As we’ve talked about lately on this Brooklyn style blog, it might seem strange to be talking about early fall menswear, even as summer continues to roll on in fine fashion. But in the menswear world, things tend to move quickly, and assuredly, some of your favorite online menswear brands are already starting to roll out early fall men’s style collections, including award-winning American designer Billy Reid’s latest offering.

I’m talking about the kind of gear that’s well-suited for the changing seasons and brisk weather ahead, be it the right denim shirt, a new pair of rugged work boots or a lightweight sweater. Look closely and you’ll find more than a few pieces (like the Billy Reid Cochran Jeans shown here) that get the job done as far as bridging the gap between summer and early fall.

While a pair of the best light wash jeans are plenty useful in your summer style rotation, consider shifting back towards a slightly more substantial pair for early fall — and if that pair happens to come in a rich series of earthy tones, like Billy Reid Cochran Jeans, that’s all the better, at least in my experience.

These handsome jeans are crafted from a blend of 98 percent garment-dyed cotton and 2 percent stretch, and the Billy Reid Cochran Jeans are modeled after the brand’s best-selling (and equally fall-appropriate!) Moleskin Jeans.

Either would serve your fall style rotation well, particularly in a versatile and seasonally friendly color like British Khaki (for now, the Billy Reid Cochran Jeans also come in a deep Moss Green and a crisp Asphalt colorway).

In fact, take a look at the latest crop of New Arrivals at Billy Reid, and you very well might find more than a few pieces you can trot out right now, before fall hits in earnest (See: Sweater polos and henley sweaters in particular).

The details are concerned when it comes to your new favorite pair of men’s jeans, including eye-catching leather-backed rivets and custom antique brass hardware, along with the company’s signature embossed leather patch.

These boutique touches make the Billy Reid Cochran Jeans an investment-level pair of men’s jeans, the kind you can wear with a sleek white Oxford shirt at the office or with a grey henley on the weekends (and that’s just two style combinations that’ll go a long way for you this season).

With a trim fit and a mid rise, these should prove flattering, effortlessly cool and more than worth the price tag — that’s all you can ask for in a pair of the best jeans for men, and the Billy Reid Cochran Jeans are more than ready to welcome the new season ahead.
