Spend Fall in the Forest

We love following color trends because they’re an easy way to update our wardrobes without investing in pieces that will be out of style next season. The last couple years, camouflage has been all over the runways and in our favorite brands’ collections, so it only makes sense a deep, dark green would come next. Whether you call it olive, army or forest, not only is this particular shade everywhere, it’s practically a neutral, making it super versatile. We’re dressing it down with sneakers and up with wool neckties. It’s the perfect color for fall outerwear and sweaters. Even leather accessories are getting in on the game. Check out our favorite pieces below.

WeSCWeSC Elder Padded Hooded Parka
The end of summer is a bummer, but chillier weather does bring good things, like new outerwear. WeSC’s hooded parka works in all kinds of weather, and the dark olive hue is versatile enough to wear for years. The coated shoulders and back yoke give it a textured look. $250, WeSC

We love this shirt because it has a rugged, utilitarian look that’s perfect for fall dressing. It’s actually designed for hunters with reinforced shoulder patches and underarm eyelets for ventilation, but every guy will look good wearing it with dark denim and a great pair of boots or sneakers. $98, Filson

When it comes to luxury and heritage brands, none has the history quite like Christian Louboutin. The iconic red sole brand has certified its position among the most distinguishable of them all. Although Louboutin shoes have historically been associated with women’s footwear, the men’s collection doesn’t hold back either. Recently, the brand unveiled its latest Winter 2025 collection, featuring accessories and footwear for both men and women that elevate timeless silhouettes with iconic signature details from Louboutin. One of the collection’s most versatile and premium designs, the Devon College, highlights the ease of the brand’s creation process by revamping a classic boot design into a modern new shoe option. While the rest of the collection includes a vast amount of options for the winter season, the Devon College is undoubtedly the collection’s most favorable for men this season.

The new Christian Rich x L.G.R. capsule just landed, marking the fourth time the producers and the luxury eyewear brand have teamed up since 2014. When a collaboration has this much history, you know the connection between L.G.R founder Luca Gnecchi Ruscone and the Hassan twins (Taiwo and Kehinde) runs deep, built on mutual respect for craftsmanship.

If you aren't familiar with Christian Rich by name, you definitely know their production work with icons like Drake, Childish Gambino, J. Cole, and Pharrell Williams. They bring serious cultural cred, while L.G.R. brings undeniable luxury heritage. (Think of L.G.R. as "if you know, you know" luxury — spotted on figures like Prince William and featured heavily in The White Lotus).

Prada reintroduces the Toblach, a minimalist icon reborn
Prada brings back the Toblach, an archival favorite
prada toblach loafers

Just as with many luxury designers and houses, Prada’s history is full of archival designs that are ready to be reimagined. Focusing on Prada’s footwear for men, the fashion house has plenty of silhouettes to pick from that could easily become modern favorites. Now, Prada is taking from those archives and delivering to users fan-favorites that have been redone to meet contemporary needs and trends. The first of these archival revivals comes in the form of the Toblach. The Toblach was first introduced during the 1998 fall/winter collection and became one of the first formal sneakers to hit mainstream. A hybrid shoe ahead of its time, this elevated design got its form by taking inspiration from loafers and sailing-ready sneakers. In its newest form, the Toblach collection looks to bring back this hybrid style at a time when the trend seems only to become more popular.
