FIVE FALL GETS FOR MEN

                 Five Must-Haves for Fall 2025 (With Just the Right Amount of Swagger)

Fall is when men rediscover texture, women reclaim layering, and everyone pretends to be “into the foliage.” But if you really want to stride into the season looking like you know what you’re doing, here are five essentials that strike the right balance between polish and personality.

1. The Chronograph on Bracelet Because checking the time on your phone is for accountants. A chronograph watch on a steel bracelet adds instant credibility to whatever you’re wearing—whether it’s a hoodie or a houndstooth blazer. You don’t need to drop $10,000 (that comes later). Brands like Tissot, Baltic, Timex and Seiko are producing handsome chronos that can fool a Rolex wearer at ten paces. The beauty is in the detail: the subdials, the pushers, the little click that says “I appreciate engineering.”

2. The Fall Bomber Jacket Equal parts attitude and nostalgia. The bomber has graduated from Top Gun cosplay to grown-up staple. This season, it’s all about texture. Opt for sleek nylon if you want city cool, soft suede if you lean country club, or lambskin leather if you just want people to ask, “Is that new?” Throw it over anything from a t-shirt to a turtleneck. It’s rebellion, refined.

Suit Supply

3. The Velvet Sport Coat Velvet is back, baby…and it’s not waiting for the holidays. A velvet sport coat is your secret weapon for instant elegance. Pair it with jeans and boots for cocktails, or black trousers for dinner. Throw in a colorful packet square to add zest.  It whispers “old-world charm” while still being delightfully extra. Choose deep jewel tones—midnight blue, oxblood, or emerald—and watch as restaurant hosts suddenly start calling you sir.

4. The Belt That Matters Belts are the most ignored accessory, until they aren’t. Fall ’25 demands one that makes an entrance: think exotic skins, hand-stitched leather, or a showy buckle that says you have opinions about Italian craftsmanship. What’s around your waist can elevate everything above it. Always coordinate it with your shoes. Think of it as the midway point when the chick looks at you from head to toe.  Leave the floppy department-store belt behind; this is your exclamation point.

Loro Piana

5. The Great Cap The finishing touch. A soft flannel cap, a suede-brimmed number, or one with a raised embroidered crest adds a layer of polish to casual looks. Think old-money prep, not Little League dad. The MLB snapback belongs in the garage, your cap should suggest you’ve been invited to someone’s estate for the weekend and always….ALWAYS remove it when entering a restaurant or home.
