Be sure to layer up

Depending on where you live, the autumn season can be short-lived, springing forth early winters with bitter temperatures that take over rather quickly. That’s why it’s so important to prepare for frigid conditions by purchasing your men’s designer outerwear ahead of time. Whether you need a new cool-weather coat or some cozy sweaters to take the chill off, the layered look is always in fashion, and to top things off, it’s also practical and functional for those who’re spending time outside or even just walking from their car to an indoor space. 

While it’s important to embellish your look with stylish, men’s designer outerwear, it’s also essential to choose underlayers that are light and breathable, as heavy sweating will actually cool you down, defeating the purpose of layering. Also, keep in mind that while you want your outfits to be eye-catching, the fall season is already busy with vibrant colors, so be sure to select a good mix of heavier fleeces that vary in thickness and exemplify a variety of neutral colors allowing you to mix and match. 

Solid colors and textured fabrics are in style

Whenever you’re planning to layer your outfit, it’s always best to select muted, solid colors to make it easier to blanket pieces on top of one another. While this is not a definitive rule, it works best when layering seasonal tones, which tend to steer towards earthy shades, alongside green and orange schemes. Think harvest season when you’re adding new men’s designer outerwear to your wardrobe! After all, overlapping solids gives you some added dimension and can often create a beautiful pattern on its own. Another great tip is to choose fabrics like corduroy, tweed, wool, velvet, and suede to give you outerwear that has a nice, autumnal feel with the added bonus of warmth.

Purchase some boots

You’ve likely already traded in your summer sandals for some closed-toe footwear, but have you considered investing in some sturdy boots for the season? Anything with a leather sole is guaranteed to provide the weather resistance that you’ll need for the rain and snow ahead, but if you’re also factoring in style, then consider adding some monk straps boots or Chelsea boots to your ever-growing shoe collection. 

Hint: Try and match them with your favorite pairs of pants!
