Bonobos channels two basic ideas for the fall line, and we love it

This brand looks to go back to basics

If you have never been in a Bonobos store, you may be a little thrown the first time. There is only one of each garment. It is a store that is minimal, clean, and not at all the chaotic overturned stacks in the mall stores you’re used to. And that is a designed effect, cutting down on mass-produced waste. The shopping experience is meant to be more tailored to you. Your specific sizing and fit profile are taken, and if there is something you like, you order your perfect size, and it is sent to your home. Like an in-person online experience.

The brand began with the momentum of some innovative pants the creator, Brian Spaly created in Stanford Business School with a curved waistline…an upgrade on the regular khaki pant. Now, they are focused on two simple concepts for their fall line that continue their sustainable mindset.

Focusing on foundational versatility

While nearly all of Bonobos’ clothes are versatile and can be worn both in the office and on your casual outing, the fall 24 line from the brand looks ripped straight out of a capsule wardrobe. The minimalist feel of the neutral colors and men’s basics mirrors the feel of their store. Their Primo Chino sports the look of a heavier pant without the bulk, making them perfect for year-round wear. And their Everyday Oxford shirt and Hudson Long Sleeve Polo encapsulate your classic, everyday wear. Both their tops and bottoms come in 4+ different fits, making them just as versatile as anything in your closet. For a brand that is normally bright and unique in colors and patterns, a focus on foundational garments in versatile looks are a change of pace.

Now that fall has officially set in, kids going back to school are reminiscing about their freedom in the summer months. One of those memories that kids everywhere wish they could return to is their summer camp. Thoughts of days in nature and nights under the stars create lifelong memories that remind us the world is beautiful and serene, even when we spend so much of our time in the chaos of city life. The Tie Bar is harnessing that nostalgia with a fall collection of accessories inspired by this nostalgia in collaboration with the historic Camp Wandawega outside of Chicago.

“Camp Wandawega has become a favorite destination of mine over the years and a place I’ve wanted to collaborate with from the moment I started with this brand. Seeing their rich history and impeccable eye for detail, brought to life through the lens of our accessories, are truly the ultimate fall must-haves. Managing to feel equal parts vintage and modern at the same time," says Michelle Kohanzo, President of Tie Bar.

Savile Row travels from London to NYC in October

London icon goes ready-to-wear in New York

Bespoke tailoring has been the most luxurious ways to buy a suit. Not only is the fit going to be just right, with impeccable tailoring being more important than anything else in suiting, but it is a personal expression that sends a loud message. That doesn't mean it is the only way. Ready-to-wear took the world by storm as men began to have less and less time to spend (or wait) for their clothing. Cad & Dandy, who has spent centuries outfitting men on the legendary Savile Row in London, hasn't been left behind as they look to expand their New York presence with a ready-to-wear space on Billionaire's Row.

“At Cad & The Dandy, we have become known as a house with a truly defined style, making garments by hand with exceptional skill that are both elegant and easy to wear whether that be bespoke or our ready to wear. The opportunity to expand into New York with our second premises in the city is an exciting step for the brand and I hope this becomes one of many new shops in our planned company expansion,” explains Co-owner of Cad & The Dandy James Sleater.

The best fall running gear for men to run in comfort

We've got the lowdown on gear you need to stay comfortable as the weather gets colder

Fall weather is often the sweet spot for running. With the sweltering, muggy summer runs in the rearview mirror and the frigid winds and icy roads of the winter yet to come, autumn has bright, sunny skies and dry, crisp air that leaves your lungs and legs feeling like you could float along the roads or trails for miles upon miles. Fall is an ideal season to run a marathon or step up your training before the darkness and cold of winter descends.
That said, fall weather can be variable -- bridging the gap between the hot summer, where you aim to wear as little as you can get away with, and the freezing winter, where you’re decked out in multiple layers to cover every inch of exposed skin. Your fall running wardrobe should have light, breathable options for shorts, pants, short- and long-sleeved tops, and a light running jacket or vest. Depending on the climate in which you live and your personal preference, running gloves and a thin hat can also be helpful. To help you fully enjoy each and every run this fall in comfort, our top picks for the best fall running gear for men are below.
