Items to Fall For - Mens Fashion


By David Bowden | September 15, 2009



 MORE fall must-haves 

Masculinity Meets Warmth
This fall, designer Joseph Abboud of Black Brown 1826 turns his classically inspired sensibility toward warm, masculine layers, perfectly embodied in this classic peacoat. Peacoat, $300, thebay.com

Hike ‘em Up
No longer do the snow, slush, and salt provide reason to opt for form over function. Combine the two with a stylish pair of city hikers from Aldo and wear them while you’re pushing paper in the office or shovelling snow in the driveway. Hallam Boots, $110, aldoshoes.com

Plaid to the Bone
The perfect complement to a male wardrobe too frequently dominated by monochromes and greys, plaids are making a splash again this fall. You can find them at Banana Republic, or in your Dad’s closet. For a look that’s more city slicker than lumberjack, try a slimmer fit. Slim Fit Shirt, $85, bananarepublic.gap.com

Bomb’s Away
We’re going to burst your bubble: despite your aviators and your insistence in calling your tall, mustachioed friend “Goose,” you’re no Maverick. So ditch that bulky, brown, fur-lined bomber jacket (and the Kenny Loggins soundtrack) in favour of a sleeker, more urbane look, like this one from Perry Ellis. Zip and snap front jacket, $195, perryellis.com

The Wild One
The leather jacket is a classic, timeless staple – and a requisite for any self-respecting man’s closet. This one from Roots uses lightweight glover leather and a snap-tab collar to invoke McQueen-esque motorcycle cool. Italian Job Leather Jacket, $399, roots.com

Going Brogue
Known as brogues on the other side of the pond, wing tips have long since evolved from their humble origins as the traditional country shoes worn by Irish and Scottish workers. This pair from Aldo (available in brown and cognac) lets you take a stand without breaking the bank. Darel Wingtip Oxford, $90, aldoshoes.com
