From the varsity trend to tailored staples, these styles will see you through autumn and beyond.
Autumn is all about those cold-weather layers every man should own – crisp, cool and comfortable, all in a muted palette with eye-catching details. And by tapping into a select few trends, you can ensure your ‘fit is always on the front foot. Start the season right with the most highly anticipated new styles from your go-to brands.
Varsity makes a touchdown
Regular Fit Jean, R.M. WILLIAMS Comfort Craftsman Boot
Bomber jackets, rugby jerseys, striped and plaid styles are a super wearable way to borrow from the varsity trend. Tommy Hilfiger, Country Road and R.M. Williams are serving up bona fide sporting throwbacks accordingly.
Rain, hail or shine style
This season, you’ll need a go-to jacket that pulls any outfit together with ease. Quick-dry, weatherproof layers from the likes of Superdry and The Academy Brand will be hero pieces in your autumn wardrobe (for obvious, all-weather reasons). Technical fabrics also add an extra layer of style to an otherwise casual look.
The statement sweater
A smart, statement sweater from brands including Polo Ralph Lauren, Ben Sherman and Paul Smith will work overtime in your cool-weather wardrobe. For a look that softens the edges of an otherwise formal outfit, combine your knit with the latest raw and heritage denim. Instant street appeal.
Utility detailing
Meanwhile, a bevy of street-ready brands such as Jag, Ben Sherman and The Academy Brand are making a case for utility detailing, putting their spin on the multiple-pocket trend – a cool, practical addition to your autumn outerwear.
