Tie Bar Domino Paisley Pocket Square

via TheTieBar.com

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.

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

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.

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

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

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.

Whats the big deal about belts? I mean you only really see them if you're tucking your shirt in right? WRONG. Belts are important, not only do they help keep your pants above your would-be plumber's crack, they help complete an outfit. Women look for belts, it shows that you are deeper than just what's on the surface and while they add an extra step in at foreplay, it can show that you know what you are doing, giving your lady-friend confidence in her decision to go below the belt, so to speak. 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.

J.Crew V-Neck Cashmere Sweater

Jcrew Hearth Grey vneck cashmere sweater.jpeg

You're going out on a group outing to a rooftop bar in October, it's 78 degrees during the day but will likely dip into the 60's after the sun goes down.

How does one prep for this? Easy- pack this J.Crew cashmere sweater in your bag and be prepared for it all. Its super soft, and goes with almost any shirt you need to layer, collared or not.

Via Unitedbyblue.com

I know, I know, we just posted a flannel a couple of days ago! But, we had to show you this one. It's a bit more expensive than the one we posted from Uniqlo, but the feel and fit of this button-down made this a must-share. The shoulders have just the right amount room for someone with a decent build and the silhouette cuts in at the hips just the right amount without causing a billowing pocket of fabric in the back. The collar has buttons, a must for us when looking for a soft-cotton shirt. The double breast pocket design adds utility while the box pleat in the back gives you some added room to move, meaning it will be perfect for a weekend trek or a weekday happy hour if you have any bars with a rooftop still open. We suggest you wear this with dark wash blue jeans or darker tan chinos or layer it with a simple-colored pocket T. As a reminder, with every purchase from United by Blue they will remove 1 pound of trash form a US park or waterway which just makes you feel good!

The temperatures are lowering, meaning it's time to start adding the warm layers back into the daily rotation. While there are many takes on the fall classic, this cheaper, yet just-as-soft option from Uniqlo is a bit of a steal compared to the price points of many other brands that are just as soft. This specific flannel has a button down collar helping it maintain its shape, which tends to be an issue for the shirts made of a softer cotton material. We suggest you layer this with a plain white T and a pair of jeans, and hey there Delilah you got yourself a classic American outfit good for a trek to the coffee shop or the casual house party.

If you are the proud owner of vans low tops, loafers, or drivers and you don't have at least a few pairs of no-show socks, we need to have a talk. No-shows are the silent, unseen heroes of low cut shoes. While you may feel these types of shoes are meant to be worn raw, adding a thin layer of cotton can really make a difference in comfort and smell. No-shows are the best way to keep your shoes from stinking, and your feet from getting some bacteria-based issues like athletes foot. These no-shows from Jack Wills are 100% cotton and that's about all you need. You could opt for ones with some fancy designs, but the whole point is that they aren't seen so... Anyway, now that they are on sale, it's hard to find a good reason not to grab a pack of three.

Buck Mason Slub Tee

via buckmason.com

via buckmason.com

Buck Mason is a newer American brand literally started by two guys in a garage in 2013. Since their founding, they have made some of the best men's closet essentials to come out of U.S. since Levi's did it back in the day. A great example of these essentials is their 100% slub cotton crew-neck t-shirt. As we have mentioned before, slub cotton is material that will have some texture to it, giving the shirt a better feel and more casual look. It is breathable, and it comes in this awesome forest green, or what they call "resin" that is the perfect transition t-shirt from summer to fall. Check these guys out, and try out a t-shirt for yourself. We recommend you wear this with dark wash jeans and some brown chukkas for a casual, yet classic look you can't go wrong with.
