Folks, take it from me: When a new season rolls around, it pays to be prepared in advance with the best spring style essentials, and you should certainly start from the ground up. Of course, you certainly don’t need me to tell you that, but a reminder is always helpful, yes? And there’s one source I always head towards when it comes time to build a look from ground up with a pair of the most rugged boots for spring.

The Rhodes Footwear Blake Chelsea Boots are also made in footwear hub Leon, Mexico, another indicator that you’re getting a pair of the best Chelsea boots on the market.

We’re wrapping things up early today, because you know what you need to do: Get out there and get a pair of the best Chelsea boots for men, with some added rugged appeal, via the Rhodes Footwear Blake Chelsea Boots.

The Tuesday Steal: Save More Than 30 Percent On This Lightweight Huckberry Vest for Spring Layering

Best spring shirt jacket for men.

Maybe, like me, you can feel it in the air a bit: Spring is rolling into town slowly but surely, and in a way that’s much more welcome than bitterly cold winter weather. What’s a guy to do? That’s easy, my friends: Layer up with the best spring menswear, and if you can save a few bucks in the process, that’s all the better. And where should a guy go to get those new spring style essentials?

If you’ve been keeping up with the blog on the regular, you already know that answer: Head to Huckberry, and in the case of today’s Tuesday Steal, head to the Huckberry Sale section. You’ll find what you need, and you’ll also find one of the best vests for men to wear this spring. The vest in question is the Proof Moonweight Puffer Vest, a more tech-savvy take on the vest than traditional fleece options, and the even better news? It’s 36 percent off right now, and available in cool colors like Carbon.

What’s the key with the Proof Moonweight Puffer Vest? It’s made from nylon infused with graphene, which resists odor, provides insulation and temperature regulation, and generally helps this vest serve as a reliably rugged, useful top layer for guys on the go. Wear the Proof Moonweight Puffer Vest in more casual ways (say, over a henley or a Huckberry flannel shirt), or style it with a dark grey Oxford and crisp blue jeans for a transit-friendly commute layer.

I’ll keep it brief today, since spring is on the way and a wardrobe refresh is the way to go. The key, though? Making sure you score a discount on the Proof Moonweight Puffer Vest before a new season arrives in earnest.

As I often talk about here at The Style Guide, curating a wardrobe packed with menswear essentials you love to wear should be fun, it should be consistent, and it should involve really seizing the day and striking while the iron is hot, so to speak. What exactly do I mean by that?

Best all-season blazer for men.

Even as we roll through 2023 and move ever closer to March, it can still feel like a bit of an odd sensation to dress up in one of the best men’s blazers, right? Of course, you very well might have been back in the office a while ago, but dress codes are ever shifting, formal events seem somewhat less formal and yet, there’s still the need to put your best foot forward. What’s a guy to do? My suggestion, of course, is to head over to the good folks at Huckberry and shop your new favorite blazer.

Yes, that’s right — Huckberry. The retailer seems to nail the perfect balance between rugged and refined gear: You can shop your favorite waxed trucker jacket one minute, then swap it out for stretch chinos and something as polished as the Wills All Seasons Stretch Wool Blazer, and you can do so at a moment’s notice… without missing a beat. Made in part from a blend of wool and elastane, this stylish men’s blazer boasts comfortable stretch (as so many menswear essentials do these days), yet it’s backed by the experience of Huckberry’s Portuguese tailoring partners.

That means you can order the Wills All Seasons Stretch Wool Blazer in your regular suiting chest size, and it arrives with hand-finished details like collar and front placket stitching, plus a half-canvas construction for improved drape, structure and durability. Buying a blazer online can be tricky, but if the reliability, service and performance of Huckberry gear is to be believed, then the Wills All Seasons Stretch Wool Blazer — which also comes with matching trousers — should certainly hold true.

It features standard flap suit pockets and a medium-width lapel for a classic look and feel, while the Wills All Seasons Stretch Wool Blazer boasts a single rear vent (like the suit coats most recently worn by James Bond), which is a bit more modern and sporty in terms of design. Crucially, you can pick up the Wills All Seasons Stretch Wool Blazer in timeless colors like Grey and Heather Navy, but more distinctive colors like Heather Bourbon are a way to nod to current suiting trends without overdoing it.

And if you pair up the Wills All Seasons Stretch Wool Blazer with its matching trousers (also available in an agreeable range of sizes), then you’re getting both a fairly classic suit and sportcoat for just over $500 for the two pieces. That’s versatility and timeless style that can’t be topped, so shop your new go-to blazer today at Huckberry.

Best men's chore coat for winter.

There comes a time in every season when your wardrobe starts to feel a little stale, even if you’ve done your best to stock it with, say, a selection of the best men’s winter jackets.

I’d imagine you’re well-acquainted with the retailer’s rugged-meets-refined offerings, but a refresher is never a bad thing — that’s certainly true when it comes to shopping one of the best men’s chore coats, the Wellen Blanket Chore Coat.

It’s got all of the trappings of a perfectly rugged, durable chore coat, yet it’s been done up in a warm yet surprisingly lightweight, unlined polyester-wool-nylon blend. That makes the Wellen Blanket Chore Coat a nice layer to throw on over a fisherman sweater or a more thick-knit jumper, or even one of the best men’s flannel shirts (both of which you can find at Huckberry, of course). And the Wellen Blanket Chore Coat has plenty more going for it beyond just that toasty (and again, lightweight!) winter fabric.

Notably, the Wellen Blanket Chore Coat is modeled after old-school, vintage blankets with vivid, rich patterns — take your pick from a Jacquard Stripe option or two handsome plaid variations.

All of those features turn the Wellen Blanket Chore Coat into a highly useful yet polished winter coat, one you can even wear in place of a blazer over your favorite Oxford shirt if you so choose. Best of all, the Wellen Blanket Chore Coat is priced fairly at just under $200, an agreeable price to pay to shake up your winter wardrobe. We’ll see you out there, my friends.
