#OOTD: How to Wear a Classic Crewneck Sweatshirt This Fall

My friends, today’s rundown of fall style essentials begs the question: Is there a way to wear a classic crewneck sweatshirt that’s more stylish than, say, the old-school gym class crewneck? The answer is decisively yes, so come along for the ride as we talk about how to wear a crewneck sweatshirt this fall. Yes indeed, join us once more another ultra-stylish #OOTD as we cover how to dress for fall for guys — the right way, naturally. It all starts with one of the best crewneck sweatshirts for men, and it helps if you know where to go. Today’s pick is from Todd Snyder + Champion, a fruitful collaboration that’s produced vintage-inspired menswear for the modern man over the years, including the Todd Snyder + Champion sweatshirt you’re about to view below. When you start with a rugged-yet-refined crewneck, then build around it, you’re going to love where you can go this fall. This #OOTD is the kind of look that works for a responsible fall bonfire, a day trip to your fall retreat or a day bumming around the yard and at home (consider adding a new record player to your cart for especially chilly fall evenings). When you see the supporting cast around this sweatshirt, including a one of the best men’s Oxford shirts, a James Bond-approved waxed jacket, expertly faded denim from Buck Mason and some of the best leather boots, you’re going to appreciate the ongoing arrival of fall. Happy shopping, my friends.

A classic crewneck sweatshirt, teamed up with all the best men’s gear for fall.

If you ask me, when it comes this stylish fall look, the gang’s all here. That includes subtle-yet-stylish supporting picks like denim from Buck Mason, all the better for essential, comfortable fall style, and it holds doubly true when you consider the start of the entire ensemble. I’m talking about the Todd Snyder + Champion Pocket Sweatshirt, an undeniably cool and rugged fall sweatshirt that layers with ease over your Everlane Oxford shirt for classic style any day of the week. Somehow, it all gets better and more fitting for fall, though. That’s because the Rogue Territory Supply Jacket — again, one of the jackets worn by James Bond in “No Time To Die” — makes a seriously cool appearance alongside slim, faded Buck Mason denim. Consider the perfectly ruggged the FRYE Logan Boots a key part of this look, too — they’ll take you anywhere you need to go this season, I guarantee it.

But of course, your mix of comfort and style wouldn’t be complete with a pair of the best men’s socks via the good folks at American Trench (your feet will thank you). Of course, the only way to accessorize is the right way: With a rugged leather field watch and a correspondingly handcrafted leather belt from Billykirk. Well-done, folks. That’s hardly it, though. Your Filson rugged twill bag is the perfect companion to each and every fall adventure you have in mind. If I had to guess, that list is growing by the day. For now, stay safe out there and thanks for reading!

It’s a tough-as-nails, no-holds-barred, stylish trucker jacket made from durable waxed Martexin sailcloth and finished off with antique metal buttons, plus a flannel lining for fall and winter warmth. With a classic-yet-still-tailored trucker jacket cut, an easy-to-layer design and space for your EDC essentials, it’s an ingenious jacket that’s perhaps one of the best jackets for men for the colder months — that’s not hyperbole if ever you’ve tried it (and I own two myself!).

Heck, if you’ve been thinking about picking up this jacket, there’s never been a better time. The Flint and Tinder Waxed Trucker Jacket comes in more than six versatile, easy-to-style colorways, with tough hardware and plenty of layering potential to match. Wear it atop a chambray shirt or a classic henley (or both), then pair that combination with your favorite denim, the Flint and Tinder 365 Pants or rugged work pants — heck, do all of the above for every day of the week. This is one jacket that can do it all, so get shopping accordingly.

And if you live in or near Portland, Asheville or Denver (three of my favorite cities!), you know the joys of the terrific “Belgian-rooted ales” being produced at Thirsty Monk’s brewpubs. That list includes the new Trail Monk IPA, made with orange peel and zest for a bittersweet zing at the finish.

See Now, Buy Now: This Billy Reid Shirt Jacket Is Your Perfect Fall Layer

A perfectly refined and rugged Billy Reid shirt jacket. It’s that easy for fall.

If there’s one American menswear designer who knows a thing or two about making fall style essentials that are just as rugged and refined — yet versatile — as you need them to be — it’s Alabama-based Billy Reid. The designer has been a longtime favorite of the blog, and with good reason — pieces like the Billy Reid Plaid Mo Shirt Jacket exemplify high quality, classic design, and seasonally friendly appeal, all at once. Long story short: The Plaid Mo Shirt Jacket is one of the best men’s shirt jackets you’re going to invest in this fall — and invest in it you should. After all, the right shirt jacket combines old-school cool with new-school touches — and in the case of this particular shirt jacket, that means a heck of a lot of crucial touches (and none that you don’t need, for that matter).

SHOP: The Billy Reid Plaid Mo Shirt Jacket 

A no-frills silhouette made all the better thanks to American-made construction.

The greatness inherent in one of the best shirt jackets starts with a soft, brushed wool fabric blend (in a rich plaid pattern, no less) — this makes this particular outer layer suitable for pairing with everything from your favorite henley to a rugged chambray shirt in equal measure. Large genuine horn buttons give it durability and the crucial added touch that makes it able to stand up on its own (or underneath a tough waxed parka if it gets really nasty out there). Speaking of standing up … flip up the collar on this rugged shirt jacket to reveal a handsome leather lining for a bit of a refined touch. Oh, and be sure to use the front-button chest pockets to handle your everyday carry essentials — there’s no wrong way to go in terms of layering or style points with the Billy Reid Plaid Mo Shirt Jacket, this is undoubtedly true. Right? Right.

#OOTD: Wear This Gear to Layer Up on A Chilly Fall Morning

When you feel it in the air, you just know. That is to say, the sort of cool, crisp fall morning that calls out to be enjoyed with your favorite fall gear picks and a hot cup of coffee in hand as the mist rolls in — that’s quite the idllyic picture to paint, and maybe your weekend morning view looks a bit different (it does for me in Brooklyn!), but the best fall style essentials for a casual weekend can help you gear up any which way you slice it. So today, we’re going with the kind of cozy, casual gear that’ll work well for a weekend coffee date or a cool, laidback morning in equal measure — think of the rugged layers that a menswear hero like Daniel Craig wears in “The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo,” for instance. That is to say, a rugged sweater from Wellen in a fittingly thick knit should wear mighty nicely with a classic chambray shirt for when it’s too cold to do anything but bundle up more. And the rest of these picks are able to go into town or host guests at home, too — take slim faded black jeans and pair them up with classic leather hiking boots to get a dose of functionality and style all at once. Of course, we’ve also got a cozy merino beanie and a tough leather watch standing tall on the accessories front. All you need for the morning is a great cup of coffee, and then in the evening, kick back with a sip of whiskey. This rugged #OOTD will do the rest. Cheers to fall!
