What’s in style in 2023?

You can always go with the good old trusty classics like the brown leather moto jacket or the cashmere overcoat. However, the winter of 2023/2024 is the perfect time for you to upgrade your coat closet with something new and different.

This season, the first thing you should look for is a new and different color. Rich olives, greens, and other colors that contrast with the usual browns and navies are the best to look for, along with eye-catching patterns that will elevate your collection immediately. Here are the best options for your consideration.

It still features the wide collar perfect for shielding you from the elements and the snap tab to close the front around your neck. But the new color will help you stand out like never before.

Ah, yes ... sweater weather is upon us. If you've been struggling in the heat and are as excited as we are about the disappearing of the sun and the appearing of the leaves, fall foliage, and autumn pumpkin spice, then you, too, are jumping at the chance to brew some coffee, tea, or hot chocolate, find a spooky movie to watch, and, of course, we think of clothing at a time like this -- so throw on your favorite sweater. But what kind of sweater? Is it a pullover or a cardigan? Do you have a preference?

Well we love a good debate, so how about we decide once and for all -- pullover sweaters vs. cardigans? We will, of course, make a case for each.

Men’s fashion made simple: Taylor Stitch introduces functional capsules

As guys, we love simplicity. Don't make us think too hard about something that feels inconsequential or we will dismiss it and move on to more important things in life. What we wear has always fallen into that category. Don't make style or fashion too complicated or we will just wear what is comfortable and focus our brains on something else entirely. American mainstay brand Taylor Stitch always looks to challenge the fashion industry by finding new, better, and more responsible ways to source, sew, and sell their product. Now, they have moved to making comfort, style, and functionality all simple and accessible through the release of their first-ever outdoor capsule and the return of their workwear capsule.

Luke McAlpine, VP of Brand for Taylor Stitch, comments on the launches. “We’ve put a ton of work into these capsules with the goal being to offer a range of overbuilt gear that connects to the kind of multifaceted lifestyle we and our customers live. We’re especially excited to be able to re-introduce our Made in USA Good Acre line as part of our fall assortment.”
