The best of this week’s new arrivals are pretty perfectly attuned to what we want to be wearing right now. Funny how stores do that…The temperatures have finally gotten low enough that it’s time to think seriously about outerwear, whether a classic shearling or a bold puffer from Maison Margiela’s collaboration with The North Face. Also crucial now: accessories. As the pandemic has homogenized our occasions for dressing up, the addition of a well-chosen accessory—be it a colorful scarf or tweedy cap—can inject the same old uniform with the shock of the new. Those picks and more, below.
-
Wythe New York Moleskin Snap Front Shirt
Image Credit: Huckberry Wythe is a new brand that’s dedicated to creating authentic revivals of American wardrobe classics, down the millimeters of a collar roll and the circumference of a button. Here, its faithful recreation of a press-stud Western shirt swaps chamois suede for fleecy moleskin. It’s an ideal shirt for chilly days and even better as a lightweight jacket.

Brut x Laperruque Bell Keyholder
Image Credit: Brut Paris-based Brut Archives is an insider favorite for sourcing vintage military and workwear. Its designers have channeled that sensibility into a limited-edition collaboration with Laperruque that has to be one of the chicest ways to carry your keys we’ve ever seen. Their dedication to vintage is so strong that it is crafted from 1960s Swedish military leather with a vintage cord, all done using vintage equipment.

Cordone 1956 Scarf
Image Credit: The Rake One of the easiest ways to perk up your go-to uniform (because, let’s face it, it can get boring after a while) is to throw on a graphic scarf. This one, in a gauzy wool-silk blend, sports an eye-catching, vaguely Japanese print in a very autumnal palette of orange and brown. And just like that, your navy sweater and chinos aren’t so basic anymore.
-
De Petrillo Wool-Cashmere ‘Sahariana’ Jacket
Image Credit: The Rake You likely are well-versed in the safari jacket’s merits: a sportier blazer alternative that manages to be both rugged and refined. What’s the cold weather alternative? A safari jacket in wool and cashmere herringbone, of course. It’ll look just as smart with a cable knit sweater and jeans as it does with a dress shirt and trousers.
-
Grenson ‘Rocco’ Boots
Image Credit: East Dane ‘Tis the season for boots. If you invest in one pair this fall, make it one with a slightly chunkier lug sole and utilitarian attitude. Grenson’s hit all the right workwear notes while also featuring calf suede and an apron toe for a bit more elegance than the construction crew’s standard issues.
-
Acne Studios ‘Ian’ Leather & Shearling Jacket
Image Credit: Matches Like a trench coat or a cashmere turtleneck, a shearling jacket is one of those seasonless staples every man should have in his closet. Here is a textbook aviator style rendered to a T, combining grained and smooth leather with a shearling lining and oversized collar. It’s precisely the kind of gimmick-free design worth investing in for this fall—and forever.
-
Thom Sweeney Corduroy Cargo Pants
Image Credit: MyTheresa Thom Sweeney’s trim, tailored cargo pants in a handsome pinwale cord are a prime example of how the military-inspired style has grown up. While inherently casual, these pants are smart enough to pair with a dress shirt and blazer for a relaxed yet polished look.
-
DSquared2 x Poldo Nylon Padded Dog Vest
Image Credit: Giampaolo Sgura/DSquared2 Man’s best friend deserves a wardrobe upgrade, too. And as temperatures drop, an insulating layer for Fido isn’t a cutesy accessory so much as a practical necessity. Thankfully, DSquared2 teamed up with Poldo Dog Couture—an Italian brand that is top-of-the-line for canine fashion—on miniature versions of its signature designs, like this splicing of a denim trucker jacket and quilted puffer. Woof!
-
Polo Ralph Lauren Leather Gloves
Image Credit: East Dane A sturdy pair of gloves is another necessity for the cooler months. This pair from Ralph Lauren combines buttery goatskin with cozy flannel lining, but the real standout is the paracord trim along the cuff. They nod to outdoor sporting but have a luxe quality that speaks to city life.
-
Sacai x Dr. Woo Bandana Shirt
Image Credit: Sacai World-famous tattoo artist Dr. Woo has inked many of the biggest names in Hollywood. This fall, he collaborated with Chitose Abe, the Japanese designer of Sacai, to lend his pen to printed textiles. The intricately detailed design—somewhere between a bandana and an atlas—makes for a totally unique off-duty shirt. Just add jeans and a pair of tan suede boots and you’re good to go.
-
Marni Checked Wool Cap
Image Credit: Matches Like the aforementioned scarf, a well-chosen hat can make a blah outfit sing. Marni’s baseball cap stands out with a richly textured plaid in wool and mohair. The traditional check pattern and color palette have us thinking it’s destined for our next trip to the fairway.
-
Orlebar Brown ‘Vinton’ Mid-Layer Sweatshirt
Image Credit: Orlebar Brown Orlebar Brown’s sleek new capsule collection was inspired by the ocean’s stealthiest hunters, sharks. That translates to streamlined pieces in smart fabrics, like this hoodie in a warm yet breathable fabric that’ll stand up to inclement weather. The lack of bulk makes it an excellent choice for layering beneath a jacket.
-
Aesop ‘Ptolemy’ Candle
Image Credit: Aesop All of this time at home has made us appreciated the power of a great scented candle. If your sanctuary needs to up its aroma game, look to Aesop’s recently launched collection of candles—the cult skincare brand’s first ever. Our favorite is this woody, slightly smoky scent with notes of cypress and cedar. It’s a solid substitute to a roaring fireplace.
-
Maison Margiela MM6 x The North Face Circle Jacket
Image Credit: Maison Margiela Don’t be misled by this vest’s bulbous shape. Part of the newly launched collaboration between Maison Margiela and The North Face, the arty riff on a puffer achieves a slouchy, oversized silhouette when worn. It’s just the kind of fuss-free cool to take your dog-walking/coffee run/weekend errands look to the next level.
-
Golden Goose ‘Dad-Star’ Sneakers
Image Credit: Golden Goose In case you weren’t aware, October 9th is International Sneaker Day. Who knew? The sneaker impresarios at Golden Goose did, naturally, and are celebrating by launching their first entirely new model in some time. The chunky, vintage sportswear-inspired design displays the well-worn patina—achieved through skilled hand-distressing—for which the brand is known. It won’t be available online for another week but can currently be purchased via the Golden Goose Passport app.
