Banana Republic: Fall Transition

Fall Transition

banana republic

The transition of seasons can be challenging at times to dress for.  It's either too hot for a heavy overcoat or too chilly for the summer tops.   The easy solution is to dress in light layers that can be worn or taken off easily, portable, and won't affect the totality of the outfit when on or off.

This is probably in every guy's closet, but don't think of it as just a sweater.  Rather think of it as a utility knife that can be worn alone, over a collared shirt, or the layering item under a suit or blazer.  Banana Republic's blend of silk, cotton, and cashmere lends to breathability, comfort, and luxury.

We've agreed that versatility is the key to dressing for transitional seasons.  The loafer probably more than any other shoe fills that niche. Sockless with shorts and chinos during the summer or paired with pants or denim, loafers pull double duty without any effort.  Banana Republic's Pierce Loafer is a hand finished classic leather loafer with rubber outsole for maximum flexibility and comfort.  Try these classic loafers with everything you wear and you'll be surprised at how flexible these shoes are.

Paperboy with ASOS, Goorin Brothers, and JD Fisk

     Continuing the vintage theme from my previous post, this look was inspired by newspaper boys and popular 1920's style.  Vintage and early Americana will be a large focus this fall and winter season.

The New Vintage featuring Modern Renaissance Man, Woolrich, & Too Boot New York

     One of my favorite styles come from vintage 1920's: inspired by heavy fabrics, perfectly fitted suits, and amazing accessories.  Boardwalk empire, The Great Gatsby, and Lawless have really brought this era of dress to the forefront.  

     Fall is a great season for 1920's style but it's the details that distinguishes vintage from a simple blazer and pants look.  A collar pin and up-cycled handkerchief and lapel pin (courtesy of Modern Renaissance Man) made it appear as though this outfit was stolen directly off the back of a 1920's bootlegger.
