Best cashmere sweaters for men.

It’s always a pleasure to come across what you might call a pleasant surprise in the world of menswear essentials, like the fact that a brand that makes some of your favorite jeans also makes a host of other men’s style staples to go along with ’em.

That’s where Mott and Bow enters the fray — and your wardrobe — by making not only some of my favorite jeans on the market, but one of the best cashmere sweaters for men out there. The Mott and Bow Bergen Cashmere Crew Sweater looks simple enough on the surface, but dial down more closely and realize that it’s about as luxe as it gets — and a stellar value for the price tag.

This handsome, subtly stylish cashmere crew hits all the right notes, I’ve found, in terms of stylish cashmere sweaters. In my experience, Mott and Bow men’s sweaters are soft and yet supple, yet never flimsy – they also hold their shape nicely when worn on their own, or atop an Oxford shirt (a personal favorite combination of mine).

Plus, the crewneck design of the Mott and Bow Bergen Cashmere Crew Sweater — complete with ribbed cuffs and a ribbed neckline — is versatile enough to stand up to casual looks (like a pair of Mott and Bow jeans) or more refined style moves (like stretch chinos and leather Chelsea boots).

It also comes in five easy-to-style colors, including the personal favorite Hunter Green as shown above — with Mott and Bow, you’ve certainly got options.

The Mott and Bow Bergen Cashmere Crew Sweater is also available in a nice array of well-fitted sizes — I’ve found that Mott and Bow men’s sweaters run true to size, and feature plenty of room to comfortably layer.

The mid-weight cashmere fabric is neither too thick (Read: Hot!) nor too flimsy, something else I certainly appreciate when it comes to the Mott and Bow Bergen Cashmere Crew Sweater. No matter the color you select this season, I’d wager this elegant-yet-accessible cashmere option could quickly become a new daily staple.

See Now, Buy Now: The Tecovas Luke Chelsea Boots are the Rugged Fall Boots You Need Now

Best Chelsea boots for men

As we step ever more swiftly into fall, there are a few key considerations to keep in mind as you survey the landscape of the best fall style essentials. Chief among them, if you ask me, might be a proper pair of boots for all situations rugged, be it fall weekend cabin getaways, day trips, leisurely strolls or a wide range of pursuits (tailgating or Oktoberfest beers, anyone?).

All of that means you need a pair of boots you can count on, a pair that delivers versatility plus reliable comfort and performance — a pair of boots like the Tecovas Luke Chelsea Boots, as dependable a pair as any on the market.

The famed Texas brand, best known for its classic Cowboy boots and Western boots in all forms, also makes a heck of a pair of the best Chelsea boots, one that uses finely crafted leather and highly durable materials along the way. The difference is one you can see and feel, and it’s largely thanks to the rugged water-resistant cowhide leather in a rich Cognac color, one nicely complemented by weatherproof seams.

Tecovas men's boots review

A Vibram Cristy outsole delivers superior comfort, grip and even toughness, and it doesn’t hurt that the Tecovas Luke Chelsea Boots toe the line nicely in terms of both style and performance. The shape of the toe box is sleek enough to wear with black or light wash jeans (or even dark tan chinos), yet the build of these boots means you can wear ’em reliably for workwear situations, too.

Tecovas men's Chelsea boots review.

The cushioned insole of the Tecovas Luke Chelsea Boots adds even more comfort, and in my experience, I’ve found that Vibram outsoles are springy and strong yet ultra-supple for all-day wear. That touch alone gives the Tecovas Luke Chelsea Boots an edge above the rest of the competition, and here’s something even better.

You see, no matter which of the two leather options you select (particularly the Cognac leather seen here), well, I’d wager that the Tecovas Luke Chelsea Boots are only going to get better with more consistent wear.

Team ’em with your favorite blue jeans and a waxed trucker jacket, style ’em with tan chinos and a white Oxford shirt for high-low style, or opt into them as a durable choice with black selvedge jeans and a grey henley. There’s little that the Tecovas Luke Chelsea Boots can’t do, and you’re about to find that out the right way this fall — happy shopping, my friends.

In fact, it’s worthy of more than your consideration when checking out the new Buck Mason men’s sunglasses line — it’s worthy of an addition to your cart (and your wardrobe) ASAP, at least in my experience.

That sentiment certainly holds true with the new Taylor Stitch Slim Jeans in Rigid Organic Selvedge, a surefire style classic made modern by the famed San Francisco brand.

In the brand’s crisp Slim fit with a medium rise, the rugged and yet versatile Taylor Stitch Slim Jeans in Rigid Organic Selvedge get all the details right, especially in terms of the 14oz. organic selvedge cotton denim build.

When I’m on the hunt for early fall menswear essentials, I tend to stick with what I know, or with brands and styles I can trust — that includes rugged leather Chelsea boots, of course, and staple pieces like expertly cut denim and my favorite henley.

That’s likely an understatement, since they take the time-honored Chelsea boot and improve upon it in rugged fashion.

The Rhodes Footwear Blake Chelsea Boots start with a tumbled, broken-in leather upper for comfort right out of the box, and then Huckberry adds an extra reinforced panel for even greater toughness and durability.

To really double down on workwear-ready toughness, the Rhodes Footwear Blake Chelsea Boots use a chunky, grippy and yet lightweight Meramec PU outsole with a wedge build for a more casually rugged look. Plus, your new favorite Chelsea boots boast a full leather lining for extreme comfort right out of the box — at least, that’s true in my experience with Huckberry boots.

The Rhodes Footwear Blake Chelsea Boots are also fashioned with recraftable welt construction, so you can wear ’em for days, weeks and months on end this season (and on into the next one).

Helpfully, there are a range of sizes available in both a laidback Mojave Suede and a rich, gets-better-with-age Hickory leather — when it comes to finding your new favorite boots for fall, the Rhodes Footwear Blake Chelsea Boots are a strong contender, and they’re up for grabs right now.
