3 Impeccable Fall Outfits for Peak Admiring-the-Foliage Season

Fall outfits take many forms. There’s a certain point, right around the time when the temperatures start dropping, that getting out of town starts to sound like a very good idea. Maybe you’re heading for the hills for some fresh air or simply taking a break from the city before the holiday madness kicks in. Whatever the excuse, there’s something to be said about spending a couple of days somewhere where there are more trees than people. (Whatever gets you out the door, really.)And while a little fresh air is reason enough to get out of town, we’d argue that getting dressed for it is half the fun. Think chunky knits, substantial outerwear, sturdy boots, and all those rich, tactile fabrics that make dressing for the colder months so appealing. Of course, a weekend away can take you from a slow morning at the cabin to a muddy trail to a nice dinner in town, sometimes all in the same day. So we’ve put together a few fall outfits for dressing the part.5 Unimpeachable Fall Menswear UpgradesThe Swanky-as-Hell ShearlingYves Salomon Shearling-Lined Suede CoatBuy nowThe Light, Bright Base LayerPaul Smith Wool Henley T-ShirtBuy nowThe Better Tote BagLemaire Belted Nubuck Leather Tote BagBuy nowThe Easy-Peasy PantsThe Row Fred Slim-Fit Straight-Leg Cotton-Corduroy TrousersBuy nowThe Burly, Leaf-Stomping BootsR.M. Williams Gardener Waxed-Suede Chelsea BootsBuy nowHunkered Down in the CabinIf you’ve gone through the trouble of renting a cozy hideaway for the weekend, you might as well make the most of doing nothing. This territory is prime for the softest of flannels and, say, a shawl-collar cardigan from Elder Statesman, the reigning kinds of impossibly good knitwear. And pajamas at noon? Perfectly acceptable, provided they’re Derek Rose’s brushed plaid bottoms. Add Charvet’s suede slippers and a pair of marled wool socks, because cabin floors are notoriously unforgiving to bare feet.KapitalIvy Rainbowy Happy Heel Cotton and Hemp-BlendDerek RoseKelburn Straight-Leg Checked Brushed Cotton-Flannel Pyjama TrousersPaul SmithWool Henley T-ShirtCDLPCamp-Collar Lyocell Pyjama ShirtThe Elder StatesmanShawl-Collar Cashmere CardiganHoofing It on the TrailsYou’re here for some fresh air and a nice view, and chances are, you’ve got a well-marked trail to work with, so you don’t gotta go overboard. A thrashed sweatshirt will do just fine, but a pair of trail-ready pants from Portal will give you more freedom than your usual jeans. Trail or not, there’s a case to be made for a proper pair of hikers from Diemme, the Italian brand that’s been making exceptionally handsome footwear in the foothills of the Dolomites for decades. Better still, they’re the kind of boots you’ll wanna wear after you’ve made it back to civilization.Our LegacyOrbit Hooded Twill Bomber JacketCanada GooseLodge Quilted Shell Down GiletSeaseExplorer Wool-Blend Zip-Up Ski Mid-LayerPortalTraka Straight-Leg Recycled-Shell TrousersAimé Leon DoreShearling-Trimmed Suede Trapper CapDiemmeRoccia Vet Suede Hiking BootsCrunching Leaves Around TownArguably the best part of any weekend getaway to the country is the chance to indulge in a little small-town living. Poking around antique shops, finding a good cup of coffee, or settling in for an early dinner. You might be the only person in town wearing a shearling-collared coat from Yves Salomon, or a pair of cords from The Row, but that ain’t a reason to leave either at home. And do you need to wear a pair of rugged Chelsea boots to browse the stacks at the local bookshop? Probably not. But damn if you won’t look like a well-dressed son of a gun doing it.Yves SalomonShearling-Lined Suede CoatAuraleeStriped Cotton and Silk-Blend ShirtDrake'sBrushed Shetland Wool SweaterR.M.
