#OOTD: How to Dress for a Casual Fall Weekend This Year

Folks, maybe it caught you off-guard, out of the blue. Perhaps you woke up on a recent weekend and realized some breezy, ever-so-slightly crisp fall weather had snuck up on you. Well? What’s a guy to do when it comes to getting dressed for a fall weekend? The gear you wore in the past (college sweats, anyone?) isn’t quite up to snuff now, so I’ve got the answers — fear not. It’s high time you prepped for fall with another unstoppable #OOTD filled with, well, the best fall gear for men, my friends. And if you’ve been wondering how to dress for a fall weekend in style — and in a way that’s different from the casual menswear so many of us are now rocking at home during the week — you’re in luck.

Dressing for a breezy, cool, fall weekend should be fun, versatile and ready for anything, so trade in those old sweats. Whether you decide to dash out to the brewery to snap up some Oktoberfest beers (wear a mask!) or whether you’re heading out of town on a day trip or an orchard visit, these picks will get the job done. We’re talking one of the best casual jackets for fall, worn atop a Todd Snyder + Champion sweatshirt, for starters. Other accessories are along for the ride, including a casual Shinola watch. And if your day is spent in closer proximity to home, pieces like one of the best Bluetooth speakers of the moment are included in this ensemble, too (heck, once you see this speaker, you’ll want to pack it up to bring to your cabin). The point is this: Versatility and casual comfort — yet serious style points — are the M.O. of right now, so be sure you’re stocked up on all the best men’s from head-to-toe (stylish vintage ballcap included). Good luck out there, and feel free to let me know what you think of this look on Twitter.

All the casual, comfortable, rugged and cozy gear picks you need in your next fall #OOTD.

Whatever your weekend has in store — but especially if it’s got a mix of at-home hangs and adventures in the wild and across town — this #OOTD can handle it. It all starts, fittingly enough, with the Relwen Windzip Jacket, one of the coolest men’s jackets for fall, and one that’s easy to layer and ready for breezy seasonal weather. And how else to complement it for style out & about (or again, at home) than with one of the best crewneck sweatshirts from NYC’s Todd Snyder? It’s a recipe for success when you consider the base layer you’re working with: A rugged men’s henley that works just as well on its own as when layered up.

The reason this look works so stylishly is that it’s a step up from the ordinary — as in, some of the best casual pants are the right way to swap out your typical sweatpants. The whole ensemble looks even better (casual yet still cool) when you lace up the GREATS Court Sneakers, and naturally, the excellent Shinola Guardian Watch is one of the best men’s casual watches you can buy. Elsewhere, a pair of the best socks for men are as necessary an accessory as any, and American Trench is going to ensure that even your socks look darn stylish. As mentioned above, days at home — and even trips to your cabin — call for some essential listening, and the Master & Dynamic MA770 Wireless Speaker is as good as it gets. Top it all off with a rugged ballcap, then start planning out your weekend — you’ve earned it. To see how I’m dressing for fall, follow me on Instagram.

At least on the calendar now, we’re into the best season for menswear — and believe me, you’re going to need plenty of fall style essentials on tap. There’s really no better time to break out your favorite menswear picks — and given that it’s now prime layering season, we’ve got just what you need below. When it comes to fall weekends, these are the sort of days I cherish in Brooklyn, be it grabbing a rich coffee at my local shop or a choice IPA from my favorite bar. How about you? No matter where you might be, you’ll find a place for the picks below, including a rugged crewneck sweatshirt and a classic Oxford shirt. In my mind, this is the sort of outfit you’re going to want to wear to grab a weekend coffee, head out on a leisurely brunch, hit up your favorite bookstore … you get the picture, right? And particularly when you want to stroll through your favorite park or grab an Oktoberfest beer, you’re going to be glad you’re wearing classic light wash jeans and equally classic retro sneakers — this is all about casual comfort and elevated details. Isn’t fall wonderful? I can already feel it in the air. Want to see how I’m dressing for the season? Head to my Instagram — and put another Oktoberfest beer on my tab.
