Yes, that’s right: One of the best cardigans for men is a versatile entry into your winter knitwear rotation. Let’s count the ways, shall we? Your new favorite cardigan works quite well for more than a few pursuits, including lounging at home alongside merino wool joggers.

After all, if you’re going to invest in something as nice (and relatively pricey) as the Todd Snyder Cashmere Cardigan, you might as well make the most of it.

And in my book, this handsome cardigan assuredly qualifies as the ultimate “house sweater,” so to speak, but it goes well beyond that as far as the best men’s cashmere sweaters are concerned. For dressing up slightly for post-holiday affairs alongside dark blue jeans, or for going all-out with charcoal corduroy trousers and a crisp white dress shirt, then yes, the Todd Snyder Cashmere Cardigan works quite nicely, indeed.

Take what Todd Snyder has to say, calling this cardigan an “elevated take on sporty essentials,” with a mid-weight fit that layers easily over Oxford shirting, a chambray buttondown or a performance dress shirt in equal measure.

The Snyder Olive color is another signature of the designer that makes the Todd Snyder Cashmere Cardigan both winter-friendly and yet perfectly well-suited to spring and fall layering — again, you’re going to want to get the most out of this cardigan by rocking it in multiple seasons.

And of course, starting right this instant — after Christmas and before the New Year — the Todd Snyder Cashmere Cardigan is an elegant, easily wearable choice that feels like a great style “splurge” to make right now. If you agree, then you’re in luck. Happy shopping, my friends.

See Now, Buy Now: The Taylor Stitch Ledge Shirt is a Modern Winter Menswear Favorite

Best flannel shirts for men.

In my experience, there might not be a brand that makes a better, more stylish shirt for men than Taylor Stitch. A bold way to kick off today’s post (and a new, shortened) holiday week? Perhaps, but if ever you’ve tried on or tried out the Taylor Stitch Ledge Shirt, then you’re aware that it’s a heavy hitter, even among the best flannel shirts for men.

Shop menswear essentials at Taylor Stitch

You might call the Taylor Stitch Ledge Shirt an instant classic, but it’s been a personal favorite of mine in its many iterations over the years, the latest and greatest very much included. All the hallmarks of one of the best winter shirts for men are present, including soft-yet-sturdy organic cotton twill construction with a garment-washed finish.

That makes the Taylor Stitch Ledge Shirt as comfortable as any shirt in your rotation, particularly if you frequently love to wear, say, one of the best men’s flannel shirts in the colder months (guilty as charged).

The rich Olive Plaid version of this winter’s take on the Taylor Stitch Ledge Shirt is especially eye-catching, and a nice change of pace for your own shirting wardrobe aside from white Oxford shirts and even indigo denim shirts (again, guilty as charged).

The brand’s signature California collar frames the face nicely and even gives the Taylor Stitch Ledge Shirt some dressy appeal — at least, beneath a navy blazer with dark blue jeans for a business-casual sort of look.

U-shaped chest pockets give this shirt a sort of overshirt or shirt jacket-type of appeal, although the Taylor Stitch Ledge Shirt — available in useful chest sizing — is as wearable tucked in with a shawl collar cardigan as it is untucked alongside your favorite pair of black jeans.

For winter-ready versatility and style in spades, opt for a perfectly fitted edition of the Taylor Stitch Ledge Shirt, then be surprised (or rather, not surprised!) at how much wear you get out of it this season (and beyond).

See Now, Buy Now: This American-Made Waffle Henley from American Giant is the Cozy, Rugged Layer You Need

Best waffle henley for men to buy now.

When it comes time to really dial down and take on winter’s worst, it helps to go back to basics — back to sturdy staples, like the trusty waffle henley — that are meant for warmth and rugged appeal.

For example, take the humble and hard-working henley. Plenty of brands have taken their shot in recent years at making one of the best henleys for men, but very few are doing it quite like American Giant, especially when it comes to the American Giant Waffle Long-Sleeve Henley.

Learn more now at American Giant

The American-made menswear manufacturer has been crafting distinct, limited-edition runs of clothing beyond just the fan-favorite American Giant Classic Full-Zip Hoodie, and these “drops” are very much worth checking out, at least in my experience. The American Giant Waffle Long-Sleeve Henley is the latest among those limited-time selections, with all the utility you could ever want in a durable long-sleeve henley.

Those specs start with a blend of cotton and spandex for crucial comfort and stretch, while the thick waffle knit is ideal for use as a thermal base layer. Raglan sleeves amp up the mobility factor on the American Giant Waffle Long-Sleeve Henley, which comes in both a distinct Pageant Blue and an eye-catching, old-school shade of red.

Its metal buttons even boast an antique finish, another careful touch that elevates the American Giant Waffle Long-Sleeve Henley from the pack (perhaps another reason it’s selling so quickly at the moment). Your new favorite henley is sewn together, finishing touches and all in Los Angeles, another rarity in the menswear world these days, and it’s practically tailor-made for layering underneath a shirt jacket, a trucker jacket or even a shawl cardigan.

To say you’d do well to add the American-made, fast-selling American Giant Waffle Long-Sleeve Henley is an understatement right now, my friends. Shop accordingly this holiday season.

See Now, Buy Now: This Line of Trade Waxed Ranch Jacket Is one of the Best Winter Jackets for Your Wardrobe

Just when you thought you had your winter outerwear rotation squared away in fine form, one of the best new winter jackets rolls onto the scene to shake things up. It’s not just any old jacket — it’s a rugged trucker jacket from Bespoke Post and Line of Trade that should command your attention in frosty temperatures.

It could very well be one of the best trucker jackets on the market, a reliably durable and casual change of pace for when you want to swap out your winter parka for something with more mobility and more detail in mind.

The Line of Trade Waxed Ranch Jacket hits the nail on the head in that regard, neither sacrificing comfort nor warmth in the pursuit of seasonal style. And just ahead of the holiday season, this stylish trucker jacket for men could be a rather wise last-minute gift purchase — the specs, as you’ll see below, are on-point.

Best waxed trucker jackets for men.

Bespoke Post knows a thing or two about hidden gems and about timeless classics in your menswear wardrobe, and the Line of Trade Waxed Ranch Jacket qualifies in every which way. It’s built with 100 percent cotton on the exterior that’s then finished with a hard-wearing wax, the kind of fabrication that develops a handsome patina over time.

But in my experience, it’s really the heavyweight cotton plaid flannel lining that takes the Line of Trade Waxed Ranch Jacket up a notch (Think: A thicker lining than the Flint and Tinder Waxed Trucker Jacket, without overdoing it).

Oversized hip patch pockets and a classic pointed chest pocket drive home the ranch jacket detailing, while brass shank buttons offer maximum utility and dependability. Five color options, from Field Tan to Surplus Olive, provide style options for every taste, and it doesn’t hurt that the Line of Trade Waxed Ranch Jacket is priced more than fairly at $158.

While it’s certainly not as blizzard-ready as a thick parka, it can serve as a useful, stylish go-between for tailgates, days in the yard or the field, and evenings at your favorite dive bar — I know that’s where I’ll be wearing my Line of Trade Waxed Ranch Jacket, and I’d encourage you to do the same. Cheers to the season, my friends!

See Now, Buy Now: This Buck Mason Tweed Blazer is a Refined Take on a Classic

Best blazers for men.

For as much as a man’s wardrobe is about the everyday workhorses — the kind of pieces we talk so often about on this Brooklyn style blog — it’s also about the occasional indulgence (within reason, of course). Take the Buck Mason Shetland Tweed Countryman Blazer — it’s got all the trappings of one of the best blazers for men, with a bit of an added modern flair that updates a classic in fine form.

It’s also a particularly stylish swerve from a traditional selection for one of the best blazers for men, of course, and that’s also never a bad thing to have in your wardrobe in the heart of the holiday season. So, why the Buck Mason Shetland Tweed Countryman Blazer, and why now?

Well, my friends, I’m glad you asked. The holidays are an ideal time to step things up a notch in terms of dressing, with a greater focus on refinement and elegance — whether hosting, visiting friends or hitting the road.

And even when paired with some of your favorite pairs of jeans, a selection like the Buck Mason Shetland Tweed Countryman Blazer exudes another level of style: It’s got a tailored but not overly tight fit, while the Italian tweed fabric and classic pattern stand out handsomely via many an occasion.

Plus, details like flap patch pockets give your new favorite blazer a sort of rarified air — an easygoing touch that makes this handsome blazer more casual, but no less ready to pair with dark grey corduroy trousers and dark brown leather wingtip boots (a Buck Mason Oxford shirt would also fit the bill nicely here, my friends).

Shop men’s blazers and more at Buck Mason

Fittingly, the dress-up or dress-down nature of the Buck Mason Shetland Tweed Countryman Blazer gets a boost from its natural soft-shoulder design — the sort of look that makes many a made-in-Italy blazer look so elegant. And at the end of the day, the Buck Mason Shetland Tweed Countryman Blazer departs tastefully from the norm (for a price) without overdoing it – doesn’t that sound like the kind of piece that can take any holiday #OOTD from good to great, my friends?

Line of Trade Summit Flannel Shirt review.

If today’s headline made you do a double take, you’re likely not alone: We’re talking all about Line of Trade, but in a different capacity than before. You very likely recognize Line of Trade from the digital shelves of NYC retailer Bespoke Post, which trumpets small businesses, stylish subscription boxes of its own, and the coolest gear for men across the board.

That focus on American classics — from slinging T-shirts and flannel shirts to selling cool-as-heck valet trays, decanters and more — led the Bespoke Post team to form Line of Trade, and it’s now all grown up, so to speak.

You see, you can score rugged, classically cool menswear online right from the brand itself, a great excuse to revamp and re-up your winter wardrobe — starting with the Line of Trade Summit Flannel Shirt. Yes indeed, it’s great a time as any to get properly acquainted with the rugged, all-American retailer.

Line of Trade menswear review.

The company believes in menswear that’s built to last, not in chasing trends, and you can see that reflected right away in products like the Line of Trade Summit Flannel Shirt, plus a full lineup of best-sellers. Those best-selling menswear essentials include items like trucker jackets, sherpa jackets, heavyweight T-shirts and even a versatile pair of officer chinos modeled after old-school military pairs.

The great news is, the richly crafted Line of Trade Summit Flannel Shirt fits right in with each of those men’s style must-haves, especially in the cold climes of winter. The Line of Trade Summit Flannel Shirt, made from an exclusive pattern in super-soft, 100 percent cotton flannel, is a prized piece in my own wardrobe.

In one of several richly crafted patterns and colors, it’s got the ability to be worn on its own underneath a soft-shouldered blazer, or else atop a thermal henley. That pairing works well alongside, say, one of the brand’s waxed trucker jackets. It’s got a pleasing light weight to it — this isn’t a shirt jacket, but a flannel shirt you can layer comfortably beneath a hearty top layer.

A left chest patch pocket keeps things classic, while the length is perfect to wear untucked alongside your favorite pair of blue jeans (as I often do). If you’ve been hunting for a new favorite flannel shirt, one you can layer casually or dress up ever so slightly, and one that you can buy in bulk, so to speak, then I can confidently say the Line of Trade Summit Flannel Shirt is your best bet this week.

See Now, Buy Now: Take 60 Percent Off these Classic Everlane Jeans on Cyber Monday

Everlane men's jeans review.

It certainly is a crowded market out there when it comes to the best Cyber Monday deals for guys, with plenty of exceptional sales (thank you, Huckberry and Taylor Stitch!) up for the taking. But let’s dial things down ever so slightly.

We talked late last week about just a select few of the very best menswear deals for Black Friday, and here’s another one worthy of your consideration: When it comes to simple, stylish, well-made men’s basics — the kind of menswear you rely on every day, and the kind it can be nice to not overspend on — well, Everlane is perhaps your best bet at the moment (or one of them, at least).

And at a time when it seems some online shopping deals are really, well, not all that much of a deal, where else can you find a whopping 60 percent off on some of the best jeans for men (plus a host of other minimal, stylish and versatile essentials).

The sale includes a bit of everything, from dark blue jeans to Oxford shirts, T-shirts crisply designed sweaters and sweatshirts. But the best deal might be a sub-$50 pair of the Everlane 4-Way Stretch Organic Jeans, with organic cotton construction in a rich assortment of crisp, wear-with-anything washes.

In a positive sea of deals, it’s hard to find a great-fitting pair of men’s jeans under $50, but these certainly qualify. With the Everlane 4-Way Stretch Organic Jeans, you’ve got your pick of six different washes and a wide assortment of sizes, each as easy to wear with a T-shirt or a henley as they are to dress up ever so slightly with a chambray shirt for day-to-night style.

Shop daily style selections at Everlane

Plus, you can shop with confidence when it comes to the Everlane 4-Way Stretch Organic Jeans — the brand is transparent about where and how they’re made, and the end result is a pair of jeans that normally costs closer to $120.

Yet now, that same pair of everyday denim now costs you closer to $50, and you can wear ’em the rest of the holiday season and into the new year. Shop accordingly, save in style and test yourself out a new pair of the Everlane 4-Way Stretch Organic Jeans.

See Now, Buy Now: Add the Taylor Stitch Evans Crew to Your Casual Style Rotation this Winter

For as much as winter is about layering up with a bit of flair via one of the best sweaters for men — a shawl cardigan, a sweater polo or a sweater with some pattern and color, for instance — the basics and subtle style are also an important part of your wardrobe. Of course, you can get both from my friends at Taylor Stitch — more on that in just a moment.

Shop style essentials at Taylor Stitch

Simplicity is sometimes best, whether searching for a stylish sweater as a base layer or scouring the market for a sweater you can wear easily and casually at home or on the road. And my friends, in my experience the Taylor Stitch Evans Crewneck just gets the job done when it comes to minimal, crisp and versatile style for winter.

Taylor Stitch Evans Crewneck review.

Right off the bat, there’s the crewneck design — more casual and slightly more ready to wear with a wider variety of jeans in various washes than the traditional V-neck sweater. But the Taylor Stitch Evans Crewneck steps things up slightly (yet still simply) from a casual crewneck sweatshirt, thanks to the wool-polyester-nylon blend.

Plus, the crewneck design features a heavyweight rib for some structure — with the Taylor Stitch Evans Crewneck, it certainly doesn’t look like you’re just wearing an easygoing long-sleeve tee. And then, there’s the texture — again, subtle and eye-catching but no less suitable for wearing on its own with dark blue jeans or underneath a waxed trucker jacket.

It’s sturdy, it’s useful for travel as a base layer, and it’s suitable to wear as you play host to friends for a holiday whiskey tasting or gift exchange (two of my favorite things!). When it’s straightforward yet polished style you seek, rock the Taylor Stitch Evans Crewneck alongside dark denim — it’s an unbeatable combo for a crisp-yet-laidback look.

See Now, Buy Now: The Taylor Stitch Mariner Coat Is a Hard-Working Fall and Winter Classic

Best winter peacoat for men.

In my personal experience scouring the market for the best winter style essentials for men, I find that the classics, as I often say, are the classics for a reason. That goes for style staples like the tried-and-true henley, the blue jean, the leather lace-up work boot and more, of course — as well as for one of the best peacoats for men.

And luckily for us all, the fine folks at Taylor Stitch are once again making a standout example of this iconic piece, a silhouette that’s got decades of history in every stitch.

The peacoat, with its sturdy wool build, was trusted by seafaring men and naval officers in brisk, frigid conditions, and the best men’s peacoats to this day hold up admirably — like the aptly named Taylor Stitch Mariner Coat, of course.

Part of the brand’s new coastal and adventure-inspired Treadwell Collection, your new favorite peacoat arrives not a moment too soon for late fall and early winter layering.

The Taylor Stitch Mariner Coat is built with uncompromising quality top of mind, as I’ve found with most sturdy, strong Taylor Stitch men’s jackets and coats (and flannel shirting, but that’s another blog post for another time.

A blend of strong yet flexible 19-oz. 72% wool and 28% nylon gives this jacket warmth, structure and wearability, especially considering the fact that the body is lined in organic cotton chambray.

Taylor Stitch Mariner Coat review.

The wool exterior of the Taylor Stitch Mariner Coat should prove plenty warmth when winter winds and snow hit, while the wool blend is burly enough to take on snow without weighing you down or getting wet (a prized feature of some of the best jackets for men, of course). The Taylor Stitch Mariner Coat boasts a classic six-button front and double-breasted design, with an oversized collar made to be turned up at the wind.

Shop Taylor Stitch seasonal menswear

Designed to hit below the hip (but not quite long enough to cover most blazers or suit jackets), the Taylor Stitch Mariner Coat checks all the right boxes as far as a casually rugged yet still elegant coat is concerned.

It’s a surefire layering staple atop chambray shirting, fisherman sweaters and flannel shirts, and it’s a reliable choice to finish off many an outfit, including ones featuring leather dress boots and tobacco-hued chinos.

Yes, the classics are the classics for a reason, and the Taylor Stitch Mariner Coat hits on all the right notes to be considered one now — and in the future.
