The Sunday Sale: Head to Billy Reid to Get 30 Percent Off the Best Winter Menswear

How often are you able to find the best in-season style picks, like the best winter style essentials, on sale at steep discounts? Not too often, right? It’s a tricky search that just got a bit easier, though: You can head to the always well-stocked Billy Reid Men’s Sale section to get at least 30 percent off the best new winter menswear. That’s right: Everything from classic shirting to durable, stylish outerwear is on sale, and at prices that don’t come around all that often.

We’ve talked plenty about the Alabama-based Reid as of late, who fuses the crisp and timeless with the modern in sharp shirting, effortlessly cool suiting and famed, rugged-yet-refined outerwear like the Billy Reid Bond Peacoat. Of course, there’s a catch: Billy Reid menswear can often be quite pricey when not on sale, so the ever- crucial Billy Reid Sale section is a surefire win right now.

In fact, I’m willing to bet you’ll find everything you need when it comes down to what to wear to a holiday party for men within the Billy Reid Sale section, from a stylish on-sale men’s shirt to one of the coolest bomber jackets for men (pictured above, of course). When it comes time to get dressed in style this winter, make the Billy Reid Sale section your next shopping destination.

Style Pick of the Week: Billy Reid Mo Shirt Jacket – Save 20% for Black Friday and Cyber Monday

When the opportunity comes up to shop and save on some of the best menswear on the market, there’s no time to waste — strike while the iron is hot to get the best deals on your favorite menswear brands, yes? And when one of those brands is a refined retailer that doesn’t often discount its top styles — a brand like Billy Reid, for instance — it’s all the more important. So, let’s dive into today’s Style Pick of the Week.

Menswear deals for Black Friday and Cyber Monday abound, but the discount up for grabs at Billy Reid is worth your time and hard-earned cash. You can get 20 percent off orders of $400 or more, 30 percent off orders of $800 or more, and yes, 40 percent off orders of more than $1,200. Sure, that’s quite a hefty chunk of change to drop, but allow me to present one of the best men’s shirt jackets for consideration all the same.

The Billy Reid Mo Shirt Jacket, normally $498, is a rare weekly style pick in the pages of this blog that’s actually on sale, and on sale only for a very limited time. Like I said, pay close attention to plentiful deals for Black Friday and Cyber Monday in the menswear space, and you’ll be rewarded handsomely. In fact, the Billy Reid Mo Shirt Jacket is worthy of buying at full price — it’s the perfect go-between in place of a blazer, given its luxe design — but that 20% discount is too good to pass up.

Crucially, the Billy Reid Mo Shirt Jacket is made from an exceedingly handsome, warm wool blend in a rich color that wears well with a pair of the best men’s blue jeans or else, with burgundy corduroys and some of the best wingtip boots (to name but one outfit idea).

The Billy Reid Mo Shirt Jacket also has plenty of other stylish design details in the mix, including the use of embossed leather under the collar, plus a leather locker loop. And for good measure, yes, your new favorite shirt jacket is now 20 percent off at Billy Reid. Do yourself a favor, shop some of the best men’s style deals for Black Friday and Cyber Monday, and then thank me later. Cheers and thanks for reading!

Style Pick of the Week: Billy Reid Waxed Bond Peacoat – The Coolest New Jacket for Fall

My friends, just as “James Bond will return,” so too, will the much-loved Billy Reid Bond Peacoat. The now-iconic style (named for Reid’s Bond Street store in NYC and worn by 007 himself in Skyfall) is back in stock for 2022 and features some seriously cool new details, to boot. Of note, the famed Billy Reid Bond Peacoat is now, well, the Billy Reid Waxed Bond Peacoat. That’s right: Where the much-loved and fast-selling Bond Peacoat was once made of heavy, warm Melton wool — like classic peacoats from days gone by — the new iteration of the style features weather-resistant Scottish waxed cotton from legendary mill Halley Stevensons.

It’s a major step up that turns the Billy Reid Bond Peacoat into a jacket you can reliably wear in fall and winter — and spring, for that matter — with the specs and high-quality design to match. Making some of the best jackets for men is just one specialty of Mr. Reid, based in Alabama and a favorite of the blog for making seasonal staples like one of the best men’s henleys, too.

The soon-to-be-legendary (IMHO!) Billy Reid Waxed Bond Peacoat ups the ante in a major way. The original version of the Bond Peacoat already featured luxe details like a back-collar leather lining and genuine horn buttons and the Billy Reid Waxed Bond Peacoat also features standout details. In this case, that means your new favorite peacoat also features a warm quilted lining with an engineered stripe as an added style detail.

For good measure, the impressive Billy Reid Waxed Bond Peacoat even features leather tabs at the waist pockets, plus those same durable horn buttons. This jacket is both rugged and yet luxe and sleek, the sort of coat you can wear on blustery fall and winter days aplenty without missing a beat — while drawing compliments all the while, I’d bet. Of course, the Billy Reid Waxed Bond Peacoat is an investment at just under $700, but it’s an impressive jacket you’ll have for years to come — Bond himself approves.

The Thursday Buy: This Billy Reid Cotton Henley is One of the Best Casual Shirts for Fall

Now that we’re — very nearly — into October, hopefully, you’ve got a rotation of some of the best fall style essentials all sorted out. But there’s always room for more when shopping the right way, agreed? That’s where Alabama-based menswear designer Billy Reid enters the equation. The designer is a personal favorite of your Brooklyn style writer for his modern approach to the classics, blending rugged and refined the right way — as with the Billy Reid Cotton Lous Henley, easily one of the best henleys for men on the market this fall.

The Billy Reid Sueded Cotton Louis Henley is a perfect example of what the award-winning designer does best. That approach? Using premium materials to take a tried-and-true classic like one of the best men’s henleys and ramping things up a notch in terms of quality. Billy Reid did the same thing with one of the best men’s Western shirts this season, to be sure, and the Billy Reid Louis Henley does that just as well.

Crucially, this stylish henley for men is made in Peru from 100 percent cotton, for the sort of layering potential that works underneath a classic Billy Reid shirt — or else a flannel shirt jacket or even one of the best men’s waxed jackets. The four-button placket on your new favorite henley is also a cool design touch that gives this shirt a bit more of a refined feel — you could certainly wear it with one of the best fall blazers, too.

The rest of the time though, this rugged men’s henley is essential, well-designed, very well-made and certainly worth the higher price tag (it retails for $128 at Billy Reid). Better still is the fact that one of the best henleys for men comes in a wide variety of wear-with-anything colors. You’ve just found your new favorite casual shirt for fall and winter, my friends.

The Thursday Buy: Billy Reid’s Western Shirt is Your New Favorite Fall Shirt

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: It’s crucial to have variety within your wardrobe, especially menswear essentials that blend two key ingredients at the same time. It’s something of a specialty of Billy Reid: Taking something a bit rugged and a bit classic, and merging them together seamlessly. One only need look at the Billy Reid Western Shirt to get the idea. It’s got the classic looks of a Western shirt, with just a touch of rugged design all the while, and that makes it your new favorite shirt for fall.

Trust me on that, and be sure to look around the rest of the seriously well-designed Billy Reid New Arrivals section to get some of the best menswear for fall (and beyond). The Alabama-based designer already does a standout job crafting some of the best men’s shirts, what with touches that are both refined and yet wearable just about anywhere, and the Billy Reid Western Shirt is no exception. Now, it can be tough finding Billy Reid gear on sale, but this pick-up is worth it at full price.

What makes the Billy Reid Western Shirt so essential? Well, all things Western are certainly on trend right now, yet they don’t overdo it. This blue-meets-green multi-plaid design is eye-catching yet wearable with classic picks like tan chinos or inky blue denim, and small contrasting touches like white buttons offer a touch of visually appealing style, too.

Contrast stitching helps set the Billy Reid Western Shirt apart, too. On days when you want to class up your favorite fall blazer with a unique shirting touch, or on days when you simply want to throw on a stylish, grab-and-go shirt, this investment-level option is your best bet.

See Now, Buy Now: The Huckberry x Billy Reid Dover Hoodie Is Your Next Wardrobe Upgrade

There are certain style essentials you might think you’ve got covered in your wardrobe, like one of the best hooded sweatshirts. But what if I told you there’s always a chance to step things up a bit in a way that’s super-premium and super-unexpected in terms of design and quality? Yes indeed, that’s what we’re all about here at The Style Guide, and that’s the very idea behind the standout new Billy Reid x Huckberry Dover Hoodie, an absurdly cool, extremely well-made and highly stylish hooded sweatshirt for fall.

Sure, we might currently be in the depths of August, but by the time autumn rolls around, you’ll already have your new favorite hooded sweatshirt on lock – and my oh my, what a hooded sweatshirt you’ll have on hand for breezy fall days. It makes perfect sense that the good folks at Huckberry and Billy Reid would team up on a premium update to a laidback style staple.

After all, Huckberry specializes in rugged-yet-versatile menswear for nearly any occasion, and Billy Reid focuses on fresh updates to American classics.

In that sense, the Billy Reid x Huckberry Dover Hoodie hits the mark perfectly. Sure, it’s got the same look and feel as your go-to weekend hoodie, but with plenty of design touches that make it so cool, you could even wear it to the office on a casual Friday — yes, seriously. Of course, it goes without saying that the handsome elbow patches and leather pull tab detailing set the Billy Reid x Huckberry Dover Hoodie apart from the pack in a major way, and it only gets better from there.

The Billy Reid x Huckberry Dover Hoodie is made from soft, super-comfortable terry fabric, complete with herringbone twill detailing for a classic Billy Reid touch. Beyond that, it should prove easy to layer the Billy Reid x Huckberry Dover Hoodie atop everything from a classic long-sleeve tee to an Oxford shirt for a touch of high-low, office ready style.

To be clear, the Billy Reid x Huckberry Dover Hoodie is a splurge at just a shade under $250 ($248, to be exact), but either the timeless Dark Midnight or Grey color options will prove endlessly versatile this fall. When you want to shop the best hoodie for men on the market, look no further than the Billy Reid x Huckberry Dover Hoodie — it’s as easy as that.

Best men's short-sleeve shirt for summer.
