Madewell Men’s Fall Collection Has All Your New Favorites

When we zero in on a brand we love, we tend to really, really dial things in. And when it comes to the best clothing brands for men, there’s never enough research (and wish list-crafting) to be done. That’s certainly the case when it comes to Madewell Men’s, the menswear-focused offshoot of the wildly popular Madewell women’s line. Madewell Men’s recently launched its first-ever fall collection, blessing us with rugged and refined picks aplenty. We’ve been fans of the brand’s slim denim and stylish sneakers, and this entirely new seasonal offering is no different — think of our favorite picks below as upgrades from the already-excellent line of brand basics.

If you thought you had enough flannel shirts, think again. This richly crafted Madewell Men’s flannel takes the traditional windowpane pattern and explodes it into an oversized design in Golden Pecan plaid. In short, this is the perfect flannel to wear either on its own, layered underneath a navy herringbone blazer, or atop your favorite henley.

If there’s one thing you can count on from the new Madewell Men’s fall offering, it’s that the brand’s denim will be high quality. Take these garment-dyed slim jeans in a fall-friendly color, for example. The slim fit is impeccable, and the midweight cotton-stretch blend means these will do well on the road or at the office.

If your initial inclination is that you could put together one heck of a stylish outfit with only gear from Madewell Men’s, well, you’d be exactly right. Madewell basics are hard to top, especially when they’re as well-made as this laidback, effortlessly cool garment-dyed long-sleeve tee.

Madewell Men’s Fitted Beanie

Even when it comes to the best men’s winter accessories, Madewell Men’s has you all sorted out. This fitted beanie is both on-trend and functional, and the Ashen Sand color should play nicely off essentials like garment-dyed tees and jeans (as seen above, as luck would have it!).

Last but not least: Even the smallest possible style details shouldn’t be left to chance. That’s why it’s worth investing in the kind quality socks you can wear all fall and winter with your favorite boots (and again, Madewell Men’s has you covered from head-to-toe).

The way we appear to the world is an outer expression of our inner self-image. If you look unkempt on the outside, most likely, you are feeling chaotic and unorganized on the inside. While the majority of us don't realize it, we all live in a very specific wheelhouse with our style when it comes to men's fashion.

We find things we are comfortable with, and we don't change. As a matter of fact, we often convince ourselves we can't pull off certain items, and therefore we build boundaries around our wardrobe and intentionally don't move beyond them. Of course, just because we tell ourselves we can't wear a fedora doesn't mean it is true. We simply have to learn. That is why it is important to know and understand your signature style.

As the Summer weather starts to cool off and the Fall rolls in with its holidays and returns to school, it is time to give your closet a refresh. While the warm weather has its list of fabrics perfect for the sun and vacations, the colder months of the year have their own special fabrics that will help keep you warm and dry. From alpaca and wool to flannel and tweed, here are the best fabrics for you to pick up for the season.

Wool
There are few fabrics you will find more of in men's clothing than wool. Alongside cotton (which comes from a cotton plant), wool is a natural fiber that is about as versatile as it comes. You will find it in your suits in all kinds of weights for summer and winter. However, in the cooler months, you will be able to use wool in your overcoats and sweaters.
