These Layering Pieces Are Autumn Necessities

While it's sad to see summer officially come to a close, Autumn's colder weather brings with it a wealth of fashion opportunities.

The possibilities are endless now that the heat has simmered down. By now, we've all gotten sick of wearing t-shirts and shorts, and are ready for snug beanies, fashionable down vests, and colorful cardigans. For those really wanting to improve their fashion this year, here is a list of essential layering items every man needs to look his best this fall.

Hoodies

Mens Online Stylist


While some may not have touched the hoodie since their college days, form-fitting hoodies are very much back in style, and offer both comfort and style. Throw a light windbreaker over it along with a white turtle-neck and you're ready for a brisk autumn walk. Swap it out for a nice light jacket and you can roll through to the office without looking sloppy.

Cardigan's


A fall time classic, the cardigan sweater is a staple for any fashionable man. Throw on a light button up underneath and head off to work in style, or swap it out for a simple white t-shirt and a beanie for a more urban swagger.

Gilet's


Like a warm hug, Gilets have become the perfect accessory for those looking for a cozy yet professional look. But, in this case, one size does not fit all, so make sure it fits you correctly. Too tight and nothing will fit underneath, too loose and it can make you look bloated. Make sure to choose a solid color that can be acclimated to your wardrobe, but don't be afraid to go bold.

Flannel's


Thick, cozy, and essential for any autumn style, a flannel can really pull any outfit together. Throw a navy-blue jean jacket over it and make it the main piece of your outfit, or throw a white t underneath the flannel and use it for layering instead. Well insulated, and offered in an endless array of colors and patterns, make sure to stock up on plenty of flannels this fall.

Denim Jacket's


One of the oldest and most well-respected staples of men's fall fashion, a well-made denim jacket can have a profound effect on your outfits. It can make any sloppy fit seem put together, and with a scarf and button up, it can make an already fashionable man look like a runway model. Levi's obviously make some of the best denim jackets in the game, and offers them in a variety of fashionable washes that will make any man feel and look their best.

Skinny Jeans


Of course, none of it would be complete without a good pair of jeans. Skinny jeans are a necessity to make any of the aforementioned pieces pop. From dark to light washes, it all depends on personal preference, just remember that the jeans are supposed to cup the ankle and fit snugly.
