Happy Halloween. This year has been scary enough, so rather than costumes we’re opting for killer new duds. This week brought some standout drops: Dior’s new B27 sneakers, Todd Snyder x L.L. Bean, Aimé Leon Dore x Woolrich and even more. See below for our picks of the pieces to buy now—they’re all treats, no tricks.
-
Ami Unstructured Jacket
Image Credit: Ami This just may be the ultimate piece of fall outerwear. It’s made of a double-faced wool-cashmere blend—a fabrication typically seen in coats—but in the form of a more versatile chore jacket. That gives it major points for practicality while horn buttons and hand-sewn construction make it decidedly luxe. It’ll work over a dress shirt, a sweater, a tee…basically, anything.

Persol ‘PO3260S’ Sunglasses
Image Credit: Persol These shades look familiar? That might be because they made their silver screen debut on Marcello Mastroianni in Fellini’s classic La Dolce Vita. Or it could be because Jude Law sported them in The Talented Mr. Ripley. Both of which go to show that this commanding aviator frame is steeped in stylish pedigree.

Nanamica Down Muffler Scarf
Image Credit: Ssense Techy and tailored is always a winning combination, as evidenced by Japanese brand Nanamica’s down-filled scarf. It’s made of a nylon technical taffeta in a classic navy and white bar stripe. It will add a sporty touch to suiting or a sartorial nod to casual wear. Either way, it’ll keep you nice and toasty.

Rick Owens x Veja Runners
Image Credit: FarFetch This week, sustainable sneaker brand Veja released the second round of its collaboration with fashion’s haute punk king, Rick Owens, and the results are as cool as you’d expect. But they’re not all looks: they feature new foam technology for increased lightness and cushioning, while the outsole is made of bio-based cork and the upper is woven from recycled plastic bottles.
-
L.L. Bean x Todd Snyder Chamois Shirt
Image Credit: Todd Snyder Ever since it debuted on the runway back in February, Todd Snyder’s collaboration with L.L. Bean has been one of the most anticipated releases of the fall. This week, it finally arrived and it doesn’t disappoint. Snyder’s tailored take on Bean’s beloved chamois flannel shirt, here in an archival duck camo, makes outdoorsy urbane. Team it with cords and a turtleneck for sipping cocktails by the fireside—indoors or out.
-
Maison Labiche ‘Badass’ Sweatshirt
Image Credit: Saks Fifth Avenue French brand Maison Labiche does wardrobe basics embroidered with cheeky phrases—a highbrow answer to graphic tees. This sweatshirt in a sophisticated goldenrod hue has “badass” discreetly stitched on the chest. Team it with jeans and sneakers for heading to the polls, and politely announcing that you’re not to be messed with.
-
Aimé Leon Dore x Woolrich Wool Parka
Image Credit: Woolrich It’s a great week for collaborations, and the pairing of downtown favorite Aimé Leon Dore and Americana OG Woolrich is one we can very much get behind. One of the standouts of their partnership is this debonair puffer in a refined virgin wool tweed from Loro Piana (that also happens to be wind- and water-resistant).
-
Pantaloni Torino Wool Cargo Trousers
Image Credit: The Rake Pantaloni Torino gives utilitarian cargo pants a rather elegant upgrade in charcoal grey wool flannel with a hint of stretch. Roomy in the seat with a slightly tapered leg, they look smart don’t skimp on comfort. Pair them with a pale blue button-down and navy cardigan for a relaxed tailored look.
-
Jacques Soloviere Shearling Suede Shoes
Image Credit: Mackintosh We can’t support wearing Ugg boots (at least not in public) but have to admit they are incredibly comfy. Here’s a far more stylish alternative for keeping your toes warm: a whole-cut suede derby with plush shearling lining. Unlike Uggs, these can be worn with a pair of jeans and chunky knit without inciting sneers.
-
Isaia Suede Sport Shirt
Image Credit: Saks Fifth Avenue Earlier this year, Isaia won our Best of the Best award for its exceptional suede chore coats. This number features everything we love about those chore coats in an equally of-the-moment over-shirt. It offers all the same versatility, with a cleaner, pocket-less look. Layer it over a fine gauge sweater for a quietly cool date night look.
-
Albam Cotton Chino Trousers
Image Credit: Matches Simple things are often the hardest to get right, and that’s certainly true of chinos. While these may not be the most exciting pants you’ve ever seen they’ve got all the little things that matter: a slightly retro, full leg cut, side adjusters, a nice, wide waistband and a cream-colored cotton ripstop twill. What more can you ask for?
-
Noah Fisherman Sweater
Image Credit: Noah Classics are made to be played with, like Noah’s cable-knit fisherman sweater—made in England from wool, with all the traditional chops—rendered in vivid yellow. It’s just the thing for adding an unexpected punch of color to wintery navy and gray.
-
Dior Men B27 Low-Top Sneakers
Image Credit: Dior Since he’s arrived as creative director at Dior Men, Kim Jones has been on a roll with sneakers. Following the insanely popular (and insanely cool) Dior Air Jordans, this week the brand released its latest design, the B27. The silhouette is inspired by skate shoes and ’80s tennis gear (who doesn’t love a McEnroe reference?) and they’re crafted in Italy with intricate details, like perforated leather bearing Dior’s archival monogram.
-
Kassl Editions Waxed Cotton-Canvas Coat
Image Credit: Matches Germany-based Kassl editions launched in 2018 with a minimalist recreation of a traditional fisherman’s raincoat—an ideal marriage of fashion and utility. This mac is as classic as rainwear gets, with tan coated canvas and bonded seams, but the clean-lined silhouette gives it a modern edge.
-
Sunspel x Ian Fleming Shawl Cardigan
Image Credit: Sunspel James Bond continues to be a font of inspiration for designers. For Sunspel’s latest collaboration with the estate of Ian Fleming, Bond’s creator, puts the focus on 007’s cold weather attire. This thickly ribbed, shawl collar cardigan is a fall/winter staple, that it’s Bond-worthy is an added bonus.
