What’s that you say? It’s not knit season? Well it is in the Southern Hemisphere, and also in London, where Channing Tatum has been for the last few months filming Jupiter Ascending. Tatum, whose White House Down comes out this weekend (in which there are no sweaters to be found), is a sensible man, so naturally he has been making weather-appropriate fashion choices, by which we mean: sweaters. So many sweaters. Cardigans, swackets (that’s sweater-jackets, keep up), vests — the man can layer. So please join us for a historical review of new-dad and national treasure Channing Tatum’s excellent sweaters, because they are great.

A lightweight cardigan says, "I'm casual, but I also tried to look nice for you. Because I'm Channing Tatum, and that's what I do."

"If you find a sweater that works, buy it in several colors." —a quote from the upcoming Practical Shopping With Channing Tatum (Tumblr, 2013)

Question: What does Channing Tatum keep in his sweater pockets? Answer: gum, a Tamagotchi, the adoration of millions

Double-breasted sweaters: for all your Casual Friday needs.

Fair Isle zip-up sweaters: for all your DVD-handing-out needs.

Someone tell that man on the left about sweaters. He is not paying enough respect to the sweater.

That dog is like, "Why don't I get to wear a ridiculous pattern?"

"Everything I know about sweaters, I learned from Channing Tatum." —Shia LaBeouf

"Wait, Fifty Shades of Grey is about what?"

'Tis better to have worn a sweater vest with a tie, than to not have worn a sweater at all. —Tennyson

This is less about the sweater and more about, well, everything else. But sure, that's a sweater.

Shortly thereafter, Channing Tatum was pushed into a pool, and his black cashmere V-neck was never to be heard from again. [Moment of silence.]

How many gray cardigans do you own, Channing?

"I totally do not remember you, but I do remember that wonderful toggle sweater. It brings out your eyes." —Rachel McAdams in The Vow

Shout-out to the salesperson and/or stylist who did the fit consulting here.

Aw, well, this is just nice. A sweater of love. Good work.
