Mixing the rugged and the refined is the name of the game, with a profile that can be reasonably dressed up or dressed down — depending on the weather, of course.

And the Beckett Simonon Lopez Boots check plenty of boxes if you need another pair of rugged, durable footwear to carry you through winter and into spring (the groundhog did see his shadow, after all!). While the footwear maker does indeed produce streamlined dress boots with wingtip and captoe detailing, the hard-wearing yet versatile Beckett Simonon Lopez Boots fall somewhere in between — able to be paired with dark blue indigo jeans or wool trousers in equal measure. That’s certainly not all they’ve got going for ’em.

The Beckett Simonon Lopez Boots work so well for your versatile style rotation thanks to the use of rugged pull-up leather, complete with a more round toe box that’s apt for pairing with casual trouser styles. There’s a laundry list of features built into these dependable boots, including the use of a leather lining and leather insole for comfort, sweat absorption and a fit that molds to your feet over time.

A steel shank delivers structure and support, and heel caps add grip and durability. Throw in the fact that the Beckett Simonon Lopez Boots are crafted with resoleable Blake stitch construction and are also water-repellent — critical in any pair of handsome yet essential men’s bots for winter — and Beckett Simonon has certainly done a proper job at crafting another standout pair to add to your rotation.

These stylish men’s leather boots also come in colors like Walnut and a rich, deep Chocolate color, all the better to wear with everything from light wash jeans to olive chinos, while the pull-up leather construction will develop a wonderful patina over time.

How will you rock your new favorite pair of boots?

The brand has something for just about everyone (including a line of home goods and basics, right down to socks, plus pages of accessories aplenty to pore through). There are also more Quince men’s sweaters out there than you can shake a stick at, including a range of shawl cardigans, quarter-zip sweaters, polo sweaters, classic cardigans and of course, the famed line of Mongolian Cashmere Crewneck Sweaters.

And as you can see here, the brand also does a standout job at visually interesting, modern takes on the classics, like the trusty cable-knit crewneck sweater. In recent weeks in fact, I’ve had the chance to try out the Quince Mongolian Cashmere Cable Crew, a more elevated take on, say, the traditional fisherman sweater (and yes, Quince also makes fisherman-style sweaters). Right off the bat, the Quince Mongolian Cashmere Cable Crew is a major winner in terms of affordability, especially concerning what traditional designers might dream up.

Of course, 100 percent Mongolian cashmere makes up its ultra-soft construction, billed by the do-it-all brand as “a lightweight yet exceptionally warm sweater that delivers natural breathability and a luxuriously soft hand-feel against the skin.” In frigid temperatures across NYC, that certainly holds true (when layered beneath a trusty peacoat, of course).

The Quince Mongolian Cashmere Cable Crew also comes in highly stylish, easily wearable colors, including shades of beige, tan, grey and navy — and at their current price tag, you very well might want to pick up more than one iteration of the handsome Quince Mongolian Cashmere Cable Crew.

The Line of Trade Summit Flannel Shirt is quite simply a do-it-all, goes-with-almost-anything casual shirt with style points aplenty to spare.

See Now, Buy Now: These Proof Rover Work Pants from Huckberry are Ready for Winter’s Worst

Best work pants for men.

If your neck of the woods looks anything like mine these days, I’m willing to bet you’re dealing with your fair share of frigid wind, deep snow and foul conditions aplenty. And yet, the work doesn’t stop, be it your winter to-do list or the ever-mounting need to shovel snow, dig yourself out and perhaps get back to the office.

For whatever’s in your way and whatever happens to be on your to-do list, the best workwear can handle it all — and then some. The best work pants for men, while not traditional snow pants you’d wear on a mountain, are more than equipped to take on the task at hand, especially if the sturdy work pants for men are the Proof Rover Double Knee Work Pants, which blend form and function in a reliably rugged way from the good folks at Huckberry. Better still is the fact that you can save 15 percent on your purchase of two pairs — but let’s dive into why you’d want to do that, shall we?

There’s always much to love in the way of durable winter gear, performance-minded menswear and tough-as-nails supplies in the digital shelves at Huckberry, and the road-ready Proof Rover Double Knee Work Pants should more than pass muster. Proof delivers adventure-minded performance menswear under the Huckberry umbrella, from its famed 72-Hour Merino T-Shirts (truly worn for three days of hard-working off-grid excursions) to the fan-favorite Proof Rover Pants, which my Proof reviews have covered here on this Brooklyn style blog.

Best work pants for men.

The hard-working Proof Rover Double Knee Work Pants share much of the same DNA as the flagship Proof Rover Pants, starting with their fabrication. Your new favorite winter pants feature a tough-as-can-be cotton-blend, recycled poly fabric construction that regulates your temperature, boasts just enough useful stretch and wicks away moisture at the same time. Talk about a laundry list of features designed to move with you and make tackling your to-do list all that much easier.

Lest we forget, the Proof Rover Double Knee Work Pants feature reinforced construction at key stress points through the thigh and knee, plus riveted pockets for an ultra-sturdy finish. In my experience wearing the Proof Rover Pants, the pigment-dye finish makes these rugged work pants for men surprisingly sturdy and yet supple out of the box, all the better to mold to your body over time.

Of course, whether layered up with a thermal henley and a wool-lined waxed trucker jacket or styled with a burly crewneck sweater and a barn coat, the dependable Proof Rover Double Knee Work Pants should move easily with you, thanks to the gusseted crotch. Huckberry even built out the forward-thinking Proof Rover Double Knee Work Pants with a back waistband pocket for your everyday carry.

Rounding things out is the fact that some of the best men’s work pants come in three proprietary Huckberry fits, including an Athletic Tapered fit (my personal favorite) and a crisp Slim fit — not to fear though, as the reliable Proof Rover Double Knee Work Pants should still readily team with pull-on work boots or Red Wing Iron Ranger Boots. Don’t delay snapping up your new go-to work pants — they can handle winter’s worst, and then some.

See Now, Buy Now: Pair This Rugged Tecovas Sweater with Your Favorite Western Boots This Winter

Tecovas menswear review.

As we bundle up with increasing fervor across the frigid winter months, it’s important to remember — at least in my experience — that having a bit of fun in the process of scouring the market for winter style essentials is, well, also important. So, while you might have figured out your outerwear situation and ideally, the best winter boots on your feet, it pays off to have a touch of fun or at least a touch of the unexpected in your layering rotation.

That’s where Tecovas comes in: As fun as it is to step out in a pair of rugged Tecovas work boots or the brand’s ever-popular Western boots, it’s perhaps even cooler to discover something a bit unexpected, like one of the best winter sweaters for men. The Austin-based brand has shot to popularity across the past decade for embodying all things Western in matters of style and substance, and a rugged winter sweater like the Tecovas Desert Crew Neck Sweater can add a dash of dependability, flair and style to everything from a waxed trucker jacket to a flannel shirt jacket.

Helpfully, the Tecovas Desert Crew Neck Sweater is unexpected, it’s eye-catching and it’s built to last at a relatively fair price ($145 as of press time). Paired up with your favorite pair of handsome, durable Tecovas leather Western boots — of which the brand makes dozens of different styles — and you’ve got a stylish sweater you can layer up in versatile fashion.

Crafted from midweight Merino wool for temperature regulation and plenty of warmth (whether paired with a chambray shirt or straightforward long-sleeve cotton tee), this sweater gains variety from its half-cardigan stitch construction through the body. Pair that with shoulder and back yoke seed stitch detailing, plus rack stitching at the cuffs and hem — this handsome sweater is visually appealing all the way through, especially in Winter White.

Best of all is the attention to detail in constructing the Tecovas Desert Crew Neck Sweater — note the cow skull motif emblazoned across the back in bold, rugged fashion. It’s a one-of-a-kind sweater available in two crisp colors and practically made to be paired with expertly crafted light wash or dark blue jeans (which you can also score at Tecovas, as luck would have it!). The next time opportunity comes knocking in the form of a reliable sweater to layer up with during winter’s worst weather, I’d wager the Tecovas Desert Crew Neck Sweater is about as good as it gets.

There’s certainly a dependable, no-nonsense and no-fuss appeal to the layering potential of the Buck Mason Vintage Thermal Tee, which is rightfully called a “staple layering piece in waffle-knit cotton with a smooth back for comfort and ease,” the company sagely notes.

And as we’ve talked about lately on this Brooklyn menswear blog, the new year is as great a time as any to cop some stylish men’s sneakers (“cop” is streetwear parlance for “buy,” of course — how do you do, fellow kids??).

At any rate, even if you’re not a massive sneakerhead, there’s likely not a designer you can trust more to get the style and silhouette just right — as in just right — than the award-winning designer Todd Snyder, folks.

In the same way that the designer can go slightly rugged-yet-refined with one of the best Western shirts for men, for instance, he can also take the classically casual style of New Balance sneakers and amp it up a notch in luxe suede.

And while the casually cool, utterly classic Todd Snyder x New Balance 574 Sneakers aren’t up for grabs at the ongoing Todd Snyder Winter Sale (more on that later this week, folks), these fresh kicks — there’s that word again, fresh! — are certainly the right way to go, at least if the weather holds out and you can rock ’em with rolled chinos or light wash jeans in equal measure.

The Todd Snyder x New Balance 574 Sneakers, billed by Todd Snyder and co. as”the most “New Balance” sneaker to ever come out of New Balance,” the style is iconic in its own right, as wearable with an Oxford shirt and cardigan (plus olive chinos, based on the hue you select) as with a laidback henley and indigo blue jeans.

With a crisp nubuck suede upper and a comfortable, supportive EVA foam midsole and heel, you’re stepping out in easygoing style made to last all day (especially if you want to ease back into office life in more laidback fashion).

Best blazers for men to buy now.

There’s still one last entry on the calendar to cross off before we move from 2025 into 2026, but it’s never too early — as I’ve said across the past weeks — to start thinking about how your next year will develop in matters of style and substance.

On that note, let’s start things off with a bang — and with style and savings in mind — by poring over the happenings at the Huckberry See You Out There Sale, as prime a way to roll from one year into the next as any.

Shop Huckberry’s year-end sale now through January 1st

If you’ve kept up with the blog as of late, you’ll have found that via the Huckberry See You Out There Sale, there’s little that’s not up for grabs at a discount, particularly in matters of winter style (not to mention the perfect blend of cozy comfort and dashing good looks).

There are discounts aplenty on brands that aren’t for sale all that often via Huckberry, but we’ll set our sights on the fan-favorite offerings from Relwen today, a military and heritage-inspired brand with an utterly classic outlook on, well, the classics.

Ohio-based Relwen makes razor-sharp chinos, soft yet rugged flannel shirts, lined flannel shirt jackets and even some cool-as-can-be long-sleeve polos, as well as the famed Relwen Trap Blazer — it’s a streamlined, grab-and-go selection that blends the fierce determination of an old-school hunting jacket with the effortless modern cool of a lightweight blazer, and the Relwen Sweatshirt Trap Blazer goes a step further in matters of everyday comfort, fashion and reliability.

As Huckberry sagely notes, the Relwen Sweatshirt Trap Blazer is “structured like a blazer, soft like a sweatshirt,” this time using a jacquard knit fabric with a smooth interior backing that’s been woven into an utterly soft, stretchy and wildly comfortable take on the classic blazer.

Best winter blazer for men.

The same hallmarks of the modern icon that is the Relwen Trap Blazer remain, like its natural-shouldered build and four-button front finished off with a handy and just-plain-cool throat latch button for added protection from the elements.

Patch front pockets help this casually rugged jacket feel like a patch-pocket blazer, while the utterly soft jersey construction means it feels and wears more like a sweatshirt, which is a major bonus in my book.

So if you’re searching for a more laidback blazer you can throw on over a contrasing T-shirt, a henley or a more rugged chambray shirt with dark blue jeans, then the Relwen Sweatshirt Trap Blazer is your next menswear ace-in-the-hole.

And of course, via the Huckberry See You Out There Sale, it’s on sale now for about 30 percent off. The time is plenty ripe to take stock of new and old menswear favorites: Ensure this handsome men’s blazer is among them this winter.
