Best fall outfits for men – Alessandro Rocco Pietrocola

Layer your clothes

It is time for coats, jackets and sweaters. Layering can help you deal with unpredictable fall weather. Instead of wearing one thick coat, put on several thin layers. This way your outfit will be more practical and stylish. Multiple layers are more eye-catching and allow you to alter your temperature by adding or removing them. For layering, you can use T-shirts, polos, shirts, vests, sweaters, scarves etc. Layer 3 things max.

Get wool trousers

When it comes to layering the upper body, there are many different options. However, you don’t have as much for your legs. To keep your lower body comfy during fall, go for wool trousers in muted dark colours. They will hold some heat and naturally fit your fall wardrobe.

Choose warm earthy tones

In fall, nature is changing its colours, so your wardrobe should too. Muted, solid, earthy tones are the best choice. Wearing several pieces at once creates plenty of pattern on its own. The best colours for fall outfits are navy, burgundy, brown, olive greens.

Wear textured fabrics

Such textured fabrics as corduroy, tweed, suede, woollen knits in muted shades work great for fall outfits. Moreover, most of the textured fabrics are thick. Therefore, on a cool day, you won’t have to put on an overcoat as such clothes will keep you warm. For example, you can get a corduroy or tweed jacket with flap pockets.

Don’t forget about underwear                     

If you start using underclothes in fall, you can keep wearing some of the light clothes for longer. Whenever the weather gets cold, just put on your insulated undergarments and wear any stylish trousers you like.

Knitwear is important

Knit clothes should be well-fitted, not baggy. You can layer thin and smooth knits as well. For a more casual look, choose lightweight sweaters and pair them with a blazer. For the colder weather, a thick cardigan will be a great choice, just make sure the fit is right in the shoulders. The best sweaters for fall are turtlenecks, button mock necks, cable-knit sweaters, sweater vests.

Boots are the best

Boots are great for fall because they give you more height and protect your feet from getting wet in rain. They are solid and have a masculine look. They are practical and waterproof. They look elegant just like dress shoes. Chukka and brogue dress boots are both practical and stylish. Choose boots in dark tones and don’t forget to get the right warm socks too.

Invest in coats

Until winter, you can keep to lighter coats. If you are going to some casual event, go for a peacoat. It is a perfect choice, in case you are wearing a sweater and need lighter outerwear. If you are going to work or an evening event in suits, a longer overcoat will be a great choice. A trenchcoat is slightly less formal, but also a stylish option. Whatever you select, just make sure your suit jacket doesn’t poke out from under your coat. For fall, I would recommend overcoats, peacoats, leather jackets, parkas, waxed coats, jackets, trenchcoats.

Don’t forget about scarves

A scarf is a stylish accessory, which can also keep you warm. If worn correctly, it can complement any outfit at any time of the year. Get a simple cashmere wool scarf in a dark colour, drape it over your neck or tie it whenever the temperature gets colder.

Go with other fall accessories

Dark knit ties in wool or cashmere are great for fall. They create a completely different character than a traditional silk one but look very stylish as well. Always make sure to get the right length so your tie doesn’t stick out underneath your jacket or cardigan.

Top it off with fall muted pocket squares. However, you can choose a brighter one if the rest of your outfit is subdued. As for texture, choose it according to the tie.

Gloves sometimes are underrated and overlooked. However, they look extremely elegant, protect your skin from wind, keep your hands warm and cosy. Just get them in colours that contrast with your coat.

Don’t forget to take care of your skin

Winds and cold temperatures can damage and dry out your skin. Get products infused with skin-repairing vitamin E. Also, you should remember that even if it is cold outside, your skin still needs SPF protection. Use a replenishing cream as well.
