on Fits: Autumn Staples You Should Jump on Right the Fuck Now
Autumn is now in full effect, and that means it’s time to start layering like a motherfucker. If you actually give a shit about your style, layering is either a fun way to start your day or an annoying clusterfuck of a project that you suffer through each morning. Hey, I get it. More layers means more ways to shit the bed. The once-so-reliable, foolproof go-to of a white tee, jeans, and Vans are no longer viable options. Now you have to add sweaters, hoodies, jackets, and hats into the mix. Before you know it, you’re out in public wearing six different pieces of clothing, all in different colors and patterns, looking sloppy as fuck.
Enter autumn staples. Below is a list of the basics to get you through the next couple of months, with links provided because I’m truly a great guy and will always be here for you. So get a few of each, mix and match without worry because these pieces are all neutral in color, and pretty soon this whole getting dressed thing will become the easiest part of your day.
QUALITY T-SHIRTS
Men keep things forever. This is good when it comes to shit that ages well, like quality T-shirts and leather jackets, less good when it comes to Facebook profile photos.
I usually go with Banana Republic because they wear well, look great after multiple washes, and rarely fade with time. Are they pricier? Sure. But you can always just get some from the Outlet. It’s the same shit.
BLACK JEANS
Jeans are the only item of clothing guys wear until they literally fall apart. If you've ever experienced a crotch blowout, you know what I mean. They're my go-to pants for any occasion that doesn't require a suit, which thankfully is every day. Black jeans just go with everything. They’re slimming. They look better with age.
I usually get mine at Mugsy. $130 or so a pop, but fit great out of the bag. If you want a cheap option that will require some breaking in, h&m’s ain’t too shabby.
JACKETS
Alright, this one’s important because I have no idea when these sales are gonna end. Jump on these immediately because it’s the absolute best bang for your buck and these coats will last you forever.
BR Navy Peacoat: $165
BR Denim Jacket: $60
BOOTS
Doesn’t matter which way we cut it, there’s no way you’re spending less than $150 for the quality investment that is your new favorite pair of boots.
Dr. Martens Core 1460: $170
Astorflex Bootflex: $169
Thorogood 814-4200: $180
Thursday Boots’ President: $199
Thursday Boots’ Diplomat: $199
THESE FUCKING SOCKS
These are the greatest socks right now, in the world. I will bet my next paycheck on it. Gap’s socks currently sit at $12.50 a pop, but there is probably some sale going on through the end of the year on their site or some shit.
