When the weather decides to spoil you with a few sunny days and you want to wear something outside your comfort zone, add a waistcoat or vest to your outfit. Vests are a great way to make your fall wardrobe more stylish and warm, as they come in lots of fabrics, patterns, and colours.

When it comes to stylish vests, layering is key, so try pairing them with a long sleeve shirt or a sweater for a look that is both cosy and trendy. Make sure to choose a bulky, oversized vest so that it will create a nice contrast between the thinner underlayers and make your look appear more stylish and put together.

Knit cardigan

A warm, knit cardigan is the closest thing to perfect you can wear this fall. Not only are these things versatile and have a timeless design, but they are also the perfect layering piece for almost all of the outfits you plan on wearing this fall. These knit garments, particularly the Irish cardigans, make the best addition to your fall wardrobe thanks to their distinctive designs and warm wool.

Wear a cable knit Aran cardigan over a long knit dress, a classic button-up shirt, or a turtleneck and pair it with any bottoms you have and you’re guaranteed to get a cosy, fashionable outfit that you can wear all day long.

Overcoat

The right overcoat is that exact garment that can completely change your outfit and make you feel confident no matter what you’re wearing underneath. A thick, heavy overcoat will become your trusted friend during the colder October and November days when you won’t feel like putting together intricate outfits, but would still like to look good.

When choosing the right one, make sure that the length of your overcoat is appropriate for your body shape, since longer styles look best on taller people while shorter garments tend to flatter those who are smaller in stature.

Hoodie

Although many fashionistas think that hoodies lack style and are only appropriate for street wear, they are a timeless and essential outerwear piece that should be part of any fall wardrobe. Not only are they incredibly comfortable, but their practicality makes them perfect for tackling cooler temperatures way easier.

For a casual everyday look, try pairing a hoodie with jeans or joggers, a classic fit t-shirt, and an oversized hoodie on top. This outfit is great for running errands while staying warm, cozy yet stylish. However, if you’re feeling like dressing up for a particular occasion, consider wearing your hoodie underneath an overcoat or blazer jacket to make your outfit look put together and comfy.

Winter isn’t winter without the faithful companionship of a knitted sweater. This year, they’re bigger and better than ever with novelty sweaters making a major comeback. That means bold prints, bright colours and a whole load of personality that will upgrade this staple into a statement piece. If you don’t want winter dressing to mute your style, novelty sweaters are a great way to brighten up any outfit.

Winter whites

Who says white is just for summer? 2022 is seeing a surge in winter whites with many consumers unwilling to succumb to the predictable blues and greys. By mixing cuts, styles and textures, they are a great way to elevate your look throughout winter. Whether it’s a white evening dress, chunky trainers or a plain tank top, white is a versatile colour that can be easily incorporated into any outfit for a summery throwback.

Oversized scarf

A great way to add layers, texture and colour, there’s nothing like the comfort and consolation that an oversized scarf brings. And the bigger the better!

Be bold and choose a vibrantly coloured or patterned scarf. If the rest of your outfit is more subdued, throwing on a scarf can brighten the most subdued of looks. What’s more, you can style it however you wish. Wind it around your neck for extra warmth, tuck it under a coat or make it the centrepiece by carelessly throwing it over one shoulder.

Sturdy boots

Increased rain and snowfall demand hardy footwear. Stay safe and warm with a pair of fashionable chunky boots or beat the weather with some snuggly snow boots. When it comes to winter footwear, invest in quality materials and smart designs that will last you several years. They will undoubtedly become your best friend over the colder months.

The humble knitted dress just might be the most versatile wardrobe staple out there. Essentially, your favourite knitted jumper in dress form, it’s like wearing a warm hug throughout the day. Pair with chunky women’s trainers during daytime hours and add jewellery or heeled boots for an evening look. Why not add a splash of colour with a clutch bag? It works effortlessly for anything from the 9-5 to that 7pm dinner date.

The silk blouse

The silk blouse is a timeless top-half wonder that works for day to night transitions. During the day, you can pair a silk blouse with leather trousers or tuck it into a maxi skirt. You can layer with a cardigan or oversized blazer for warmth and wear trainers for comfort. For those evening plans, a silk blouse transitions into a glam night-time look when paired with skinny jeans or a miniskirt and some heels. Don’t forget to add some chunky jewellery to style up the look.

Bring the bling

Jewellery has a huge impact on the way an outfit comes together and it’s small enough to carry around in your bag for a last-minute night-time transition – even better! Minimalist stud earrings are a great way to accessorise during the day and are work appropriate. A small subtle necklace can also add some elegance to a daytime outfit. For those glamorous evening plans, chunky statement necklaces can completely change the tone of your outfit. Whilst glam drop earrings say,  “Why yes, I would like to see the wine menu.”

Skirts

Skirts are the perfect staple for the cooler months as they can be paired with tights which immediately smarten up the look, perfect for a transitional outfit. Midi skirts and wrap skirts are office staples, making them work for your 9-5 or those daytime shopping plans. From flowy to pencil skirts, the range of fits is endless. Pair with a turtleneck and pumps for daytime plans. Ready for wherever the night may take you? Slip on a pair of strappy heels, throw on a leather jacket and you’ll be good to go!

Heeled boots

Chunky heeled boots offer a sleek and sophisticated vibe that works for both day and night looks. Pair with knitted jumpers and skinny jeans during the day for a casual but stylish look. Chunky boots look glam with dresses in the evening or wide leg trousers and a blouse, remember to accessorise with bold necklaces and a clutch bag. Put your best foot forward and add a pair of boots to your day to night wardrobe and layer with a statement coat.

Add some of these timeless classics to your street style wardrobe and you’ll be ready for countless day-to-evening plans, without having to completely change your look. You’ll be able to find these versatile pieces when you’re next out shopping or on a fashion shopping app. Why not get creative and try mixing and matching some of your favourite pieces today?

As the leaves start to change colour and a chill fills the air, it’s time to start thinking about your autumn wardrobe. Earthy tones, cosy fabrics and statement pieces are key for nailing that fall look, and there’s no better place to start than with some of the top Italian brands.

And, don’t worry, this is not your typical Armani, Gucci, Prada, Versace, Fendi Italian fashion houses kind of guide. But we have listed those below if you want to check them out.

I’ve personally handpicked some of my favourite Italian luxury brands that might not be as commonly known, but will most definitely add more than a touch of Made in Italy quality to your harvest-season wardrobe.

So, without further ado, here are my favourite Italian fashion brands to wear this autumn.

• Luca Faloni
• Pini Parma
• Brioni
• Canali
• Velasca
• Borsalino
• Rubinacci

Bask In Finest Cashmere With Luca Faloni

As the temperatures start to dip, a cosy sweater is a must-have item in any man’s wardrobe.

Luca Faloni is a luxury menswear brand that specializes in high-quality knitwear.

Their sweaters are made from the finest Cariaggi fine yarns, ensuring that you’ll stay warm and cosy in silk-cashmere all season long.

And with a range of styles available, including cable knits, V-necks, cardigans, and zip-ups, you’re sure to find the perfect sweater to match with a shirt and jeans or your favourite blazer.

Looking to add a touch of Italian flair to your casual formalwear? Here are my recommendations:

• Pure Cashmere Cable Knit Zip-Up
• Chunky Knit Cashmere Cardigan
• Fine Silk-Cashmere V Neck

Make A Statement With Pini Parma’s Luxurious Trousers

What I love about Pini Parma is that their trousers manage to make any man look good. It’s true.

Doesn’t matter if you’re short, tall, skinny, or chubby. Young, old, rich or living check-to-check. Pini Parma’s impeccable tailoring will have you looking dashing no matter what.

Their trousers (and jeans, too) are made from the finest fabrics you’ve ever felt (even their corduroy rocks), so not only will you look good, but you’ll also be warm even when those autumn winds start to pick up.

To add a dash of dapper to your look, I’d dress you in these:

• Brown Flannel “Soragna Capsule Collection” Trousers
• Beige Cotton Biella Trousers
• White Cotton Stretch “Soragna Capsule Collection” Trousers

Leave Them Speechless In Your Tailored Brioni

Okay, I get it, Brioni costs an arm and a leg. But, trust me when I say that the soft tailoring in their suits are worth every single meal you’d miss.

Their suits are the epitome of Italian style and luxury. They’re handcrafted from start to finish by some of the best tailors in the business, using only the finest fabrics money can buy.

And, if you’re looking for a truly bespoke suit that’s made just for you, then Brioni is absolutely the way to go.

Looking sharp doesn’t have to cost a fortune, but in this case, it kind of does. Here are my top picks from Brioni:

• Brown Super 150’s Virgin Wool And Silk Brunico Suit
• Royal Blue Super 200’s Virgin Wool Brunico Suit
• Beige Pre-Couture Cotton And Cashmere Suit

Keep Cosy In Canali’s Top-Shelf Outerwear

Fall is the perfect time to invest in some good quality outerwear, and there’s no better brand to do that with than Canali. At least if you dig the whole old-money-skeet-shooting-in-the-backyard vibe.

They’ve got a range of jackets, coats and vests that are sure to keep you warm all autumn long, whether you’re braving the cold or just enjoying a crisp autumn day walk.

The thing that gets me the most excited about Canali, though, is their price point.

They’re not mind-bogglingly expensive like some of the other brands on this list, but they’re still very much a high-end luxury brand.

With that in mind, here’s what I’d spend my money on:

• Two-Tone Wool And Silk Blouson
• Blue Double-Breasted Peacoat
• Blue Light Quilted Fied Jacket

Strut Proudly In Your Velasca Leather Shoes

In all honesty, I’d die without mocha suede Chelsea boots. But then again, I’m really feeling the monk straps this season. There’s just something about a well-crafted pair of designer leather shoes that makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. But, enough about me.

And when it comes to Italian leather shoes, there’s no better brand than Velasca. You just can’t beat this price to quality. Also, you can’t beat their range. They’re like Nike, but for grown-ass men.

So, if you’re looking for a new pair of shoes to help you get through the autumn months, whether that’s oxfords, loafers or laced shin-high boots; Velasca has got you covered.

I don’t think I’ve ever had a harder time coming up with a list of just three items, but here goes:

• Castagnatt Double-Monk Calf Leather Shoes
• Bersalier Suede Calf Leather Chelsea Boots
• Trombee Smooth Calf Leather Oxford Shoes

Keep Your Head Dry With A Borsalino Hat

While some will argue that hats are out of style – I beg to differ. I think a well-crafted hat can really top off any outfit.

And when it comes to hats, there’s no better brand than Borsalino. They’ve been around for over 150 years, so you know, they know a thing or two about this whole thing.

Borsalino makes a range of different hats, from trilbys to golf caps. But, my personal favourite is their fedoras. A perfect mix of sophisticated and stylish.

So, if you’re looking for a new hat to help you keep your head dry this fall, I’d definitely recommend checking out these three:

• Country Alessandria Felt Fedora
• The Bogart By Borsalino Cut 2
• Folar Large Brim

Garnish Your Fit With Rubinacci Accessories

No outfit is complete with a few accessories; especially if you want to turn some heads.

And when it comes to accessories, there’s no better brand than Rubinacci. They make a range of different accessories, from ties and pocket squares to scarves and cuff links.

They offer a few bracelets, too, although personally, I would pay them no mind. They’re overpriced and quite frankly – boring. Stick with cravats and pocket squares.

Anyway, if you’re looking for a new accessory to help you spruce up your fall wardrobe, I’d definitely recommend checking out these three:

• Silk Twill Brown Tie With Floral Print
• Armi Lilac Pocket Square
• Silk Twill Bordeaux Tie With Geometric Print

Conclusion

So, are you ready to take your fall wardrobe to the primo level? With these Italian clothing brands – nessun problema!

Just make sure you have enough cash – these things don’t come cheap. But, hey, you’re worth it. You deserve these!

The answer is with a set of killer footwear from Australia, well, Hobart in Tasmania to be precise. Blundstone boots, specifically their no nonsense footwear like the classic Chelsea Boots have been a go-to fashion item for both men and women for years, because they’re both functional and versatile.

They keep your feet warm when the temp starts to drop. We’ve put together some of our favourite autumn looks that are easy to make up with some basics that you’ll likely already have in the wardrobe. And with a brand making shoes and premium safety boots for over 150 years, you can have the faith that Blundstone deliver quality.

Rustic & Ready – Denim

When pairing your rustic brown Blundstone boots with jeans. First of all, the most important thing is to make sure your jeans are the right length. You want to be able to tuck them into your boots or roll them up so that they sit at the right length, so you’ll want to avoid jeans that are too long. After all, you want to show off your boots and having your jeans hang low over them isn’t a good look, unless intentional. 

The type of jeans you wear is also key for the ideal fit. Slim or skinny-fit jeans look cool with chunky boots because you’ll get a nice silhouette from the combo. Next, pair your denim with a button-up shirt or a casual t-shirt, try to choose one in a darker colour so it doesn’t clash with the denim. If you’re wearing blue jeans, stay away from green and blue shirts. Blue and green should never be seen!… and Blue and blue is just a little boring.

Adventurous & Casual – Shorts

You may as well make the most of the remaining warm days during the fall. Many people dismiss shorts when putting outfits together with boots, but it can create a pretty fun look if you get it right. The number one tip for wearing shorts with boots is finding styles that compliment each other.

One go-to style of shorts to wear with Chelsea boots is the standard khaki shorts, you can also pick up cool military shorts or chino shorts to give off an adventurous look. Darker-coloured shorts look perfect with brown or black boots, while lighter-coloured shorts are great with sand, beige or grey-coloured boots. A pair of chunky socks that come above the boot are a quick way to give this outfit some interest.

Cosy & Cute – Leggings

Leggings and boots go together so well, they’re practically made for each other. The best leggings for wearing with boots are those made with a thicker fabric like fleece or wool. You can wear almost any style of leggings, grey will work well with brown boots.

Matching Black leggings with a nice pair of black boots will give off a strong look and pretty much any colour of leggings can be worn with brown boots, great for any casual look. A super quick outfit to get out the house in the morning!

Formal & Fun – Blazer

Blundstones might not be the first thing you think of when you think about going to events, dinner parties or art exhibitions. Though, if you pair these boots with a cool blazer and t shirt you have yourself a versatile outfit that will project interest into any situation. Roll up the sleeves on your blazer and wear loose fitting trousers, or cropped trousers for a chilled out look. Perfect for those chilly nights during autumn. Formal doesn’t have to be boring, do your own thing in suede boots!

Pretty & Tough – Long Skirt

Longer skirts or dresses are a great way to keep warm, but they can also look stylish when paired with boots. You’ll just want to pick a skirt or a dress that is long enough to cover the tops of your boots. Wearing a skirt with a tall pair of boots can be tricky, so it’s important to choose the right style of skirt and the right type of boots. Skirts that are knee-length or longer are best for wearing with tall boots.

Mini skirts are too short to cover the tops of the boots and will look awkward if you try to pair them with taller boots. Skirts with a straight hemline are best for pairing with tall boots, as you’ll want to avoid a hem that is too thick and will make the boots look awkward. Dresses work similarly to skirts, but you’ll want to make sure that the hemline is long enough to cover the tops of your boots. Straighter hemlines are best for pairing with boots, whereas flowy hemlines will make the boots look awkward.

Unique & Playful – Mix it Up

There are no hard and fast rules, this is fashion! Make sure you stay warm and dry on those colder and wet days, but other than that you can do whatever you like. Try different colour combinations and textures such as corduroy, or why not throw on a leather jacket?

The great thing about Blundstones is being able to mix and match, they’re supposed to be a casual and easy going addition to your wardrobe, so treat them like that. We hope this has given you some ideas to be creative with the way you wear your Blundstone boots, let us know if you have any other looks that you are a big fan of that can be worn with recognisable boot brands!

Why are Blundstones so popular and are they worth it?

The Diesel Fashion collection is something fashionistas are always hyping and they have launched their FW22 collection at Milan Fashion Week and with a Kylie Jenner campaign.

Despite the bizarre outfits, Glenn Martens’s latest Diesel collection was one that was on-brand, provocative, and even a little futuristic. In the spirit of Diesel’s Fall/Winter 2022 collection, imagine finessing your winter wardrobe to look like you’ve escaped an apocalypse.

Diesel’s recent efforts to increase its commercial appeal can be seen in many of its design cues. Diesel’s logo skirts, denim-printed jumpsuits, and distressed jeans are instantly recognizable.

The more conceptual items, like the practical jumpsuits and the mossy denim sweaters, demonstrate Martens’ slight opposition to this commercialism.

Autumn/Winter 2022

At the Milan Fashion Week, Glenn Martens debuted his first live runway show for Diesel as a designer and creative director. Vogue describes Glenn Martens to be charged with doing “something magical and fantastic out of that most democratic and practical of fabrications, AKA denim, for the everyday world. On the strength of the two collections he has done thus far, he has achieved it, and how. Yet with this fall 2022 collection, we’re getting the real measure of Martens’s big ambitions for the brand.”

Martens truly embodies Diesel’s sexy, fluid, and fun spirit with a collection of 69 looks and a runway decorated with giant blow-up sculptures of seductive women dressed in denim and white tanks.

Martens did what he does best when it comes to clothing; he has combined utility with avant-garde style, roughness with refined elegance. Micro-mini skirts made from leather belts are an editorial-friendly alternative to the Miu Miu skirt set. Low-rise jeans hugged the hips but still had a loose, slouchy fit, giving them a coy but masculine look. Wearing ultra-sexy club wear from the early 2000s, models sported slinky, metallic separates with shimmering body paint.

When it came to men’s clothing, the aesthetic was decidedly more rugged. Some of Martens’ most iconic designs include distressed leathers, oversize coats made to look like matted faux fur, and futuristic sneakers with treaded soles and crisscrossed straps. Following Kanye West’s public endorsement of Diesel by dressing his ex-girlfriend Julia Fox in the brand and treating her to a hotel suite filled with Martens designs, the new collection has arrived.

The sources of inspiration for this collection go back several decades. Regarding fashion, there’s no better way to show off your retro style than by pairing a mint and pink jacket with a pair of matching micro skirts. Diesel’s aesthetic is adaptable, as evidenced by the wide range of coats on display. There is a denim trench and a distressed denim coat with a supersized silhouette. More conventional designs like a camel coat exist, but dramatic pieces like a glorious pink-ruffled jacket are what stick out in people’s minds.

Sustainable collection

Diesel has been associated with denim since its inception in 1978. In the new collection, denim is the fabric of choice, with many of the pieces coming from the Diesel Library of sustainable denim.  Securing the brand’s new motto, the Diesel Library recently made its debut and featured a great portion of sustainably produced items that will be available permanently. You don’t need to buy more frequently and can wear for a long time. From tops and skirts to jeans and shirts, it has everything. It has everything from jeans and shirts to tops and skirts.

American-made denim has taken the fashion world by storm in everything from shirts to trench coats. As a result, the colour scheme is dominated by shades of washed blue-gray. Beyond denim, you’ll find chiffon and organza dresses, leather suits and shearling flight jackets, and a bewildering array of metallic coated knit dresses. Diesel’s heritage collection includes a trench with hand-finished latex details, knitted tops, and bombers made from cutting, sewing, and dyeing old recovered jersey pieces.

Bottom line

The takeover of the brand by Martens was widely anticipated. The Y/Project creative director and ANDAM prize winner doesn’t disappoint with his latest collection for the brand. A new era of Diesel is upon us, one that is trendier and more experimental than any before it.

What to Look For in a Good Pair of Winter Boots

Winter boots are the ultimate cold weather accessory. When you walk outdoors in colds weather, your feet deserve to be warm and comfortable.

There are a few key factors that can help you decide on the right pair. First, think about the style of boot that would look best with your wardrobe. For instance, if you wear smart trousers to work every day, then it might be best to find a more sleek looking pair of boots so they don’t stick out too much. On the other hand, if you wear jeans or leggings normally, then maybe go for something more casual like a rugged boot or even a chunky heeled style.

Second, think about how much room you need in the toe area of your boots so they fit well and don’t pinch your toes. This is especially important if you have wide feet or bunions because they may cause discomfort in tight shoes or boots.

Finally, consider how important warmth is to you when selecting a pair of winter boots. Those who live in colder climates should definitely prioritize warmth over fashionable footwear. You’ll need insulated boots that will protect you from the extremely cold temperatures.

It is lightweight and very thin compared to the normal waterproof jackets that are available in the market. While it may have the facility to zip in a fleece, usually it’s a single layer.

It is a Jacket that you can use in the rainy seasons, utilizing an outer layer of material that is made up of plastic or polyester, which makes it waterproof. If you require a men’s spring jacket for the warmer months, then we have some advice on the type of waterproof that’ll suit the warmer seasons as well.

Which Lightweight Waterproof Do I Need?

For men, it can be better to choose jackets in darker colours, due to them showing fewer marks and general signs of wear and tear from being worn outside. Lightweight jackets are not suitable for winter or cold weather. It can warm you up if the weather outside is above 10 degrees Celsius but for below that temperature range, I would recommend something else like a heavier jacket which has an inner layer made of woollen materials and a quilted design.

Lightweight waterproof jackets come in a variety of designs and styles, such as single or double-layered jackets, waterproof shells with many outer pockets and hidden hoodies, etc. The waterproof body helps to keep you dry by keeping the raindrops away from your body, and at the same time, allows moisture inside due to its breathability.

Waterproof Coat Technology:

Membrane:

When you sacrifice breathability for waterproofing then your jacket is a membrane waterproof. These jackets are usually good when it comes to durability but not in terms of breathable because they don’t allow moisture outwards which results in water building up inside if you ride for long hours. Driertech and eVent are some noteworthy brands that produce only membrane lightweight waterproof jackets.

Tecashell:

This is known as the best technology when it comes to lightweight waterproof jackets with mesh lining. The inner layer of this jacket has got very small holes that guide air through them, yet at the same time block raindrops from entering inside. This means you’ll be protected against both hot and cold conditions during summer or winter respectively.

Coated:

A jacket with this technology has got an outer layer made up of rubber or plastic which repels raindrops but doesn’t allow air to pass through it. This means you’ll be protected against the rain but not against cold weather conditions. It’s good for summer months only because the air inside gets hotter due to lack of breathability throughout.

How Should It Fit?

Body Shape:

The look of a jacket depends on its fit, and if it’s too tight then you’ll feel suffocated inside. This is why the manufacturers have come up with various body shapes when designing waterproof jackets, in order for them to be compatible with people who are either petite or excessively overweight. They make both body types look good by making the underarms, hemlines, and puffs in their own way to give them a balanced figure.

Relaxed Fit:

When you’re trying to choose a waterproof jacket for yourself then it’s best to get a relaxed fit version because that way you’ll be able to wear another layer underneath but in more than one size.

Active Fit:

These jackets are known as a skin-tight fit where the insulation is less inside and it’s more flexible to move around. They’re usually designed for athletic persons who need comfort while moving their arms during the winter months.

Technical Fit:

People who are training for marathons prefer this version because the fit is relaxed in order to let you move freely. The armholes come high so they won’t restrict your shoulder movement when running or jumping, and the hemline comes long so it won’t ride up during the winter months.

Ski-Fit:

These jackets are popular among skiers because of their extra length which stays below their waistband while sliding down the slope. The hemline also comes with a rubber band that can be used to seal it at your waist when climbing steep slopes. You might not like these types but if you’re an active outdoorsman then you must get one for yourself!

How To Clean Waterproof Jackets:

Always choose a waterproof jacket which you can easily wash because these days they don’t last as long as they used to. So, make sure you remove the inner membrane before throwing them in your washing machine because it’ll get damaged if tossed inside along with other items.

If you want to keep its quality intact then I’d recommend hand-washing this fabric only. The use of soap or detergent is strictly prohibited for this purpose! If there’s any oil on it then use any shampoo to get rid of that instead of using normal soap, otherwise, it might turn sticky and damage the fabric.

It’s recommended that you air dry this type of fabric after cleaning, but if that isn’t possible then tumble dry them at low heat settings only!

Conclusion:

A waterproof jacket is an essential type of clothing even though it seems unnecessary during winter. Once you get used to wearing one then you’ll love its features such as breathable fabric, built-in sleeves and hoods, multiple pockets on the outside and inside, and adjustable draw cord waistband so you can prevent water or cold air from getting inside your jacket.

For women, the ultimate winter layering piece is a knitted cardigan. These provide style, interest and warmth to any outfit.
