Fall is in full swing. It’s time to put away your shorts, t-shirts, short-sleeve button-ups, lightweight pants, and sandals and make the wardrobe transition for the cooler season. Most fashion-forward men (and women) would agree that Fall is one of the best times of year to showcase your sense of style. From layering to selecting clothes and shoes of various materials, textures, patterns, and colors, Autumn cultivates the perfect environment to add character and depth to your wardrobe. 

Fellas, it’s time to give your closet a refresh and incorporate some of these Fall fashion essentials into the mix to let your personality shine. 

Textured Blazers 

Textured blazers can take your layering to the next level. Knit, leather, suede, and tweed are some of the most popular options. They add texture to your attire and break up the monotony of business, everyday, and casual wear. Rock your style by going beyond the traditional black, brown, or tan, and opt for Fall colors like burgundy, dark green, burnt orange, mustard yellow, or deep red. 

You can wear a blazer to the office, on a date, or to family gatherings during the holidays. Pair them with a button-up collared shirt, some slacks, jeans, or jogger pants, and you’re ready to rock and roll. 

Corduroys Are In

Coudoroys have come a long way from the stiff, noisy, and uncomfortable pants from when you were young. If you like keeping up with trends or mixing up your fashion, you’ll want to have a pair or two of these in your closet. No matter what type of fit (skinny, straight, or wide-leg) or color you prefer, you can find some corduroys to add to your wardrobe. They’re durable, warm, and versatile, making them ideal for the cooler Fall weather and any occasion.  

Turtlenecks

The Fall fashion scene is all about layering. Some of the best layered looks for men include the timeless turtleneck. Something about these shirts adds a level of sophistication and class to your look. You can wear them underneath blazers, sweaters, vests, or flannel jackets. Solid turtlenecks can add a pop of color to an otherwise dull outfit, while patterned shirts can serve as focal points which you draw inspiration from to put together the rest of your look. 

Raw Denim Jeans

Most men have a few pairs of jeans in their arsenal. They’re versatile and pair well with anything. While faded, distressed, and ripped jeans were the must-have pants of the past, fashion trends this year are all about authenticity. Raw jeans are denim pants that haven’t been washed or processed. They’re stiff, durable, and often come in dark blue and indigo hues. The dark rich color of raw jeans compliments the vibrant and bold Fall colors effortlessly.

 Feel free to throw a pair of these on for casual work days, dates, family gatherings, and other activities that require a dapper yet laid-back look. 

Fall Hats

Fashion-forward men are always looking for opportunities to accessorize and enhance their styles. Although scarves, belts, necklaces, bracelets, and watches are great additions to any outfit, there’s something about a hat that takes the cake. Some of the trendiest hats for Fall include beanie, trucker, bucket, and dad hats. 

Diversify your wardrobe this year by purchasing various hats for Fall that suit your personality. Play around with different colors, patterns, materials, and styles to accommodate your outfit and the occasion. 

Loafers

Oxfords and construction boots are the typical work shoes for men year-round. Athletic shoes are perfect for those days when you’re running errands, working out, or engaging in leisure activities where an upscale dress code isn’t a priority. However, when you want to step out and turn heads, a pair of loafers are the must-have footwear for Fall. 

These slip-on shoes are stylish, practical, and attractive. They add the finishing touches to your outfit. While the standard black or brown loafer is appealing, you can incorporate some personality by opting for loafers made from different materials and patterns ranging from leather and suede to zebra and snake skin. 

Whether you’re tired of wearing jeans and sweatshirts or looking for the latest trends to enhance your wardrobe, the above items are must-haves for Fall. Each of these components helps you dress appropriately for the unpredictable weather while adding a layer of texture, depth, and flare to your outfit for a fresh look that will make you feel good (and turn a few heads).
