The Tuesday Steal: Save 30 Percent On This Elegant Cardigan from The Tie Bar

Best cardigans for men.

There’s a rarified air to some of the best style staples of the fall season, the type of pieces we talk about consistently here on this Brooklyn style blog — take the easygoing elegance and versatility of one of the best cardigans for men.

The cardigan, as we’ve talked about many a time on this menswear blog, is a throwback piece that’s had its moment in the sun as preppy pieces of all shades and varieties have come back around in the fashion cycle.

And although they’re perhaps best known for making wildly affordable neckwear and tailoring accessories, don’t sleep on the rest of the lineup at The Tie Bar — from crisp dress shirts to the Tie Bar Leisure Merino Cardigan shown above.

The brand has excelled in recent years at making the sort of style moves perfectly complemented by the right tie — so, crisp white dress shirts and surprisingly soft and affordable men’s sweaters and trousers are also on the menu. And today, the Tie Bar Sale section is primetime for stylish savings.

The Tie Bar Leisure Merino Cardigan takes some of the best of the best when it comes to fiber and fabrication — that’d be merino wool, which is naturally temperature-regulating and moisture-wicking, keeping you comfortable yet warm when needed, whether worn over a classic Oxford shirt or a slightly more rugged chambray dress shirt. Of course, you can also use a pick like the Tie Bar Leisure Merino Cardigan to replace a blazer when paired with wool dress trousers or rust-hued stretch chinos this fall season.

In a crisp and versatile shade of Navy — and especially when marked down to 30 percent off right now — the Tie Bar Leisure Merino Cardigan becomes a downright steal of a stylish sweater. Textured vertical ribbing up the body of this handsome sweater is offset by a horizontal ribbed placket for a touch of added design detailing (note that The Tie Bar also sells more burly shawl cardigans as well, if that’s more your speed).

The brand says this easygoing-yet-sharp sweater is defined by the “refined comfort of premium Merino wool,” and for a price that’s just a shade above $60 on sale, that’s more than good enough in my book. Layer up right now with the discounted excellence of the Tie Bar Leisure Merino Cardigan.

As a well-dressed modern man (like yourself) surveys the ever-more casual men’s style landscape, maybe you’ve realized that the right pair of jeans — a crisply designed, well-fitting, utterly stylish and versatile pair — can work for plenty of style situations, even ones where a more polished look might have worked (looking at you, old-school office dress code).

So, it’s clear that you need a pair of the best jeans for men, or at least one or two new pairs, and quick. What’s a guy to do? Head to Bonobos, purveyors of some of the best men’s pants (and best affordable menswear, period), and revel in what I like to call the perfect blend of style and savings from the long-running menswear purveyor.

To be more specific, the famed Bonobos Travel Jeans — the ideal blend of stretch, comfort and sharp looks — are now 25 percent off for a limited time with the code ROADTRIP. That’s right: Save 25 percent on a wide range of Bonobos Travel Jeans by using the code ROADTRIP, my friends.

There’s much to love about these jeans, which stand apart from the rest of the Bonobos lineup thanks to their innovative use of stretch (94 percent cotton and a 6 percent blend of polyester and elastane).

And while Bonobos also makes jeans from premium Italian denim, these offer the most stretch of any pair of Bonobos men’s jeans on the market. Like other expertly designed pants, the Bonobos Travel Jeans feature a range of classic yet eye-catching colors that go well beyond just standard dark blue jeans (although those are also a wise selection for your daily style rotation).

And when it comes to the jeans themselves, they boast all the timeless notes you expect from sturdy denim, including contrasting rivets, a back logo patch and that trademark, high-quality Bonobos fit, at least in my experience.

Seven colors of the Bonobos Travel Jeans are up for grabs at the moment, with some sizes extending up to 44, to go along with five inseam options and five fit varieties (ranging from Slim Taper to Straight).

The Tuesday Steal: This Flint and Tinder Western Shirt is Nearly 50 Percent Off at Huckberry

It can feel dizzying at times to sort through the array of on-sale gear up for grabs rolling into a new season — what’s a guy to do as you look to refresh your wardrobe ahead of fall? The answer, my friends, is a simple one, and one that we talk about often here on this Brooklyn style blog: Head over to Huckberry, purveyors of some of the best Americana gear for men, including a style of shirt that’s having quite the moment.

Shop new style favorites now at Huckberry

That would be the Western shirt, an ode to the Great American West and its utterly functional, classically rugged roots. The Flint and Tinder Bone Button Western Shirt gets all those details correct as far as an homage to the past is concerned, yet it does so in modern fashion — and if you don’t yet have a stylish Western shirt in your rotation, then there’s never been a better time to buy one that’s on sale right now at Huckberry, my friends.

Best men's shirts for fall.

The Western shirt, especially the Flint and Tinder Bone Button Western Shirt, is a style swerve from your traditional Oxford shirt or even a chambray shirt, adorned with detailing like V-shaped flap chest patch pockets and a Western shoulder yoke. That gives it a more rugged appeal, particularly in colors like a faded blue denim or black.

But you’ll notice it’s the Indigo Dot version of the Flint and Tinder Bone Button Western Shirt that’s up for grabs right now via the always well-stocked Huckberry Sale section, and this twist on a classic manages to make it feel just a bit more like a casual buttondown shirt you’d wear untucked with tan chinos.

Best Western shirts for men.

What’s most important to note right now about potentially your new favorite everyday buttondown shirt is the fact that it’s on sale right now for about 50 percent off: If you haven’t yet tried out a denim shirt, now might be an ideal time to start. And the great news is, you can style the Flint and Tinder Bone Button Western Shirt largely as you might a traditional chambray shirt: Try this one with dark blue indigo denim or even black jeans and tan suede chukka boots (yes, navy and black can be worn together casually, my friends!).

For 50 percent off, there’s hardly a better deal on a Western shirt at the moment than the one being offered up by Huckberry on the Flint and Tinder Bone Button Western Shirt — that’s a guarantee this season, folks.

The Tuesday Steal: Save 20 Percent On These Essential Fall Jeans From Bonobos

Best blue jeans for men to buy now.

We talk often on this Brooklyn style blog about the tools and tricks of the trade, about the right gear for the task at hand — clothing you can wear day in and day out, virtually regardless of season.

In my experience, the best jeans for men (although tricky at times to wear in the summer months!) belong in any toolbox (or wardrobe, rather) of menswear must-haves.

Add in denim made with expert attention to detail in terms of fit and fabric, and you’re looking at a near-indispensable offering — especially as far as pairs of the best jeans for men are concerned, my friends at Bonobos take the cake.

And while there’s plenty to sort through online at Bonobos, the famed NYC retailer — which is known for disrupting the way men’s pants fit, along with a series of handy innovations in the shopping experience — delivers a premium experience in both name and execution when it comes to the Bonobos Gramercy Premium Jeans.

Throw in the chance to find your new favorite pair of men’s denim — marked down 20 percent right now as head into fall — and you very well might be looking at a few new upgrades in the figurative jeans department heading into fall.

The Bonobos Gramercy Premium Jeans are available at a discount in three versatile yet more casual colors this season, including the lighter and fall tailgate-ready Midwood Blue shown above.

The Bonobos Gramercy Premium Jeans lean on premium organic cotton with a small amount of stretch, and all the proper hallmarks of some of the best-fitting jeans for men can be found in this particular pair.

That includes expertly crafted fabric, handsome details like contrast stitching and a leather back hip logo patch, and of course the proper fit for which Bonobos is known, my friends.

The Bonobos Gramercy Premium Jeans come in waist sizes up to 46, plus a whopping five fits to suit every body type. Complete with printed pockets — because it’s the details that really make the difference — these go-anywhere jeans are a prime, premium addition to any off-duty wardrobe, at least in my experience.

Custom rivets, a near-perfect fit and the casual construction to pair with henleys and jeans aplenty make them a surefire winner in my book: Shop and save on your new go-to blue jeans while there’s still time, folks.

The Tuesday Steal: These Rugged Hybrid Chelsea Boots from Huckberry & LUCA Belong In Your Closet

Best Chelsea boots for men.

Stepping from one season into the next can sometimes start, quite literally, with the proper first step as far as your footwear rotation is concerned — among a host of #menswear essentials, that is. And for bridging the gap between the end of August and the start of fall, I’d wager that a pair of the best Chelsea boots for men get the job done handsomely, especially a pair as designed and sold by the good folks at Huckberry. Yes indeed, for what lies ahead, the durable, rugged LUCA Terra Slip On Chelsea Sneaker Boots could be your best bet. Scroll on for more, my friends.

Save the heavy-duty work or snow boots for when temperatures really plummet — instead, opt for a pair with a hybrid design and rugged utility, like the LUCA Terra Slip On Chelsea Sneaker Boots. They’re the best of both worlds, they’re designed and sold by a standout in-house brand at Huckberry, and they’re on sale right now — how can it get better than that? Let’s count the ways, my friends.

The hard-working, hard-wearing LUCA Terra Slip On Chelsea Sneaker Boots do exactly as they say, blending the supple nature of a full-grain leather or suede Italian upper with a cupsole sneaker outsole for plenty of springy rebound and comfort.

The LUCA Terra Slip On Chelsea Sneaker Boots also boast cushioned removable insoles and a leather lining that should mold to your foot over time, whether you wear these handsome leather sneaker boots with expertly faded blue jeans, with olive chinos or with grey canvas work pants.

The LUCA Terra Slip On Chelsea Sneaker Boots also feature front and back pull tabs for easy-on, easy-off access, while the cupsole base contrasts nicely with the leather upper. Huckberry notes these pull-on boots feature a versatile silhouette made to be worn with a variety of outfits — I’d even go so far as to wear these with dark blue jeans, a light blue chambray shirt and a navy stretch cotton blazer for a mix of high-low, business casual style.

It doesn’t hurt that the LUCA Terra Slip On Chelsea Sneaker Boots are on sale right now through Huckberry in sizes up to 13 and in four crisp, easy-to-style combinations of leather or suede. With supreme comfort top of mind and a polished silhouette you can dress up or dress down, these could just be the most dependable boots in your early fall footwear rotation — take the LUCA Terra Slip On Chelsea Sneaker Boots for a spin and let me know how they treat you.

The Tuesday Steal: This Reliable Everyday Shirt from Relwen and Huckberry Is On Sale Right Now

Best buttondown shirts for men

Every so often as I scour the market for the best men’s style essentials, I come across a piece so near-perfect, so downright essential, it’s a wonder I didn’t have it in my wardrobe before.

You might consider these menswear essentials the sort of dependable workhorse you can trust in many a style situation, be it the best blue jeans or the right buttondown shirt.

And that’s where the best Oxford shirts for men, as we’ve discussed plenty frequently as of late, fit the bill quite nicely for days at the office, for crisply dressed date nights and also for an evening Old Fashioned after a long day in the field (literally and figuratively). And with its versatile cut, durable fabric and classically stylish good looks, the Relwen Yarn Dyed Poplin Shirt checks off those boxes handily, as I tend to say often.

With its ultra-lightweight and easy-to-layer cotton poplin fabric, this handsome shirt boasts all the classic styling details you could want. That hods doubly true if you happen to need a shirt you can wear untucked with dark blue jeans or tucked in beneath a navy stretch cotton blazer (dark tan chinos make for a timeless pairing with that look, I’ve found).

Shop the best men’s gear and menswear at Huckberry

And as luck and good fortune would have it, the Relwen Yarn Dyed Poplin Shirt just so happens to be marked down quite handily over at Huckberry at the moment — the brand is a longtime favorite of the retailer, after all, with its focus on modern updates to timeless styles, often inspired by prep menswear and the military.

What it all comes down to is that the Relwen Yarn Dyed Poplin Shirt is worth even more than its $100 price tag — while that might seem a steeper price to pay for a buttondown shirt, its reviews say that the quality, fit and fabric are downright impeccable (see for yourself at the product page for the Relwen Yarn Dyed Poplin Shirt).

And while only two shirt styles are available right now, both in varying shades of blue, this classically cool shirt comes in other colors with each new season — keep an eye out for what’s next when it comes to your new favorite buttondown shirt, and in the meantime, shop and save now at Huckberry.

The Tuesday Steal: This Line of Trade Madras Shirt is an On-Sale Style Steal to End Summer

Best madras shirt for men.

Summer’s last gasp, that sprint to the finish before Labor Day, still brings with it opportunities aplenty to style your favorite summer menswear essentials — and perhaps pick up a piece or two to keep handy when the time rolls around for a warm-weather getaway.

Preparation makes perfect, which is why I often scour the Bespoke Post Sale section for finds that work in the current season at hand, as well as future seasons — and that’s where the Americana-inspired designers at Line of Trade tend to come in handy with classics made modern, as you well know if you’ve read this New York menswear blog.

Find out more at Bespoke Post

The brand, originally started by Bespoke Post (and now also shoppable on its own Web site), takes throwback styles and updates them with better fits and fabrics, like the Line of Trade Wellfleet Madras Shirt. Madras is an iconic fabric with a history stretching back to India, one that eventually made its way into modern menswear as a New England prep style staple (as Bespoke Post so sagely notes).

You can now inject a bit of that style into your own late summer rotation with the Line of Trade Wellfleet Madras Shirt, and you can do it all for more than 50 percent off. That means certain colors and sizes of the Line of Trade Wellfleet Madras Shirt are selling mighty quickly at the moment, so take heed.

And yet, the good news is, Line of Trade menswear tends to be quite affordable in its own right, particularly if you scour the Bespoke Post Sale section for other in-season style staples made by Line of Trade. This stylish shirt was also part of a Bespoke Post subscription box offering earlier this season, as seen below, but this handsome madras shirt is all yours for the taking on its own right now — and from one of my favorite online menswear retailers, no less.

In the meantime, the yarn-dyed lightweight cotton of your new favorite summer buttondown shirt should prove plenty easygoing at the beach, at a BBQ or strolling the coastline — chino shorts and canvas sneakers or stylish leather boat shoes would prove worthy companions for this modern update to a timeless style.

If I were you, I’d jump at the chance to greet the end of summer in style with a fast-selling, easy-to-wear Line of Trade Wellfleet Madras Shirt.

Raglan-sleeve stitching increases mobility whether worn on its own, layered beneath a flannel shirt or styled beneath my favorite Triple Aught Design denim jacket.

The henley, with its ability to be customized to your liking via the button placket, is a mainstay in any wisely curated menswear rotation, if you ask me, and Triple Aught Design uses a lightweight waffle knit fabric for plenty of comfort and durability along the way.

This USA-made men’s henley has been carefully considered every step of the way, right down to seams designed for both ease of movement and minimal chafing. The rugged appeal of the Triple Aught Design Primer Cotton Henley (now 40 percent off!) has never been more clear — the company even uses a double-layer shoulder design for added cushioning as you haul gear, packs and more.

The Tuesday Steal: This Relwen Short-Sleeve Shirt is a Reliable Daily Style Move for Summer

It’s never too late to start retooling and revamping your warm-weather wardrobe, especially as we roll into what you truly might call the dog days of summer. In my experience, being prepared goes a long way in the world of men’s style essentials — having the right gear at hand in your closet, like one of the best men’s short-sleeve shirts for a dash of polish and comfort — is a must, is it not? And that’s where today’s must-buy style steal comes into play via our good friends at Huckberry and Relwen.

The Ohio-based, heritage-inspired brand draws on menswear looks from decades past, like the short-sleeve shirt your grandfather might have worn to the shop. This time though, the Relwen Highland Blues Short-Sleeve Shirt features a retooled fit, more modern fabric and crisp looks in every stitch — better still is the fact that it can be had for a downright steal in the always-evolving Huckberry Sale section.

That makes it a winner in my book, one you can wear well past Labor Day — and one you can even layer beneath a lightweight cotton sweater (like this one!) or even a more leisurely, stylish quarter-zip pullover on cool late summer and early fall evenings.

Don’t overlook the versatility of one of the best men’s short-sleeve shirts: The Relwen Highland Blues Short-Sleeve Shirt boasts a sturdy yet supple 100 percent cotton poplin twill build (in its Light Blue and White checked variation), along with details like a crisp buttondown collar and a chest pocket for a sense of casual style.
