The navy half-zip sweater has its roots in mid-20th-century casual and sportswear, valued for its practicality, comfort, and clean aesthetic. Originally designed as a functional layering piece, it allowed for easy ventilation and movement while maintaining a polished appearance. Over time, the half-zip became a wardrobe staple, bridging the gap between casual knitwear and smart-casual attire. Its simple silhouette and versatility made it a favorite for layering over shirts or wearing alone, influencing modern interpretations like the Frizmworks Contrast Collar Half-Zip Knit.
