Paris is one of the centers of the fashion world. Menswear has a saying…if you want flash, you go Italian; if you want quality, you go English. If you want a healthy mix of both with the romance of pure style, you go to Paris. Octobre released the first part of their 2024 fall line with an August full of casual wear, including sweaters, tees, trousers, and polos. This month, they are shifting their focus to the office and event space by releasing a new suiting capsule focused on enduring style and an eco friendly approach that keeps you looking your best and feeling even better about the purchase of Octobre suiting.

Capturing Parisian style

The new suiting from Octobre focuses on providing a Parisian-inspired wardrobe with attractive modern silhouettes. The Hampton is a gorgeous deep brown double-breasted jacket with a loose fit reminiscent of the late ’90s, perfect for the resurgence of the time. They go perfectly with the Terrence Pant in the same color. The next up is the classic pinstripe blue of the Young that perfectly encapsulates the look of the times…recapturing the height of the men’s suit. And finally the Warren Velour is the perfect blue corduroy that emulates James Bond under the Eifel Tower. The collection also includes a herringbone jacket called the Riddle. This jacket will look stellar with your favorite deep brown pants (the Terrence Pants from above fit in with the look) or your dark dress denim, perfect your after-dinner romantic stroll along the Seine.

April Showers don’t bother Jack Victor with their new Elements capsule

Rain rain go away doesn't work as well as these rain jackets

Jack Victor Field Jacket

Nursery rhymes may make you feel better on occasion, but "April showers bring May flowers" only works if you actually make it to May to enjoy the blooms. Depending on where you live, you could be in danger of washing away if you don't protect yourself from the occasional downpour. The Jack Victor Elements Capsule is setting up to be one of the most important of the year as it brings the best rain jackets on the market all in one place for you to pick up whatever your style aesthetic may be. Of course, that means there are inevitably going to be a handful of options to choose from, but the collection from Jack Victor is the complete set.
Stay dry AND stylish

For us, the building of a collection starts from the top down. That means we will look at the more elevated options that will create the perfect dressed-up looks protected from the rain. The oatmeal topcoat is the perfect versatile option to go over your suits and office wear. Then, the Herrington Jacket in pure cashmere creates the best smart casual look out there. The next step is to pick up your streetwear or more casual looks, and the best-selling Navy Bomber Jacket is the headliner for the whole collection. The perfect jacket for every day when you leave the office to live your life. They also offer a suede hooded vest that is the pinnacle of street style. Finally, the in-between styles focus on functionality, leaving the raincoats and the field jackets for those times when you need something to get you through the worst weather of the season.

A gentleman’s guide to the morning suit: The must-know details

Too dressy? Or the next step in vintage wear?

what is a morning suit timothy everest in

If you have ever watched James Bond, The Crown, or Downton Abbey, you will likely have seen the characters wearing some version of an elevated dress code known as morning dress or a morning suit. What this entails is a version of what we call black tie. While Black tie is the second highest dress code level we engage with, it is not usually worn in the day. Morning dress is worn by men at weddings, memorial services, and daytime events in the presence of The King. Perhaps the most famous time it is worn is in the Royal Enclosure at Ascot. But even if you're not a part of the royal family and getting into the Royal Enclosure isn't likely in your future, you can still wear this whenever you want to elevate your style a little higher in any situation.

There are some rules and regulations surrounding a morning suit, but the most obvious one is that it contrasts with evening dress. Where the black tie dress code and the white tie dress code are very conservative and straightforward, the morning dress should be brighter, colorful, and playful. Here is what to keep in mind with each piece.

Wicked Director Jon Chu wears custom made from exclusive members only brand

The most exclusive luxury menswear makes an appearance at the Oscars

Jon Chu in custom

The 97th Academy Awards was a show stopped by Adrian Brody's acceptance speech that beat the record for the longest ever, and Kieran Culkin reminding his wife that she agreed to have four children with him if he ever won an Oscar. While Brody beat out the likes of Timothee Chalamet, Sebastian Stan, Ralph Fiennes, and Coleman Domingo and Culkin beat out Edward Norton, Guy Pierce, and Jeremy Strong, we had our eyes keenly planted on Wicked Director Jon Chu and his custom dinner jacket made by one of the most exclusive luxury menswear brands in all of Hollywood: NB44.
Only 44 lucky members as of now

Wicked is one of the year's biggest phenomenons. After years on the stage, the Wizard of Oz prequel finally made it to the big screen and landed ten nominations, including Best Actress (Cynthia Erivo), Best Supporting Actress (Ariana Grande), Editing, and Best Picture. The winning nomination paid tribute to the best costuming of the year, and Chu led the charge with one of the best looks on the red carpet. Of course, he wore green, which paid homage to his Best Actress nomination, but that isn't the only thing that made this dinner jacket stand out. It is a custom piece from NB44, one of the most exclusive LA brands. Launched by Nicolas Bijan, only members get access to his exclusive three or four collections a year. While you can apply to be an addition to the small 44-member brand, it costs a cool twelve grand just for access. No matter the cost, Jon Chu's was the best red carpet costume, making the twelve grand almost worth it.
