The Friday Find: Embrace Laidback Weekend Style with these Myles Apparel Joggers

It’s assuredly plenty of fun to scour the menswear market far and wide for unexpected, unheralded and unknown finds — that’s the name in the headline of today’s blog post, after all. But every so often, you simply need gear that gets the job done in matters of stylish comfort and performance, and a reminder about brands that can deliver the goods.

Enter Myles Apparel, which — while not at the level of a sportswear giant like Nike — has been a consistent favorite of this style writer over the years for its blend of comfort, performance, and clean, laidback good looks in the form of both outdoor adventures and weekend lounging.

And yes, since it’s Friday, I’d wager you’ve got your eye on a bit of both, right? How best to greet the day and all that it brings? With comfortable stretch joggers like the Myles Apparel Tour Joggers.

There’s certainly a time and a place for beefed-up joggers in, say, thick jersey cotton for an old-school look and feel, but these slim joggers for men take a more tech-forward approach — there’s certainly room for both in your off-duty rotation of the best men’s outdoor gear, at least in my experience.

Made from polished stretch fabric with details like a clean zipper fly and an elastic drawcord waistband, Myles Apparel notes these jogger pants are “made to move,” from coastline runs to weekend coffee outings and days on the road. With some colors available in extended sizing, it’s all about finding the right shade for your own easygoing outfits, right?

Variety is the spice of life, and the spice of the best athleisure and the best sweatpants for men, and if they have your own (fast-selling!) size in stock, then the Myles Apparel Tour Joggers might be the perfect fit for weekend lounging aplenty and more this season.

See Now, Buy Now: Add this Buck Mason Graduate Jacket to Your Seasonal Tailoring Wardrobe

Best blazers for men to buy now.

With the height of the holiday season appearing on the horizon ever so slightly, a man’s tailoring rotation deserves some consideration, does it not? Hearty wool blazers can co-exist handsomely with jackets cut from a multi-season cloth, in this case quite literally as Buck Mason dives once more into the world of fine tailoring.

Find out more and shop new gear at Buck Mason

Fine yet accessible tailoring cut from high-quality fabric, that is — the kind that offer comfort and polish in more temperate climates, not to mention the kind of jacket you can pair with a heartier, thicker flannel dress shirt without overdoing it.

Of course, the classics are on the table with this wool-linen-blend blazer as well, from a chambray shirt to an Oxford shirt. Classically fashioned lapels also give this stylish men’s blazer a timeless look and feel — as with most menswear from Buck Mason, at least in my experience.

Think of the Buck Mason Graduate Jacket as a sort of “Goldilocks” jacket, one that hits it right down the middle of the fairway — versatile, crisp, classic and perhaps just what the doctor ordered this season.

1960s American tailoring serves as the backbone of inspiration for this handsome jacket, with a distinctive 3-roll-2 cut (three buttons feature on this jacket, with the lapels rolled in rakish fashion to look like a two-button jacket).

Patch flap hip pockets give this crisply cut jacket a slightly more laidback, Ivy Style-inspired look and feel, while its navy colorway pairs up more than nicely with just about any other seasonal shades in your wardrobe — from rust-hued chinos to burgundy corduroys and classic khaki trousers.

Buck Mason perhaps said it best when noting that this jacket is fashioned from a “crisp wool–linen blend that holds its shape while remaining soft and breathable,” all the better to carry you comfortably from an office happy hour to a night on the town, my friends. The Buck Mason Graduate Jacket helpfully features a half-lined back for structure without proving too restrictve, while horn buttons deliver a suitably refined finish.

And should you favor a full suited-and-booted look, the Buck Mason Graduate Jacket comes with a matching pair of pants in similarly tasteful, easygoing yet polished fashion.

With a classic fit and tab-button waist — plus the same fabrication as the matching Buck Mason men’s blazer — it’s a match made in sartorial heaven. It pays off in matters of style to be prepared, and Buck Mason has done just that with this holiday-ready, multi-season-approved jacket.

The Tuesday Steal: It’s the Last Day to Shop the Best Menswear from the Billy Reid Warehouse Sale

Billy Reid Warehouse Sale 2026.

There are only so many chances a stylish modern man (like yourself!) gets to truly revamp his wardrobe in the midst of the busy holiday season — now would certainly seem to be one of those chances, my friends, as we gear up for Thanksgiving and a flurry of seasonal soirees that demand the very best of yourself in matters of style.

And whether your tastes lean more rugged or more elegant, and whether your calendar is packed already or just starting to fill up, I’d bet that there’s not an occasion where a prized menswear selection from acclaimed American menswear designer Billy Reid would look out of place.

Shop the season’s best menswear at Billy Reid

The designer’s wares run the gamut from denim shirts to knit sportcoats, the peacoat worn by James Bond and a slew of other modern menswear classics — an impressive assortment complemented by signature details like the company’s herringbone stripe patch detailing on many pieces.

Billy Reid menswear is certainly investment-worthy, but there’s a prime opportunity right now to shop and save an extra 25 percent on already discounted selections from the acclaimed Alabama designer. There is, however, a catch: It’s the last day of the Billy Reid Warehouse Sale, so as we often say on this men’s style blog, striking while the iron is hot is indeed paramount in this situation.

From easy-to-layer waffle crew shirts to classic knit sportcoats, an array of both Western-inspired and Oxford style buttondown shirts and even select accessories like a durable Billy Reid tote bag, it seems that if it’s on your list or something you’d want in your wardrobe, well, Billy Reid has it in the company’s warehouse.

Bear in mind, the code EXTRA25 gets you 25 percent off, but only if entered at checkout (a word to the wise, my friends). From there, it’s merely up to you to pick your poison and find your new favorite seasonal wardrobe upgrade within the confines of the Billy Reid Warehouse Sale ASAP.

See Now, Buy Now: Add This Merino Wool Cardigan from The Tie Bar to Your Next #OOTD

Best shawl cardigans for men.

When you start to feel a subtle chill in the air — or a not-so-subtle chill — it’s time you fight back, or rather, layer up accordingly. Fall and winter pass muster when it comes to the best seasons for menswear, at least in my humble opinion, with the ability to experiment with rugged texture, layering and the sort of modern takes on heritage styles that would make menswear icons of days gone by quite proud to wear.

One of the best cardigans for men makes plenty of sense in that regard, and when it comes to today’s style highlight, you needn’t spend an arm and a leg to get it.

That’s because it hails from The Tie Bar, the affordable Chicago purveyor of some of the coolest ties, most versatile and eye-catching ties on the market — a brand that now includes a full lineup of head-to-toe menswear, from dress shirting to sweaters, polos and the Tie Bar Merino Heritage Shawl Cardigan on display here.

Learn more and shop now at The Tie Bar

About that mixture of modern updates to classic styles: The Tie Bar delivers in every sense, using merino wool to step up the performance-minded nature of this handsome piece.

Performance might not be the first thing you look for in a shawl collar cardigan, but the burly style gains an added edge thanks to the use of temperature-regulating fabrication that should make this an easy layering choice over a chambray shirt, an Oxford shirt or perhaps even a lightweight flannel shirt on especially brisk days.

It’s just an added bonus that the Graphite color of the rugged-yet-refined Tie Bar Merino Heritage Shawl Cardigan wears well with just about any #menswear combination you can dream up, from burgundy corduroys and that aforementioned Oxford shirt to olive chinos and a thermal henley.

I’d even go so far as to say you can layer your new favorite cardigan beneath a Barbour waxed field jacket for outdoor pursuits aplenty in the weeks and months ahead.

And with its vertical ribbing and sturdy shawl collar, this piece should prove a more than suitable layer for elegant holiday affairs, no matter how you style it — and of course, since it’s The Tie Bar we’re talking about here, this stylish men’s cardigan retails for a fairly agreeable $128. That’s a blend of style and savings I can get behind, indeed, my friends.

The Sunday Sale: Lace Up a Discounted Pair of Stylish Men’s Boots from Thursday Boot Company

Thursday Boots Diplomat Boots review.

If you’re anything like me, scouring the market for the best menswear deals and scouring the market for further deals on the best men’s boots go hand in hand — and scoring a pair during perhaps the most prime season for rugged style is about as good as it gets.

That holds especially true when one of the best affordable boot brands gets even more affordable. This very agreeable discount comes courtesy of the Warehouse section via Thursday Boot Company, and today’s on-sale offering combines the best of both worlds when it comes to a rugged treaded outsole plus a refined silhouette and classic moc toe construction.

Best boots for men to wear this fall.

Let’s shine a spotlight in particular on the Thursday Boots Diplomat Boots, built from Thursday Boots Brown Chrome Leather with a glossy finish and Storm Welt Construction. They’re currently marked down below $150 in a range of sizes (between size 6 and 16, for those curious). In fact, even at full price ($199), these now-discontinued boots from Thursday Boots seem to be a downright steal in my book.

The details are carefully considered, as one might expect from Thursday Boots based on past Thursday Boot reviews, with a fully leather lined interior that molds to your foot the more you wear these handsome, versatile boots. The Thursday Boots Diplomat Boots are also built with anti-microbial shock-absorbing insoles for added comfort, while the exceptionally sturdy Army Track rubber lug outsole delivers maximum grip and a rugged look and feel.

Reinforced eyelets are paired with flat waxed cotton laces for a crisp, refined finish, while the company outfitted these go-anywhere boots with shock-absorbing cork midsoles for further wearability. You might say you’re getting the whole package with these reliable, stylish men’s boots, with a profile that’s ever so slightly dressy — dressy enough to wear with wool trousers and a navy blazer, for instance.

And yet, your new favorite leather boots should pair easily with dark blue jeans or tobacco-hued chinos and a chambray shirt, two combinations with some serious versatility this fall and well beyond. It seems likely that the Thursday Boots Diplomat Boots won’t be around forever, but for now, a wide range of sizes gives you options aplenty as you amp up your boot game this fall season.

Style Pick of the Week: Flint and Tinder Quilted Insulated Corduroy Jacket – A Ready-for-Anything Fall Layer

Best shirt jackets for men.

How does your shoulder season style rotation look? Those crucial picks that add strength, style and durability to casually rugged outfits are always welcome, at least in my neck of the woods.

And you can certainly trust Flint and Tinder to deliver the goods via Huckberry in all matters of dependable fashion and function, from its waxed trucker jackets to field coats, hard-wearing denim shirting and the newly introduced Corduroy Shirt Jacket shown above.

Learn more and shop now at Huckberry

When you want slightly more coverage than a trucker jacket, the flexibility to layer up and the grab-and-go nature of a buttondown shirt — amped up with a quilted design for added warmth — you’re in luck with the latest and greatest Flint and Tinder offering, my friends.

As Huckberry wisely notes, the idea of blending the insulation of an outdoor jacket with the design of a shirt dates back to the 1970s, aiding in mountain-ready utility without too much added bulk. Those design cues resulted in this handsome Deep Charcoal shirt jacket, fashioned from a weather-resistant corduroy shell that’s bolstered with TPU laminate.

Flint and Tinder shirt jacket for men.

It’s an ingenious move that gives one of the best shirt jackets for men even more bang for your buck, as the Flint and Tinder Corduroy Quilted Jacket is then amped up with 80-gram synthetic insulation. This design detail should add flexible warmth when worn atop a thermal henley or a merino long-sleeve shirt, on or off the trail.

And in classic Huckberry fashion, the acclaimed Americana retailer even took a few design cues from its rotation of the best Western-style shirts for men, using burnt bone buttons and snap chest pockets for a blend of style points and useful carrying capacity. The nicely sized wale corduroy also makes for a classic touch — it’s not too wide, not too narrow… just right in terms of visual appeal, folks.

Handwarmer pockets make this hard-working overshirt all the better to wear from the shop to the trail and the neighborhood dive bar, at least in my book.

And the Deep Charcoal color of the Flint and Tinder Corduroy Quilted Jacket pairs well with all manner of casually cool colorways, from inky blue selvedge denim to olive stretch canvas pants and burnished brown leather work boots. Of course, those are just two of the many ways you can wear your new favorite overshirt, and it’s not a stretch to say you should expect nothing less than the very best from Huckberry’s famed Flint and Tinder line.

Style points aren’t the only thing these handsome, well-crafted boots have going for them — you’ll find they just so happen to be crafted with Goodyear construction atop a durable Vibram outsole, while front and back pull tabs aid in an easy degree of wearability without proving too cumbersome.

Fully lined in leather and featuring the company’s signature leather insole, each detail is precisely considered with the utmost craft in mind — at least, that holds true in my experience with Palomo 1953.

Billy Reid men's chukka boots review.

And that brings us nicely to another outfit staple, the Billy Reid Indianola Chukka Boots, which are thoughtfully designed and expertly executed, especially as a pair of made-in-Italy leather boots are concerned. Would James Bond approve of these chukka boots? Perhaps, but we certainly known one of the country’s best designers does.

When it come to the ever-so-slightly dressy Billy Reid Indianola Chukka Boots, light brown kudu leather makes the difference in matters of pliable construction, while the upper is set atop the brand’s own lightweight comfort flex soles for ease of wearability right out of the box.

Speaking of wearability: You can wear these stylish leather chukka boots with Reid’s own moleskin jeans, dark blue denim or olive chinos without missing a beat, as the designer also uses sleek waxed laces and a burnished toe cap for added points of distinction.

Using an Italian last, note that the famed Alabama designer recommends sizing up a half-size when you add your new favorite chukka boots to your wardrobe, but keep in mind that your footwear selection — even for the investment-level $448 price tag — will be all the better for it this season.
