The Thursday Buy: This Bonobos Overshirt Is one of the Coolest Layers You Can Wear This Season

In my book, one of the best times of the year — no perhaps, the best time of the year for menswear — is fall. Or rather, fall right on the verge of winter. In fact, we’re right smack dab in the middle of the perfect time for fall menswear essentials.

A brisk breeze carries leaves on the air, there’s still time aplenty for fall park strolls, bonfires and whiskey sipping, and one of the best men’s overshirts can help you do it all. I find myself wearing one of the best overshirts for men on a near-daily basis these days.

If you’re in the same boat, I think you’ll find today’s change of pace from one of the best online menswear brands — that’d be Bonobos — a nice move.

You’ll certainly find some of the best new fall menswear within the Bonobos New Arrivals section, including the Bonobos Corduroy Overshirt in question today. Now, here’s the catch: The traditional overshirt, with its thicker fabric and larger buttons, wears like a jacket, as opposed to, say, one of the best chambray shirts for men.

The Bonobos Corduroy Overshirt has many of those same qualities, but the fabric is a swerve. It’s a rich, velvety corduroy, as opposed to a harder-wearing material like flannel, so it’s got a more elegant look and feel to it. Of course, the hits keep on rolling for this lauded menswear retailer.

It features slightly oversized buttons and two handy button chest pockets for maximum utility, and the rich Port Wine color option shown here is a perfectly appropriate touch for the season at hand. It also comes in classic colors like Black, and a rich Tuscan Olive that would wear nicely with charcoal dress trousers or even dressier dark blue jeans.

With the Bonobos Corduroy Overshirt, you’ve surely got options. Even the lightweight contrasting-flannel cuff and collar detailing sets this handsome overshirt apart from the pack. Bonobos rightfully calls your new favorite overshirt “classic and comfortable,” and I could see it wearing seamlessly over everything from your favorite henley to a turtleneck for a dash of refined fall and winter style.

Sure, the Bonobos Corduroy Overshirt is a touch different than a rugged denim or flannel workshirt, but it’s no less a worthy option as you bolster your rotation of the best fall and winter menswear. We’ll see you out there, my friends.

The Tuesday Steal: The Bonobos Semi-Annual Sale Gives You An Extra 30% Off

If your summer has been anything like mine, it feels like it’s positively flown by — and yet, duty calls, as one of the best menswear deals of summer is still rolling right along, beckoning you to come along for the ride and restock your closet in fine fashion.

I’m talking, in this case, about the jam-packed Bonobos Semi-Annual Sale, which offers up some astounding discounts from one of your favorite brands.

Bonobos has grown over the years into a company that makes so much more than just the best chinos for men: They now serve up everything from one of the best linen shirts to the famed Bonobos Off Duty Jogger. It should come as no surprise that the Bonobos Semi-Annual Sale is similarly expansive, with hundreds of deals up for grabs.

For instance: You can look ahead to early fall with the Bonobos Stretch Flannel Shirt, or you can save more than 50 percent on the summer-minded Bonobos Riviera Short-Sleeve Shirt. Similarly, the iconic Bonobos Stretch Washed Chino 2.0 is also on sale, with a range of colors and fits to meet every style need. Take it from me: The fit of Bonobos men’s chinos is second to none, and the versatility and dependability is unmatched, too.

Shop Bonobos men’s pants now

It might sound very nearly too good to be true, but that’s the thing with Bonobos in my experience. Be it the soft. stretchy fabric, the durable design details or the massive range of silhouettes (from chinos to chore coats to chambray shirting), the brand very nearly always delivers.

And there’s not a better way to get an introduction (or reintroduction!) to the brand right now than the Bonobos Semi-Annual Sale. Cheers to that, my friends.

The Sunday Sale: This Best-Selling Bonobos T-Shirt Is 50 Percent Off Right Now

Folks, let’s waste no time this weekend in directing you towards the menswear essentials you can make use of right now — and then the rest of the season. I’m talking, of course, about a handy deal and a tried-and-true essential that’s going to come through in the clutch: One of the best men’s T-shirts, naturally.

And the brand making your new favorite T-shirt? Of course, it’s Bonobos, the same brand that also makes your favorite classic chinos. In my experience, Bonobos can do no wrong — but allow me to expand on that.

Learn more now at Bonobos

The T-shirt is a staple in every guy’s wardrobe, no question — for conference calls (underneath a lightweight blazer), for summer travel, for fall and winter layering and for, well, every single style situation you can dream up.

And I’ve got just the T-shirt for you, one that’s available for 50 percent off right now. Yessir, the Bonobos Soft Everyday Tee delivers the goods, and it’s one of the softest tees on the market, for my money’s worth (as the name would imply). It’s regularly priced anywhere from $29 to $35, and available in a range of fits and sizes, so pay attention to your selection of choice (assuming this deal is too good to pass up for you!).

Now, let’s get into what makes the Bonobos Soft Everyday Tee tick — it’s $15 on sale right now, and that’s a deal that doesn’t stick around forever. But is the Bonobos Soft Everyday Tee worth it? Take it from me: It assuredly is, and it wears much better than its low sale price tag might indicate.

Sizes are moving very quickly, but the cotton-poly blend is the perfect touch in terms of the right amount of stretch and a soft handfeel. Plus, the Bonobos Soft Everyday Tee comes in breezy colors like Heather Beach, Heather Moss and Heather Apple, each of which should wear nicely on its own or underneath a Bonobos denim jacket.

The real selling point here, though, might be that absurdly excellent sale price. Yes indeed, the Bonobos Soft Everyday Tee delivers the perfect mix of standout style, affordability and comfort. That’s a T-shirt worth having in your corner.

See Now, Buy Now: Bonobos Is Making One of the Best Linen Shirts for Summer

Folks, what’s a guy to do to beat the heat in the summer months? All the while looking polished while dressing for the office, perhaps wearing one of the best men’s shirts for summer? In my experience, it’s no easy task — not in the slightest, but that’s why I leave it to the menswear experts at Bonobos. The brand has been a longtime favorite of mine, especially for its exceptionally well-fitting jeans and chinos, not to mention a full lineup of some of the best men’s shirts — is there anything the NYC brand can’t do?

Well, I’ve tried out a little bit of everything from the brand over the years, and I’m just not sure there’s an area in which they don’t have you covered in terms of menswear essentials.

Witness the latest and greatest from the brand, the Bonobos Easy Linen Shirt. It lives up to its billing as a comfortable, ultra-breezy and yes, easygoing shirt, exactly the kind you need to stay cool while looking polished. If it sounds too good to be true, rest easy that, well, it’s not: It’s the Bonobos way, after all.

Crucially, the Bonobos Easy Linen Shirt boasts largely the same fit options as the rest of the brand’s well-tailored, classically designed shirts. Choose from Slim or Standard, then select from one of three shirt lengths to nail that optimal fit. But the real key when it comes to the Bonobos Easy Linen Shirt might be that all-important fabric. A blend of cotton and linen gives this shirt both a lightweight, breathable feel and yet some nice shape to it. Beyond that, the use of cotton in the Bonobos Easy Linen Shirt means that shirt won’t wrinkle quite as easily.

Shop Bonobos shirts right now

The rest of the details are on point: The Bonobos Easy Linen Shirt boasts a point collar you can wear with or without a knit tie this summer at a seasonal shindig, and the style itself should look polished and appropriate worn tucked or untucked. And the best part about the Bonobos Easy Linen Shirt? Of course, you can wear it with ease alongside practically any pair of Bonobos men’s pants or jeans, from light wash denim to stretch chinos. How’s that for staying cool in the heat this summer? Go forth and get to it, my friends.

The Friday Read: My New Favorite Watch, Pedro Pascal’s Trucker Jacket & Tropical Getaway Gear

Folks, thanks for joining me for the latest Friday Read, a perfect way to roll on into your weekend (if I do say so myself). I’m coming off my birthday weekend (as you saw if you follow me on Instagram!) and I’ve been back at it this week with plenty of freelance writing pursuits.

So: Let’s start off this weekend by taking stock of, say, your watch collection. I’m frequently on the lookout for stylish men’s watches that are durable, rugged and versatile, be it something like the Shinola Bronze Monster Automatic or my go-to watch of choice as of late from Dan Henry Vintage Watches.

The company virtually offers a historic stroll through the watch world, looking at classic men’s watches from the late 1930s through to the 1970s, then putting a modern twist on them. This leads to a nice mix of rugged but dressy details, dependable designs and some seriously cool strap and dial combinations, like my watch of choice: The Dan Henry 1975 Skin Diver. It features a 39mm retro-style case, a handsome black dial and a contrasting brown rubber strap.

In short, it’s one of the best men’s watches to wear on cold winter nights with a shawl cardigan and flannel shirt, since it’s casually rugged and seriously cool. So, that’s the timepiece I’ll be wearing this weekend as I make my way on an upstate trip (again, follow me on Instagram to keep up!). For now, here’s the rest of your Friday Read. Scroll on accordingly, my friends.

Perhaps you, like much of the rest of the country, have been enthralled by the HBO zombie apocalypse drama “The Last of Us,” starring none other than Pedro Pascal. And by now, I’d wager you’ve also read a thing or two about the show, including some insight into Pedro Pascal’s “The Last of Us” trucker jacket. After all, fighting off zombies is hard work, and naturally, our protagonist turned toward the immortal Flint and Tinder Waxed Trucker Jacket. As you know if you read the blog, it’s a Huckberry classic, and if you want to get that very same look, snag yourself a fresh one now.

Shop Pedro Pascal’s trucker jacket now

By now, you’re probably getting just a bit sick of the frigid cold, right? I’ve got a solution for you: While I can’t plan out your next tropical getaway, I can indeed help you figure out what to pack for your next vacation. Keep it breezy, colorful and light — I wrote about the best style essentials for a tropical getaway over at Men’s Journal. Time to start planning and packing, folks.
Since I’m hitting the road this weekend, I’ve been thinking about the best travel pants this season (and beyond). Accordingly, you should check out Wednesday’s blog post on the best pants for travel from Bonobos — here’s my full take. Cheers and good luck out there!

That should tidily wrap up your guide to weekend must-haves, be it a new packing list for a breezy vacation or the chance to shop Pedro Pascal’s “The Last of Us” trucker jacket. In the meantime, stay stylish, look for tomorrow’s Style Pick of the Week and we’ll see you out there!

See Now, Buy Now: Hit the Road This Winter (And Beyond) With the Bonobos Travel Trousers

As we’ve talked about in the past on the blog, there’s a tricky balance to strike when it comes to how to dress for travel. As more of us get back on the road properly this year, the quest for both comfort and style remains at the forefront, and that’s where the best men’s pants for travel come into play.

Specifically, they’re coming at you from Bonobos, makers of some of the best men’s chinos and stretch pants. So, just as you’ve adopted a new wardrobe to work from home (or occasionally at the office), your travel style needs should shift, too — in that case, folks, meet the Bonobos Travel Trousers. The very definition of the intersection of style and comfort, no doubt about it (keep reading for more).

As with many a pair of comfortable yet stylish pants, you’ll find these stylish pants for travel in the Bonobos New Arrivals section, always a space worth keeping an eye, whether you’re packing for a weekend road trip or simply heading back into your cubicle. The Bonobos Travel Trousers manage to boast the clean, creased-front look of your best pair of dress trousers, but with plenty of hidden features that deliver the comfort you crave (and the polished, office or travel-ready style you need on the daily).

The Bonobos Travel Trousers are made from a blend of rayon, nylon and spandex, all the better for loads of stretch and mobility. And yet, they also feature a clean front waist design, not unlike the same waist design you’d find on a pair of sharp, tailored dress trousers. The major difference, though? An elastic waistband and sizing done by general size (as in, Small or Medium) versus waist measurements. Whether you team them with one of the best wool sweaters or a Bonobos Oxford shirt for days on the road or on the 9-to-5 grind, the Bonobos Travel Trousers epitomize what it means to look good on the go.

The Tuesday Steal: Save 50 Percent On Some of the Best Jeans for Men with the Bonobos Travel Jeans

If you ask your favorite Brooklyn style writer (me!), dressing well is about always meeting the occasion as best you can with some of the best men’s style essentials — and yes, that still includes traveling. There’s definitely a line to walk between comfort and style, and there are certainly ways to look great, feel good and stick to your style guns… even with a flight or train ride ahead of you. For my money’s worth, few brands are rising to meet that moment quite like Bonobos.

Sure, they’re already quite well-known around here for the best chinos for men, not to mention some of the best work-from-home pants on the market — but what about the best stretch jeans? That’s where the Bonobos Extra Stretch Travel Jeans come into play, and here’s the great news: Select pairs of the best men’s stretch jeans are as much as 50 percent off today.

Note that you can score three seasonally friendly colors of the Bonobos Extra Stretch Travel Jeans for that deep discount, with a fourth pair up for grabs at about 17 percent off (as of press time). Of course, it’s hard to go wrong with any pair of the Bonobos Extra Stretch Travel Jeans, even at full price, simply because they’ve improved upon the best-selling Bonobos Travel Jeans in an even bigger way.

Think: An “extra-stretchy” garment-dyed jean in a five-pocket style, the kind that looks great at the office and then on the road — and then out to dinner afterwards. Pick up a pair of the Bonobos Extra Stretch Travel Jean in a cool color like Madeira Olive and you’ve got both a colorful (yet still muted!) pair of winter pants, plus an excellent pair of pants to shake up your wardrobe the rest of the year. And again, as if you needed another reminder: The Bonobos Extra Stretch Travel Jeans are as much as 50 percent off for a limited time. Go forth and shop, my friends.

In fact, we just talked on Monday about how the famed menswear E-commerce brand is making some of the best men’s jeans, so let’s take another deep dive into something they do so well.

I’m talking, of course, about the fact that Bonobos makes one of the best men’s shirts for fall, that pleasingly rugged and durable denim shirt you see at the top of the page. Yes indeed, the Bonobos Stretch Denim Shirt is an unexpected pick from a company best known for making some of the best chinos for men, but it’s going to serve you very well as the thermostat drops (I guarantee it).

That stretch makes the aptly named Bonobos Stretch Denim Shirt comfortable to wear, easy to move around in and easy to layer, of course.

The contrast stitching adds some nice visual appeal, while the buttondown collar gives it a bit of casual polish. Ifyou ask me, you could wear the Bonobos Stretch Denim Shirt with your favorite fall blazer as readily as you could style it atop one of the best henleys for men for more rugged style. Of course, the sub-$100 Bonobos Stretch Denim Shirt also wears exceptionally well with a pair of the best chinos for men from the famed brand, so make sure you shop accordingly this season, my friends.
