The Thursday Buy: This Todd Snyder Western Shirt is an Elevated Take on a Stylish Classic

Best Western shirts for men.

The idea behind building a wardrobe full of versatile men’s style essentials is a constant pursuit, is it not? I’ve found, in my experience, that having your building blocks in place — pieces you can wear every single day, in various combinations — makes it a lot easier to adapt to selections that are a slight swerve from the norm. Big-time stuff, yes?

Luckily for all of us here at this Brooklyn style blog, I’ve found that Todd Snyder takes on both sides of the coin more than stylishly — both the classics and those “slight swerves” from the norm.

Take, for example, one of the best Western shirts for men. It’s a departure from a classic Oxford shirt for men or even a chambray shirt, but when a designer like the award-winning Todd Snyder puts his own spin on it, you can certainly trust that you’re getting the best of the best — in terms of quality, style and versatility. Again, big-time stuff, yes?

And that’s what makes the Todd Snyder + Hamilton Twill Western Shirt an outstanding wardrobe addition: It takes the familiar, like that of a rugged Western shirt, then gives it a refined spin by way of both one of the country’s best menswear designers (Todd Snyder) and the longtime maker of some of the best dress shirts for men (that’d be Hamilton, a longtime favorite of the Iowa-born designer).

Details both classic and modern are accounted for when it comes to the Todd Snyder + Hamilton Twill Western Shirt, including USA-made, 100 percent cotton twill construction in a rich, wear-with-nearly-anything shade of olive. It also features snap buttons and back yoke detailing, like you’d find on other options when it comes to the best Western shirts for guys, yet the Todd Snyder + Hamilton Twill Western Shirt is updated with crisp dress shirt cuffs.

Could you go so far as to wear the Todd Snyder + Hamilton Twill Western Shirt underneath a soft-shouldered Italian blazer from the legendary designer? You certainly could, but your new favorite Western shirt might be just as at home with black denim and tan leather boots (among other combinations).

Take a swing at something a bit different from the norm, and be sure to thank me later (ha, kidding!). Cheers to the unexpected, my friends.

The Tuesday Steal: Save Big on Comfortable Sportswear from the Legendary Todd Snyder x Champion Line

Todd Snyder x Champion review.

In my experience, it can be a wise move in the menswear world — as you build out and refine your rotation of the best men’s style essentials — to keep certain goals in mind, or to have a vision for where your wardrobe and your style might be headed.

And for years, it was my goal to add some ultra-stylish Todd Snyder menswear to my closet — consider that goal accomplished, at least at a glance (there are still some pieces from the award-winning designer that remain investment-level).

If you’ve been following me on Instagram for years, that journey started with some of the finest heritage-inspired sportswear on the planet by way of the Todd Snyder x Champion lineup.

The Iowa-born designer took the classic hoodie and the classic crewneck sweatshirt, revamped them with his own touches and his own eye for design, and created a timeless-meets-modern lineup involving some of the best sweatshirts for men (and more). And so, here we find ourselves all these years later (remember, this blog started back in August of 2013!).

The Tuesday Steal: This Todd Snyder Sportcoat is A True Style Find — at the Right Price

Best sportcoats for men to buy in 2025.

When you slip into a truly well-made menswear staple piece, like a carefully crafted, luxurious (yes, luxurious) edition of one of the best sportcoats for men, the difference is immediate, noticeable and certainly stylish. But what’s a well-dressed man to do when the chance to shop those sorts of pieces is often fleeting, and perhaps expensive? Todd Snyder is here with an answer, my friends.

The answer: Keep a close eye out for the best menswear deals, and recognize when a selection like the Todd Snyder Flannel Sutton Jacket goes on sale. It’s not a true bargain bin discount from perhaps the best menswear designer in the country, but it’s as close as possible these days — at 30 percent off, the Todd Snyder Flannel Sutton Jacket is both a style and a wise sort of splurge (but not a full-price splurge!) if you want to upgrade your casual tailoring.

You see, the Todd Snyder Flannel Sutton Jacket is built with all the hallmarks of one of the best winter blazers for men, with 100% Virgin Wool craftsmanship for an ultra-soft finish. Further classic details, like timeless notch lapels in a width that’s right, cement this piece as a modern update of the classic grey flannel suit.

The jacket boasts a butterfly lining (look at the inside of the jacket’s back, while its sleeves are also lined — that way, your dress shirt sleeves won’t snag or bunch as you slide on the Todd Snyder Flannel Sutton Jacket. It also features double vents, so it’s a formal spin on the blazer, which sometimes features a single vent.

Perhaps the best part about the crisply cut Todd Snyder Flannel Sutton Jacket – which is available now for 30 percent off in a wide range of sizes — is the fact that you can pair this jacket with its matching Todd Snyder Sutton suit pants, or else style it with seasonal favorites, like olive chinos or burgundy corduroys.

I myself would also feel comfortable wearing the Todd Snyder Flannel Sutton Jacket with dark blue jeans for a dash of high-low style, but when in doubt, stick to pairing this handsome suit jacket with formal trousers in shades like navy, rust, olive or tan. Oh, and make special note of the fact that the Todd Snyder Flannel Sutton Jacket is only on sale for a limited time at 30 percent off — the rest of the season is as stylish as it gets, my friends.

Best cardigan sweaters for men.

If you’ve been keeping up with this Brooklyn style blog over the years, you very well might notice that some things have stayed consistent: A love of the best chambray shirts, classics like blue jeans and of course, staples like rugged leather boots.

But what about the erstwhile cardigan — one of the best sweaters for men, in my opinion, and one made to great fanfare (and quality) by one of the country’s best menswear designers, Todd Snyder. Yes indeed, what do you make of this style, my friends?

Even the most classic cardigan can look a touch trendy for some — or even a touch too retro or stuffy — but there’s no doubt (in my experience) that the Todd Snyder Organic Cotton Cardigan is a picture-perfect example of the style if you want to switch up your rotation of the best men’s sweaters.

Best sweaters for men.

The Todd Snyder Organic Cotton Cardigan gets the details correct in terms of casually cool style — the ribbed texture gives it a dash of visual interest and appeal, while cardigans made from fibers like cashmere might be more refined.

A contrasting placket also adds a dash of intrigue — the Todd Snyder Organic Cotton Cardigan is a crisply cut sweater that’s as at home over a stretch dress shirt as it is atop a T-shirt or a long-sleeve waffle henley.

The Todd Snyder Organic Cotton Cardigan is part of the perfect mix of high-low style: Try it underneath a blazer (but atop a T-shirt in a solid color), or else style yours with the aforementioned dress shirt, a knit tie and chinos at the office.

The Todd Snyder Organic Cotton Cardigan is even fashioned with raglan sleeves for a further shot of contrast and a flattering fit — this luxurious sweater is pricier than other sweaters in your rotation, but worth your hard-earned cash all the same, particularly given its versatile color. As the brand says, your new favorite sweater is here, and it might just be the Todd Snyder Organic Cotton Cardigan

See Now, Buy Now: This Elegant Todd Snyder Sport Coat is Ideal for Sharp Holiday Dressing

Best blazer for men.

Holiday dressing comes with its own set of merriment and enjoyment — the most wonderful time of the year can indeed be a blast, especially if you happen to be dressed to the nines and ready to put your best foot forward.

And sometimes, putting your best foot forward in terms of men’s style essentials means stepping things up and opting for an investment-level essential from one of the best menswear designers in America, like Todd Snyder himself.

Take the men’s blazer, for instance. It can become a wardrobe workhorse this time of year if you select the right one, a style that’s easily wearable with everything from dark blue denim and leather chukka boots to tailored chinos and your best Chelsea boots.

And the Todd Snyder Italian Wool Sport Coat fits the bill handsomely this season (and beyond), with elegant wool herringbone fabrication that falls perfectly in line with winter weather.

Boasting a tailored fit that forgoes traditional shoulder padding, this soft-shouldered jacket uses Italian tailoring cues for an impossibly cool fit and feel. The Todd Snyder Italian Wool Sport Coat boasts classic details like a double-vented back to go along with that eye-catching yet subtle herringbone pattern.

And in the right shade of blue, like this one, the Todd Snyder Italian Wool Sport Coat pairs seamlessly with dark burgundy corduroy trousers, tobacco chinos or grey flannel suit pants for all your sartorial needs this season.

On that note: I’d wager you’ll want to wear the Todd Snyder Italian Wool Sport Coat as often as possible this season, given the price tag (the Todd Snyder Italian Wool Sport Coat is $698 at Todd Snyder).

But when you consider the possibility that you can practically put together a week’s worth of outfit combinations thanks to its versatility — not to mention a series of eye-catching holiday party ensembles — it’s clear that the Todd Snyder Italian Wool Sport Coat is worth the investment. Try it on for size this season and let me know what you think.

Style Pick of the Week: Todd Snyder Donegal Crewneck Sweater – An Expert Layer for Brisk Autumn Days

I often find that tried-and-true, trusty menswear style staples present some of the best options for getting dressed this fall and winter — like a hard-wearing, effortlessly cool Donegal crewneck sweater. A sweater not unlike the Todd Snyder Donegal Crewneck Sweater seen above, in fact.

It’s part of a slew of timeless style classics offered by the award-winning designer, the kind that tend to look great season after season. Although the designer is getting back into the world of runway shows, it’s the iconic pieces that get the most legwork, and the Todd Snyder Donegal Crewneck Sweater fits the bill in that regard.

Best winter sweaters for men.

A blend of wool, nylon and viscose provides structure, shape and warmth, and Donegal texture lends your layered winter look a touch of visual appeal and style (the designer calls it a “certain tweedy sophistication”). The result is a sweater you can layer over a crisp Oxford shirt as easily as you can wear it on its own atop a thermal tee and your favorite faded stretch jeans on a brisk autumn or winter morning.

Helpfully (at least in my book), the Todd Snyder Donegal Crewneck Sweater has a kind of rugged-meets-refined look — this is a handsome sweater you could easily layer underneath a waxed field coat or the famed Flint and Tinder Trucker Jacket.

And on the more refined side of the equation, you could team the Todd Snyder Donegal Crewneck Sweater with a tweed blazer and corduroy pants for properly elegant-yet-preppy seasonal style. A range of fall and winter-friendly colors, like Cranberry, give this sweater a handsome, stylish touch.

Plus, the ribbed crewneck design is a classic touch that a dapper writer like Hemingway (or, dare I say, myself) might appreciate. It’s a worthwhile investment crafted from warm, high-quality fabric, and it’ll stand the test of time, as with all Todd Snyder menswear essentials — find out for yourself in time for winter layering, my friends.

The Tuesday Steal: Save on these Dependable Blundstone Boots Right Now Through Todd Snyder

Blundstone men's boots review.

I don’t know about you, but I frequently find myself reaching for men’s style essentials I can count on in the clutch, the sort of pieces I can reliably wear over and over — especially in casually rugged situations, as with my Blundstone boots. The same can be said for American designer Todd Snyder’s collections, and the two come together nicely today on this fine Tuesday.

As wearable with dark blue or mid-wash blue jeans as they are with the right pair of canvas work pants or even stretch five-pocket pants, my Blundstone 558 Chelsea Boots might just be my go-to pair of footwear, the pair I wear more than any other.

If you feel the same way, and if your particular pair could use a refresh this fall, then you’re going to want to keep scrolling: The Blundstone 558 Chelsea Boots are now up for a rather rare discount via Todd Snyder. It makes perfect sense that the famed American designer would stock and sell the brand, since he tends to lean on classic, heritage-minded designs with pedigree of their own.

That holds true for his collaborations with Timex and P.F. Flyers over the years, as well as his penchant for selling brands he knows and loves — like Blundstone, of course.

Blundstone 558 Chelsea Boots review.

You need only dive into the selection of Todd Snyder shoes found online right now to see that it makes perfect sense for Snyder to stock and sell the Blundstone 558 Chelsea Boots in a rich black colorway. Made from water-resistant leather and featuring a tough, grippy TPU outsole, they’re ready to stand up to days in the yard tackling housework as easily as they can take you to a brewery or a rock concert.

I’ve also found that my Blundstone boots get better and more supple with age, and that’s quite the benefit when it comes to the best boots for men. If that sounds like utility your footwear rotation could use, then the Blundstone 558 Chelsea Boots are the pair for you — find ’em in select sizes on sale at Todd Snyder now.
