See Now, Buy Now: This Wellen Chore Coat from Huckberry is a Rugged Winter Style Upgrade

There comes a time in every season when your wardrobe starts to feel a little stale, even if you’ve done your best to stock it with, say, a selection of the best men’s winter jackets. Of course, that’s where your good friends (and my good friends!) at Huckberry come into play, with plenty of men’s style essentials to shake up even the worst case of the winter doldrums. I’d imagine you’re well-acquainted with the retailer’s rugged-meets-refined offerings, but a refresher is never a bad thing — that’s certainly true when it comes to shopping one of the best men’s chore coats, the Wellen Blanket Chore Coat.

It’s got all of the trappings of a perfectly rugged, durable chore coat, yet it’s been done up in a warm yet surprisingly lightweight, unlined polyester-wool-nylon blend. That makes the Wellen Blanket Chore Coat a nice layer to throw on over a fisherman sweater or a more thick-knit jumper, or even one of the best men’s flannel shirts (both of which you can find at Huckberry, of course). And the Wellen Blanket Chore Coat has plenty more going for it beyond just that toasty (and again, lightweight!) winter fabric.

Notably, the Wellen Blanket Chore Coat is modeled after old-school, vintage blankets with vivid, rich patterns — take your pick from a Jacquard Stripe option or two handsome plaid variations. The Wellen Blanket Chore Coat also boasts all the classic trappings of a rugged chore coat, including two button-front patch pockets, an interior pocket for your phone, and a patch chest pocket for even more EDC storage.

All of those features turn the Wellen Blanket Chore Coat into a highly useful yet polished winter coat, one you can even wear in place of a blazer over your favorite Oxford shirt if you so choose. Best of all, the Wellen Blanket Chore Coat is priced fairly at just under $200, an agreeable price to pay to shake up your winter wardrobe. We’ll see you out there, my friends.

As far as the best style essentials for men are concerned, I’m of the opinion — as you know if you read the blog — that it’s never too early to get ready for a new season, especially when the season in question is early fall (surely, one of the best times of year for menswear). And of course, you should stay at the ready by shopping your favorite online menswear shops early and often, like Huckberry.

We’ve talked about on-sale summer style essentials from the famed retailer here as of late, but today’s fall style pick is a crucial one — it’s the Wellen Organic Cord Shirt, a refreshed take on the classic buttondown that you’re going to love wearing this fall. You’ll find, it of course, in the Huckberry New Arrivals section, which is positively packed to the gills with some of the best early fall menswear.

100 percent organic cotton construction and a made-in-India design drive home the modern-yet-timeless nature of the Wellen Organic Cord Shirt, and the fit should prove easy to wear this shirt all on its own or beneath your favorite henley this fall. Again, it’s never too early to prepare properly with style essentials aplenty for fall, and the Wellen Organic Cord Shirt checks off all the right boxes.

Style Pick of the Week: Wellen ’66 Stretch Boardshorts – Summer’s Best Boardshorts

Back in the day, years ago, boardshorts used to get a bit of a bad rep, did they not? You know the ones I mean: Baggy boardshorts with way too many pockets, the kind you might have worn growing up (no harm, no foul!). But that’s all changed: The best men’s swim trunks for summer, like the Wellen ’66 Stretch Boardshorts, are both better-fitting, more mature and just cooler (seriously!) than the pairs you might have worn back in the day, and that makes them a worthy candidate for today’s Style Pick of the Week.

It all comes down to the fact that the Wellen ’66 Stretch Boardshorts boast a vintage-inspired cut that streamlines things from a pair of early 2000s boardshorts, and that’s a great thing for all involved. The moisture-wicking and quick-drying, lightweight fabric also gives you added mobility in the water and on land, another major benefit of upgrading your boardshorts in a modern manner. Above all else, the Wellen ’66 Stretch Boardshorts add some serious style points to your summer swimwear rotation.

They’re also part of Huckberry’s sustainable in-house brand Wellen, another major benefit if you want to upgrade your style the right way this season.

This sweater is distinctive in more ways than one, starting with the more laidback and warming waffle knit construction. That gives it a more rugged appeal than a smooth merino wool sweater, for instance, so the Wellen Recycled Cotton Headlands Sweater is ideal for casual style situations (more on this in a second). And the use of recycled cotton (40 percent of the fabric blend used) holds up the sustainable end of the bargain, while acrylic and polyester add durability and stretch. One of the best sweaters for men checks even more boxes beyond that, though.

Naturally, the Wellen Recycled Cotton Headlands Sweater is your new favorite sweater for a reason, and it comes down to versatility and layering potential. Because it’s made with a cotton blend, it’s not overly stuffy or heavy, like a wool sweater (which you should also have in your wardrobe, mind you). For days when temperatures might start in the 40s or 50s (or days where the temperatures drop down into the 60s at night), a lightweight sweater like the ever-versatile Wellen Recycled Cotton Headlands Sweater is the right way to go.

Style Pick of the Week: Wills Speckled Merino Crewneck Sweater

A classic and cool sweater made from top-notch materials.

On the hunt for one of the best sweaters for men this holiday season (and beyond)? If you ask me, I think your search just got a little less comlicated, because the Wills Speckled Merino Crewneck Sweater is here to solve your winter layering problems in effective, refined and surprisingly affordable style. We’re talking about one of the best sweaters under $100 for men here (it clocks in at $98), and it’s super helpful that said sweater is sold by Huckberry. That gives it a mark of quality and a high bar to clear, but again, the Wills Speckled Merino Crewneck Sweater is one-of-a-kind in its own right, from the premium fabric to the no-fuss crewneck design. The crewneck design, in fact, means you can wear this refined sweater on its own atop a long-sleeve T-shirt for a more laidback look, and yet it might be at its best with a classic Oxford shirt or a warm flannel shirt for added warmth and holiday-ready style. Yes indeed, a piece like the Wills Speckled Merino Crewneck Sweater is subtly stylish and yet seriously cool in its own way, and that makes it a highly covetable winter wardrobe addition.

SHOP: The Wills Speckled Merino Crewneck Sweater

One of three versatile colorways in which you can snag your new favorite sweater.

As mentioned above, it helps that this versatile sweater comes in three highly adaptable colors, each of which could be the building block of a successful holiday ensemble. Team the Charcoal color with everything from tan chinos and an Oxford shirt to dark blue denim, brown leather chukka boots and a light blue chambray shirt underneath. Either of those looks should work swimmingly this holiday season. It’s also quite helpful that the Wills Speckled Merino Crewneck Sweater is made with, well, merino fabric for the ultimate in versatility. Merino regulates your temperature and acts as an anti-microbial fabric, all the better to ensure you get multiple rounds of wear out of this standout sweater. Again, you can’t top the sub-$100 price tag, either. And if I were you, I just might look to snag multiple colorways of what just might be your new favorite sweater. Who’s onboard with that? If you end up picking up this piece, let me know on Twitter.
