The Essentials: Fall Edition

Sep 20, 2010

Been getting some requests around the internet, so I figured I would help the new kids. For the rest of you this should just be a refresher course. Here's what I think should be in every guy's fall wardrobe before anything else.  A lot of these items have lofty prices, but the main point of this is to give people an idea of what they should look like. So if you find something cheaper, by all means go for it. I just figured I'd showcase some of my favorite brands while I'm at this (also the product shots were the easiest to work with in Photoshop).

I'm going with the $15 navy knit from tie bar this fall. Bean boots and some Epaulet wool trousers are on my list too. Good looks G.

Good stuff, but just to note, those blazers are cut way too short. Don't dress like you're a little boy trying to dress grown up - just dress like a grown up.

@Anon - Don't tell people how to dress. If they like short blazers they can wear short blazers. You can wear a long one.

This stuff is clean, effortless and timeless. The only problem is that I can't afford all these things at once

Thanks guys. As I said before, these are just my picks and people should obviously shop around, try stuff on, and find what they prefer and what fits them best.
