Style Manual: A Guide to Fall’s Leading Menswear Trends

It’s hard to believe that summer has effectively vanished already, leaving us all to transition into cozy layers, warm knits, and out respective assortments of outerwear. To be fair, it’s not all bad — more layers means more diversity of attire, as well as a new season’s worth of new collections on the market from our favourite designers of all shapes and sizes. Proportion, structure, materials, and patterns are all proving quite playful this season, as you’ll see below. Our most recent Book For Men photoshoot covers all the key bases, and throws in a few surprises for good measure.

Unexpected Suiting

Just because the occasion requires dressing up doesn’t mean it has to be boring. Have fun with tailored looks that go beyond the usual colourways, fabrics, and cuts.
