If you’re reading this, chances are you’re a fan of fisherman sweaters. After all, the rugged style is known for its blend of sartorial and functional excellence, and, as a reader of InsideHook, we can only imagine you’re inclined to chase the finer things in life. We would hope, in turn, that feeling extends to the loved ones in your life, which is why we’re recommending that you forego the chocolates and flowers — or better yet, just add to them — and grab your Valentine a trusty cable knit sweater instead.

Yes, you just bought her a gift a month ago, and yes, you have to buy her another right now. We got you, though.Here us out. Sure, a sweater designed for brutal seafaring doesn’t initially read as romantic as, say, jewelry.
