MEN LIKE AUTUMN TOO
We all know that autumn holds a special place in every girl’s heart. No matter who you are, the wiring in our heads creates some sort of shift on the first cold day in September. But what you don’t hear about is how much men secretly get a little giddy in the newly crisp air as well. So this year, we are going to focus on the men in our lives who deserve to drink all the pumpkin spice lattes and just want to wear a comfy little sweater with the rest of us. See all our recommendations for men’s fall ready-to-wear below!
The Black Coffee W/ Pumpkin Syrup
Trends: Brown, Baggy Pants, Worn Leather, Belts
If you are going to sit there and try to tell us you don’t enjoy a little pumpkin flavor, then we will assume you are one big liar. While we can admit that the pumpkin-flavored items can start to get a little played out towards the end of autumn, we have to remember it’s a seasonal flavor for a reason. See our physical interpretation of the pumpkin coffee with the outfit combination depicted here!
The Fantasy Fiend
Trends: Sportswear, Denim
One thing we know for sure that men like about this season is the return of fall sports. With the rise in frat boy attire, we might as well give a somewhat stylish alternative to the traditional oversized jersey and sweatpants look. Whether tailgating at a football game this fall or just running to grab takeout from the nearest Buffalo Wild Wings before the game starts, we have the perfect outfit for you!
The HANDS IN THE HOLES OF a SWEATER
Trends: Office Wear, Chunky Sweaters, Wide Leg Trousers, Duffle Bags
Nothing fully encapsulates the feeling of fall like The Neighbourhood’s “Sweater Weather.” While the idea of wearing a sweater rather than a sweatshirt may be groundbreaking to some, we are here to show you how easily it can be done. Trust us, you will thank us when you feel like you’re in front of the fireplace drinking hot cocoa and watching cartoons when in reality you’re drinking shitty work coffee and staring at Excel on your computer screen at the communal work table.
The Knitting club
Trends: Cardigans, Cargo Pants
Who would have thought that the chunky, multi-colored cardigan that your grandmother knitted for you for Christmas a few years ago would become the epitome of style? Suddenly it’s not only cool to knit (think Tom Daley at the Olympics), but to wear those creations and somehow look really cool while doing so. See how we are styling the cardigan to be worn on a chilly fall day as you stand outside pretending to be a divorcé thinking deeply while looking into the distance, or (more likely) go on a coffee run or stop at your nearest deli for a pastrami on rye.
UNIQLO
Abercrombie & Fitch
The Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown
Trends: Gorpcore, Utility Wear, Vests
If you don’t know the reference, “It’s The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown,” I would seriously reevaluate your TV/movie watch list this season. Charlie Brown and Linus are the goals, and no one can convince us otherwise. Nothing says autumn more than a puffy vest, a lot of layering, and waiting up all night for a giant pumpkin to give you loads of candy.
The hometown hero
Trends: Denim, Neck Ties, Workwear
It’s the Wednesday before Thanksgiving. You walk into a bar and see your high school girlfriend who is in town for the week. You are wearing an outfit that says, “Hey, look who got a ‘big boy job’ working at an office doing very important things with numbers,” but it also says, “I never forgot my Midwestern roots and am just as cool as I was in high school.” No, but seriously, this outfit is sick and anyone will be impressed, even if they’re too proud to say so.
