Just the kind of trusty fall layer you’re going to want to throw on for weekend after weekend this fall. Read on for more.

Can you feel the weather starting to turn ever so slightly? If only by a few degrees? That’s where today’s fall style essentials are going to come in mighty handy, my friends. It’s perhaps the best season for menswear, as I always say, for a distinct reason. Think rich colors and textures, plus plenty of layering potential. Hence, the Jungmaven Baja Long-Sleeve Pocket Tee you see at the top of the page. It’s but one of the many transitional style essentials you’ll love wearing. Read on for more in this week’s edition of The List, and stop by The Style Guide Facebook page for plenty more.

Jungmaven Baja Long-Sleeve Pocket Tee — $49.98

This tee has the potential to be a new favorite layer.

We should all be thinking about essential fall layers, the type of casual long-sleeve shirt that you can wear on its own or beneath a shirt-jacket or your favorite chambray shirt. Thus, I give you the Jungmaven Baja Long-Sleeve Pocket Tee.

Ursa Major Traveler Kit — $41

Dependable essentials for the road, at an affordable price.

Let’s kick things off with some men’s grooming essentials — staying sharp and keeping your skin refreshed on the road is crucial, and the Ursa Major Traveler Kit is the way to go.

A classic chambray shirt from an affordable brand.

A slim and stylish chambray shirt for under $40? Old Navy has outdone themselves heading into fall. Wear this with everything from dark denim and black high-tops to canvas work pants and your favorite leather boots (Side note: Head here for more ideas on how to wear a chambray shirt this fall!).
Converse Chuck Taylor All-Star High-Tops — $55

An icon of menswear, and perhaps the perfect sneakers to wear to head into early fall.

Speaking of black high-tops … stick with the best from a legendary brand. Wearable with everything from dark denim and a classic Oxford shirt to an easygoing white slub tee and skinny black jeans at your next rock concert.
North & Mark Bryant Jacket — $189.98

The ideal merger of style and function in terms of an excellent fall jacket. Nothing else to it.

The Upton Trousers from Finisterre strike the right balance between rugged and versatile, perfect for plenty of fall adventures (think a farmer’s market trip followed by a park hike followed by beers  — sounds good, right?).

Astorflex Greenflex in Dark Khaki — $133.98

Perhaps the best chukka boots you’ll buy this season.

It seems I recommend classic chukka boots from Astorflex on the regular — and I find myself wearing my own pair plenty — but there’s a darn good reason for that. They’re stylish, they’re low-key, they go with everything … the list goes on! See for yourself (wink, wink).

That’s going to bring the curtain down on this week’s edition of The List — which of the above picks are going in your shopping cart? I’m all about the North and Mark Bryant Jacket, a perfectly versatile, casual fall jacket. Thanks for reading!
