As the year draws to a close, reflection and perspective is top of mind here at The Style Guide and elsewhere in my neck of the woods. I’ve got plenty to look back on, after all, in my many freelance writing pursuits, which took me everywhere from Morocco to Minneapolis to Boston to cherished family time in Florida and nights spent at more than a few of New York City’s best bars. Thank you for following along on Instagram and via this blog — and that gratitude is an understatement!

But before we can ring in 2024 and start talking about men’s style resolutions for the months ahead, there’s some business on my own list. You’ve no doubt seen the fact that Huckberry is running one of the best menswear sales of the year right now, the site’s #SeeYouOutThere Sale, and it’s as prime a time as any to refresh your wardrobe for the weeks ahead.

We’ll be giving you one final reminder on Sunday as we close out 2023, but for now, start your watch and keep track as the minutes tick away on menswear savings.

As for me this weekend, I’m closing out the new year where it started: Back in Brooklyn, with plans to visit the Arlo Williamsburg this coming Sunday night for a special soiree to welcome what lies ahead. What’s on your own agenda? In the meantime, perhaps some quick and easy online shopping for your favorite menswear will prove fruitful. Take your time with a few of my top weekend reading picks below, and then get ready to add a few items to your cart, my friends.

• I tend to cover plenty of brands I admire and appreciate here on the blog, especially brands with an heirloom-quality attention to detail and rugged aesthetic. Chief among those brands? The good folks at Filson, and it seems many of the dedicated readers of The Style Guide (thank you!) feel the same way: In fact, my Filson review of the Filson Tin Cloth Short Lined Cruiser Jacket was the most popular new post published on the blog this year! How about that? If you scoop up this jacket now, you’ll undoubtedly reap the rewards throughout 2024 (and many years beyond that).
• New Year’s Eve is very quickly bearing down on us, so while you might only have just enough time to secure an online order for a few new items, you can still take some style inspiration from the experts. In this case, my friends at Style Girlfriend put together a very handy guide on what to wear on New Year’s Eve, so consider your next #OOTD sorted.

• Now, there are plenty of the best men’s style Web sites that I respect and read frequently, one of them being Valet Mag. In the spirit of reflecting on the year and perhaps refreshing your wardrobe and home goods assortment, take a look at Valet Mag’s best products of 2023. There’s something for everyone on that list, my friends.

Now, I’ve said it at least once before and I’ll say it again: I know the final weekend of the year is an exhilarating one (hopefully!), with plans to close out 2023 and welcome 2024 with open arms in style. But before we get there, note once more the Huckberry #SeeYouOutThere Sale — and stay tuned for another brief reminder this coming Sunday. For now, stay stylish, stay safe and have a cold beer for me later!
