The Manual’s Top 5 Chambray Shirts for Fall

In terms of getting dressed, fall is a tricky season. The urge to wrap-up in a substantial knit is still a little premature yet; a t-shirt can leave you feeling a little too fresh. Which brings us to the chambray shirt – the ideal staple for those lukewarm fall days. Read on for a shortlist of our five current favorites.

1. Indigo Old Chambray 1942 by Big Yank

Recommended Videos

20th century workwear brand Big yank have released a special archive collection of chambray shirts for fall, and the 1942 is awesome. Made from 100% indigo cotton, this classical piece is as sumptuous as it is stylish. We love the curved hem.

2. Norse Projects Anton Chambray Shirt

A chambray shirt in red? Hell yeah! Exercising their trademark simplicity, Norse Projects have created this pared-back design for fall in an innovative washed-out red colour way. For a winning weekend look, pair with Japanese denim and sneakers.

3. Javas Plaid Chambray shirt by Saturdays Surf NYC

We love the idea of fusing chambray with print. Available in black or indigo, Saturday’s slim fit version is flattering and super wearable. Just add low-top sneakers and neutral chinos.

4. Workers Chambray shirt by Freenote Cloth

Crafted from Japanese selvedge chambray, this laidback shirt by new brand on the block, Freenote Cloth, is a great option for casual dressing. The beauty lies in the detail – custom pockets, 1/8” double needle detail, side and arm seams and custom-made horn buttons.

5. W14-542 Chambray Shirt by La Panopile

French urbanwear brand, La Panoplie, present this beautifully crafted contrast chambray shirt for fall. We love the Herringbone yoke detail and welt pocket. Pair with navy chinos and classic brogues for a effortless work-play look.

Man shaving with electric shaver

Update 10/11/24: With the end of Amazon's Prime Big Deal Days, we saw a lot of men's grooming deals disappear as well. There are still some that remain though, albeit mostly with less savings. That's still better than buying these items at their regular price, so hurry up with your purchases.

If you care about grooming and general maintenance of your appearances, you know that products that help you do so can get expensive. That's why you should have taken advantage of Amazon's Prime Day in October, which brings Prime Big Deal Days deals. The event has officially ended, but certain deals may last all month long, and we've got the best ones below. We also recommend that you look at the Prime Big Deal Days cologne deals and Prime Big Deal Days watch deals that are still available to complete your smell and look game.

Everyone knows the versatility and sophistication that a loafer has to offer. The loafer is a traditional dress shoe that has slowly become an everyday shoe rather than reserved for formal events only. Because this footwear has earned its way into everyday looks, the key is making it unique from your average formal shoe. Thanks to Martine Rose and Clarks, this is no longer a problem, as they’ve created a one-of-a-kind shoe that mixes street style with the timeless loafer. As part of their Fall/Winter 2024 campaign, these two brands have decided to give the loafer a comfortable and cushioned upgrade, without disregarding style. 
‘Coming Up Roses’ footwear collection

Along with a remixed loafer, Martine Rose has updated Clarks’ Oxford, Torhill Hi, and Clog designs. Each was redesigned in bold hues and a unique extra padding on the outside, to provide more volume and design. The Torhill Hi designs are available in black, pink, orange, and brown crocodile leather. Torhill Hi’s easy-to-wear slip-on style makes for an ideal option for colder weather looks.  The Clog was also released in similar black, orange, and brown crocodile leather materials. Clarks’ Wearers can find Clarks’ mid-heel Oxford shoes in black, lilac, and orange hues. Each design comes with Martine Rose’s touch of extra padding, along with Clark’s typical support system for comfort. An easy way to upgrade your daily looks, these pastels and pops of color will add a unique flair to your looks. This footwear collection ranges from $180 to $290 and is available on Martine Rose and Clark's websites. Select retailers will also carry pieces.
