Topman Black Cotton Stripe Dress Pants

via us.topman.com

Tis the season of office holiday parties and 200 of your friends' Christmas/ nondenominational holiday parties. Some will inevitably be ugly sweater themed, but some will be more on the elegant side of the spectrum. For those, we suggest a slim trouser with a bit of character. These skinny black cotton dress pants from Topman offer a fun twist to a classic black pant, perfect for the holiday season, as the cotton flecks are reminiscent of the snowfall we all look forward to during the season. These are a bit of a tighter cut, so if you are a power bottom, we'd suggest a different style.

MVMT Rosewood Voyager Watch

via MVMTwatches.com

MVMT has some stellar designers on their team. Their fleet of watches are chalk full of designs from minimalistic to ultra modern. We are a fan of a more classical look, hence we present to you the Rosewood Voyager watch. This 42mm face has two alternate time zone dials for the frequent traveller, and is only 11mm thick, so hitting it against every door frame is less likely. The only thing we will warn you about is the strap. Expect to get a new strap for this time teller about 2 months in, while it is annoying, getting a new strap (perhaps from another vendor) makes the watch unique to you, and we all want to be unique right? Right.

Club Monaco Wool Cashmere Topcoat

via clubmonaco.com

We have jumped from PSL's to peppermint mocha's a little fast this year, so because of this, we are giving you the heavier stuff a bit early. Apparently Club Monaco got the same memo, and are having a sale on all of their jackets, including this awesome Wool Cashmere topcoat. The wool cashmere blend gives it a high-quality soft feel that is also durable enough for a sturdy topcoat. Complete with two flap pockets on the outside, lined interior pockets, and a welt breast pocket this jacket is designed like the classics with a more modern fit. While this topcoat is definitely an invest that is well worth it's cost, it won't go out of fashion any time soon (as it hasn't yet since the 1920s).

Indochino Merino Wool Flannel Blazer

via indochino.com

Winter is coming, and quickly. We seemed to have skipped over most Fall throughout the northern state, as daily highs are only reaching the mid 50s, and nightly temps are plunging even in the southern states. This means its time for some warmer sport coats. A great new guy on the scene is this merino wool flannel blazer from Indochino. The fabric is super soft, warm, and has a great roll on the collar. With a tread-count in the Super 100's the wool should stay together and last quite a while, meaning this can be inserted into your weekly wearers. And why wouldn't want to include this, it has a uniqueness your coworkers are likely not to have in their closets, setting you a part. The maroon and blue color combo allows it to go well with khakis, gray slacks, and blue jeans, so feel free to break this out for work and play.

Flint and Tinder Moleskin Shirt Jacket

via Huckberry.com

Instead of beating you over the head with flannel-based shirt options for all of Fall, we decided to mix it up a bit. Introducing the Moleskin Shirt Jacket from Flint and Tinder. This shirt jacket, or what we'll affectionately  call a shacket, is a heavy-duty cotton shirt that protects you from the elements while working out in the yard, going hiking, sitting by the campfire, or venturing into a new part of your city throughout Autumn. This shacket is 100% sourced and made in the good ol' US of A which is always worth a right swipe (get it? flint and TINDER) for us. This garment is really meant to be layered, so the sizes are a little big if you are used to a more slim fit, so take that into account when ordering. For the shorter gents out there, these sleeves will likely require a "cuff and go" type of action as they are a tad long. We suggest layering this over a lightly-colored t-shirt, and either tan chinos, or some reliable denim, and boots of your choice.

Sonos Play:1 Wifi Speaker

via Sonos.com

Music is a powerful tool. It can add tension to your scary movie scenes, energy to your workouts, and peacefulness to your morning routine. The ambiance amplifier that is a good sound track is an awesome mood adjuster or augmenter that necessitates a true-sounding speaker to give you the full effect. The Play:1 wifi speaker from Sonos, while it is the smallest format Sonos provides, is exactly that. This little guy emits some serious sound. Note that while this isn't a bluetooth speaker you can take everywhere, you can put this anywhere around your house, without having to worry about running upstairs and disconnecting, ruining the mood for everyone not in your area of your house. It is humid resistant but not water proof, so you can put it in your bathroom but keep it out of the rain. It runs off of the Sonos app that integrates with all the major music streaming apps, and has localized controls on the speaker itself for when the master of the music is out of the room and you need to adjust the levels. The best part is its ability to build off other Sonos products, allowing you to listen to the same music throughout the house or turn on different tunes in each rooms, giving you full audio control over your space.

Tie Bar Domino Paisley Pocket Square

via TheTieBar.com

We know its easy to want to build a huge catalogue of pocket squares. They add an element of "I know what I'm doing" to your outfit, along with some color and potential (like in the case with this specific pocket square) patterning. However, adding a pocket square with two sides, gives you a two for one. This pocket square from The Tie Bar has a navy side with white polkadots and a gray side with white and navy paisley, meaning you can decide how outgoing you want to get with via your pattern choice.

Benny Gold Oatmeal Baseball Tee

via BennyGold.com

For those who don't know about Benny Gold, pull up a chair. Benny is half skateboarder, half designer, half coffee enthusiast, half parent. That's a lot of halves, but we never said we were good at math. Benny Gold has a unique style that has been apparent over the years in his various logos and designs, none more famous than his signature paper plane. While we aren't close enough to go to his coffee shop-retail store, if you are in the San Francisco area, it is definitely worth at least a coffee stop. As for our pick, we really like this oatmeal-charcoal striped tee because it is an off-beat color, perfect for fall, goes beyond your normal tee with the paper plane logo and the sleeve stripes and is 100% cotton meaning it will breath well and feel good against your skin. We suggest you wear this vintage-esque tee with blue jeans and some P.F. Flyers, because, why not?

Warby Parker Topper Sunglasses

via WarbyParker.com

They aren't referred to stunna' shades for no reason! (#doubenegative) Picking out sunglasses is an art, an art that rests on your face. Sunglasses are one of the most functional accessories you'll have in your arsenal. A good pair of shades can hide your identity like a good fake mustache, or make you stand out in a crowd like a bright bro tank. These specs are more of the latter, but with much less bro-ness. The Topper sunglasses from Warby Parker would make a great addition to any guy's accessory collection. The rounded top and flatter bottom of the lenses give these a unique shape that fit most medium-sized faces, and the keyhole notching gives them some added character. We like the faded frames because it makes them even more unique, and gives them a softer appearance against your cheek bones. In this case, subtlety=refinement.

Available on WarbyParker.com for $95 or $175 for prescription lenses.

Fossil Estate EW Messenger Bag

via Fossil.com

While you may not be delivering messages with this bag, it will deliver your laptop, iPad, headphones, and whatever else you need to your office, coffee shop, or airport of choice in style. We like the darker version of this Estate Messenger from Fossil because it has the black and brown blend of colors meaning you can sling it over a blue button-down or a black v-neck and it will match just as well with each. In terms of toting capacity, this bag will fit a 14" laptop, so if you carry the big boys, this isn't for you, but it can fit a laptop, and iPad, 3 pens, a couple of notebooks and a small umbrella. As a side note, this bag comes with a limited warranty good for a year, so feel free to toss it around. Oh and did we mention it's on sale right now?

DSTLD Skinny-Slim Indigo Grey Denim Jeans

via dstld.com

A staple in any man's closet is a pair of dark-washed jeans. They can be the daily wear, and be dressed up when the occasion calls for it. These dark indigo grey jeans from DSTLD are awesomely dark, raw denim that will wear nicely over the 5+ years you'll have them and won't be going out of style any time soon. These LA-made jeans are cut in a way to reduce the bagginess around the thigh and the ankle without being so tight that motion is reduced to a robot walk so don't be scared off by the skinny label. They go great with just about anything and are dark enough to be included in the smart casual dress code category so pop on that sport coat and start networking. One note: These are Raw Denim, meaning if you wash them, wash them in cold water only, and never throw them in the dryer if you want them to remain the same size. To get rid of any smells, we suggest you put them in the freezer, yes the freezer, for about a day.

Everlane Heavyweight Tee

via everlane.com

It's natural to get a little chunky as the weather begins to cool down. Your drive to go outside lessens, those cookies in the cookie jar start calling your name a little louder, and all of the delicious Fall beers begin to accumulate around the mid section. It happens to almost all of us. The good news is we aren't the only thing getting a little thicker. Everlane has just put out the Heavyweight Tee, a heavier cotton version of their classic t-shirts. These tees are super soft and are perfect for Fall. They have a little bit more body to them, just like us come December, keeping you and the pouch where you keep your extra cookies a bit warmer. We suggest pairing this with a solid pair of dark wash jeans or cords. It will also serve as a great base layer for when the highs are only hitting the lower 60s.

It's 100% cotton with buttoned collars (always a plus for us) and has a breast pocket, just in case. This casual yet flashy top will go great under a muted colored cardigan or bomber, and a nice pair of corduroys or maroon chinos.

This Fossil belt is a solid, standard brown leather belt, it's not too pricey and is minimalistic in its design, meaning it can be dressed up or down based on your need. So if you want a belt that will last, but not cost you a fortune, this would be a good one to start with.
