When temperatures begin to fall, wool becomes a natural choice. Wool, known for its warmth and breathability, has been a staple in menswear for generations and continues to be one of the most versatile fabrics. One of it's biggest advantage is it's ability to regulate temperature, so instead of just trapping heat, wool creates a comfortable layer between you and the elements, making it perfect for crisp fall mornings and colder winter weather. For a more polished seasonal wardrobe, look for wool in different weights and textures, a lightweight wool jacket can transition easily from early fall to winter, while heavier wool pieces provide additional warmth when the temperature really drops.
Best for: Fall and winter suits, sportcoats, trousers, sweaters, and outerwear.
Linen is often associated with warm-weather dressing and while it is very lightweight and naturally breathable, that doesn't mean you have to put it away as soon as summer ends. Linen can work perfectly during the transition into fall, particularly when it is incorporated into layering pieces or combined with other fibers. A linen shirt under a lightweight jacket or linen-blend trouser paired with a knit can create a relaxed, textured look that feels appropriate for the season without being overly heavy. Linen's natural texture is also part of it's appeal, it brings an effortless, relaxed quality to everything from tailoring to casual separates.
Best for: Trousers and traditional-season layering with t-shirts and dress shirts
Fabric Blends: Best of Both Worlds
Cotton is known as the everyday foundation. With it's lightweight, breathable, and comfortability, cotton is the fabric to wear year round and does particularly well during transitional seasons. Cotton shirts, chinos, sweaters, and casual jackets can provide just the right amount of comfort without feeling too heavy. Another advantage of cotton is it's versatility, a crisp cotton shirt can be dressed up with trousers while a cotton knit or overshirt can give a more relaxed look and since cotton comes in so many weights and finishes, don't think of it strictly as a warm-weather fabric, heavier cotton tolls and brushed cottons can easily carry into the cooler months.
Best for: Shirts, chinos, overshirts, casual jackets, and layering
