeling loud. Crewneck and collared knits come in soft wool with ribbed finishes, built for repeat wear across denim, wide-leg tailoring, or technical outerwear. Short-sleeved shirts lean into bowling collars, stripes, and checks, giving a laid-back frame that still works under a blazer or over a T-shirt.

Relaxed-fit cotton pants anchor the edit with easy, straight cuts and a casual waistband structure that suits sneakers or loafers. Each piece is selected to sit naturally alongside popular brands like Acne Studios, Marni, and Sunnei in a rotation that mixes print, knit structure, and solid neutrals. Use this edit to build weekend uniforms with character or to break up stricter tailoring with softer textures. Key categories include:

  • Wool crewneck and collared sweaters
  • Short-sleeved bowling and utility shirts
  • Relaxed-fit textured cotton pants
  • Light casual jackets and cardigans

FAQ

How does Howlin knitwear fit compared to other designers?
Howlin sweaters generally run true to label with an easy, relaxed shoulder and body. Crewnecks sit at a standard length, while some collared styles have a slightly boxier frame for layering over shirts or tees. Check the product notes on each piece for guidance if a style runs particularly loose or trim. If you sit between sizes, choose based on how much room you want at the hem and sleeve.
What is special about Howlin shirts and bowling collars?
Howlin shirts in this edit focus on short sleeves, bowling necklines, and utility details like chest pockets. The open collar shape reads casual but still works under lightweight jackets or cardigans. Patterns tend toward stripes and checks, giving you visual interest without clashing with tailored trousers. They pair easily with both denim and the brand’s relaxed cotton pants.
Are Howlin pieces suitable for a smart-casual office?
Yes, many Howlin styles sit comfortably in a smart-casual dress code. Wool crewneck sweaters and cleaner collared knits work with tailored trousers and leather shoes. Bowling shirts in subdued colours can sit under an unstructured blazer, while the textured pants balance well with minimalist sneakers. Choose quieter patterns and darker tones if your office leans more formal.
How should I care for Howlin wool sweaters and knitwear?
Always follow the care label on each Howlin piece, as wool compositions can vary. As a rule, avoid hot water and high-heat drying, which can cause shrinkage and distortion. Spot clean and air out between wears, and use a gentle wool detergent if hand-washing or machine washing on a delicate cycle is allowed. Lay knits flat to dry to help maintain their original shape and rib structure.
What can I style with Howlin pants from this collection?
Howlin’s relaxed-fit cotton pants work well with both knitwear and shirting. Try them with a wool crewneck and leather sneakers for everyday wear, or with a short-sleeved bowling shirt for warmer days. They also balance oversized outerwear from popular brands like Jil Sander or Maison Margiela thanks to their clean, straight lines. Choose a tonal palette if you want the texture to stand out more than the colour contrast.
