Out With The Old, In With The Cold: Our Picks For Fall

It’s that time of the year again when we have to say so long to your favorite raggedy t-shirt, those tragically torn up flip-flops (please throw them away already – your closet will thank you). Put away those well worn shorts and start thinking about some more seasonably appropriate options. The Manual has compiled a list of ‘fall friendly’ items you should consider picking up before the crispy cold front sets in. Out with the old, and in the with the cold.
