Style Pick of the Week: Wolverine 1000 Mile Roughout Boots – Coolest Fall Boots for Men

When the calendar rolls through fall, that means one thing — if you ask me, at least, that means it’s time to lace up a pair of the most rugged boots for men. And for this Michigan native, that means you need to turn to Wolverine, a longtime favorite and a legendary boot brand. They now do everything from craft the coolest men’s sneakers to, well, the best men’s boots.

There are plenty of different editions of the Wolverine 1000 Mile Boots, including the Wolverine 1000 Mile Moc Toe Boots, but right now, the Wolverine 1000 Mile Roughout Boots are the pair to get in your closet and on your feet ASAP. Crucially, the Wolverine 1000 Mile Roughout Boots are based on the brand’s archival 1914 silhouette, with the modern-day, dependable specs to match (keep scrolling).

As if that wasn’t classic enough, the Wolverine 1000 Mile Roughout Boots feature the brand’s carefully crafted outsole with both Vibram technology and a leather heel. Speaking of leather: The impossibly cool Wolverine 1000 Mile Roughout Boots use rich, textured roughout leather that’s been waxed to bolster its character and good looks.

If you want a pair of stylish men’s boots designed to get better with age, the Wolverine 1000 Mile Roughout Boots should be your next seasonal go-to.

Better still is the fact that these boots are handmade in the U.S.A, yet the price is much more than agreeable — the Wolverine 1000 Mile Roughout Boots will run you $385, a downright steal when you consider the fact that you can wear them day in and day out in casually rugged style situations from fall to winter.

For starters, pair them with your favorite flannel shirt and the best men’s blue jeans, then keep your season rolling the right way. When the calendar hits October, yessir, go with the Wolverine 1000 Mile Roughout Boots.

Style Pick of the Week: Todd Snyder Guide Shirt – Fall’s Most Refined Shirt Jacket

If ever you were looking to strike the right balance between rugged and refined, there’s no time like fall to really take care of business with the best men’s style essentials. And for my money’s worth — as you know if you scour The Style Guide for the best fall style picks on the daily, few designers do that better than Todd Snyder. The Iowa-born designer takes the classics and upgrades them in ways that make them work in both NYC and back in the Midwest, as with the handsome, well-made Todd Snyder Guide Shirt.

It’s the perfect example of the, well, rugged-meets-refined look championed by the brand, and that makes the Todd Snyder Guide Shirt a unique addition to your fall and winter layering. The key is the soft-yet-dependable blend of virgin wool, acrylic, polyester and other fibers (for comfort and stretch) into one seriously cool, stylish fall shirt meant to be layered up as one of the best men’s shirt jackets. And folks, your new favorite fall shirt jacket only gets better from there.

The Todd Snyder Guide Shirt also boasts retro elbow patches for a neat and distinctive touch — this rugged men’s shirt jacket is less refined than one of the best fall blazers, to be sure, but no less ready for unique layering. That means you can style your new favorite shirt jacket atop a rugged men’s henley as readily as you can use it as another layer atop one of the best men’s Oxford shirts.

It’s cut with a more full fit for fall and winter layering, too. Plus, color options like a rich Blue-Brown Plaid or the fall-friendly Mustard Multi-Plaid certainly give you options. Beware that this Todd Snyder shirt clocks in at a pricey $268, but as with other Todd Snyder menswear essentials, I’m betting that higher price tag will pay off in spades.

Style Pick of the Week: Flint and Tinder Waxed Hudson Jacket – Fall’s Coolest New Jacket

Isn’t it a thing of wonder when one of your favorite brands gives you plenty of options when it comes to the best fall jackets for men, for instance? That’s certainly the case with the good folks at Flint and Tinder, the brainchild behind one of the best online menswear shops — that’s Huckberry, of course. The company specializes in rugged, versatile, utterly timeless gear, and for my money’s worth, the Flint and Tinder Waxed Hudson Jacket is just the latest standout style move from the much-loved in-house brand.

Of course, I’m willing to bet you know Flint and Tinder through its most famous product – – that’d be the Flint and Tinder Flannel-Lined Waxed Trucker Jacket, what with its durable construction and hard-wearing design. Of course, the Flint and Tinder Waxed Hudson Jacket is a star in its own right, with detailing and a build that makes it one of the best men’s jackets for fall (quite handily, at that). In fact, take it from me: I’ve had the chance to review this Huckberry jacket, and can vouch for its quality, style and sturdy durability.

This expertly cut, perfectly rugged piece of outerwear has the potential to become your new favorite fall jacket, what with its hunting coat-inspired design and a plethora of touches that make it insanely cool and insanely comfortable. For starters, the Flint and Tinder Waxed Hudson Jacket offers more coverage than the Flint and Tinder Flannel-Lined Waxed Trucker Jacket, which is useful when inclement weather hits.

This sturdy fall jacket is crafted from British Millerain waxed canvas that’s been treated for additional weather resistance, and the flannel lining of the Flint and Tinder Waxed Hudson Jacket is a brilliant addition to a casually rugged jacket that’s ready for just about anything.

It even features a rear game pocket, in addition to front hip button pockets and an interior chest pocket, all the better to secure your everyday carry essentials. For good measure, the Flint and Tinder Waxed Hudson Jacket comes in a range of pleasantly fall-like colors, so you can style it with plenty of other Flint and Tinder essentials. When your fall wardrobe requires a rugged change of pace, you know just the brand to shop right now.

Style Pick of the Week: Frye Tyler Chelsea Boots – Best Men’s Chelsea Boots for Fall

Among any list of the best fall style essentials — be it one of the best fall blazers or your new go-to henley — you’d also do well to consider some of the most rugged men’s boots, right? But there’s a fine line to walk, literally, if you want to maximize your versatility. While there’s a time and a place for hard-wearing work boots, you can still get fall-minded performance and style with *drumroll please* a pair of the best men’s Chelsea boots. In fact, at the current moment, there might not be a better pair of men’s boots for fall on the market than the FRYE Tyler Chelsea Boots.

You’ve hopefully encountered the brand through its penchant for making some of the best leather boots, period, but the American heritage footwear company continues to step up its game with timeless styles like the easy-on, easy-off Chelsea boot. It all starts, of course, with quality leather when it comes to the FRYE Tyler Chelsea Boots, and in this case, we’re talking a rich Cognac leather that wears well with plenty of fall style picks (everything from dark blue jeans to black denim to olive chinos).

The FRYE Tyler Chelsea Boots — which are selling somewhat fast despite a more investment-minded price tag of $328 at FRYE — also sit atop a sturdy leather outsole for traction on slick fall streets and through day-to-night pursuits (anyone up for a park stroll and brewery visit?). Better still, the FRYE Tyler Chelsea Boots are designed for a smooth ride, thanks to the injection of a rubber forepart in the leather outsole.

The end result is a pair of sleek yet hard-wearing boots, the kind you can team with wool trousers, stretch cotton chinos or your favorite pair of blue jeans without missing a beat. On your top half, go with rugged picks like one of the best men’s henleys or keep things a touch more refined with a cool cotton blazer. Either way, be sure to get as much wear as possible out of the FRYE Tyler Chelsea Boots, because they can take it.
