We know it’s still the middle of August and boiling outside, but you know what will arrive in the next few weeks—Fall, and therefore the best season in fashion. Finally, we can layer pieces again and create looks that will not just scream I don’t want to melt. We thought it would be nice to start with the basics and present 5 looks to you that will act as the foundation to your Fall wardrobe.
What pieces do you need in Fall 2023?
While we love to show you our favorite new pieces on a regular basis, you don’t have to buy a complete new wardrobe every season. Here is a list of pieces for Fall that are essentials.
- (Faux) Leather Sneakers: This may be the most obvious pick for Fall, but a comfortable pair of sneakers, that is also waterproof, will probably be your best friend in the upcoming season.
- Cargo Pants: As they have become a staple in any men’s wardrobe over the last years, it is vital that you swap your cargo shorts for a long version of cargo pants. As they are a great alternative for your basic pair of blue jeans, we suggest you pull them out for Fall 2023.
- Hoodies: This is the favorite piece for you and your (potential) significant other. Because Hoodies have a tendency to get stolen from your wardrobe, it is best to stack up on them.
- Rain Jacket: One thing that dims our excitement for Fall is the rain. But since nobody can change the weather, it is best to come prepared. With a nice rain jacket, you’ll get everywhere dry and stylish.
- Cap: In the best case, you already have a cap from summer that will also work for Fall. If not, go take a look at our suggestions. Whether the sun is still shining or the rain is pouring, a cap will give you the protection you need at all times.
Our Basic Fall Looks for Men
So, enough talking, we have created some looks for you that will make the transition from summer to fall really easy for you. A bonus we have incorporated in some of our collages are our favorite perfumes, that will also add to your overall appearance. Enjoy!
1. The First Fall Look
- H&M – Relaxed Fit Hoodie
- COS – Basic T-Shirt
- H&M – Relaxed Fit Work Pants
- Adidas – Samba OG
- Acqua di Parma – Colonia
Our first Fall Outfit is reusing your white jeans from Spring or Summer. Combined with the chocolate brown hoodie and the adidas Samba sneakers, the look is cool and effortless. In order to smell just as good as you’ll look in that outfit, we suggest the Acqua di Parma scent Colonia. It is a citrus scent that will bring you back to Italy or your European summer, and therefore prolong your summer feeling.
2. The Second Fall Look
- ZARA – Grey Sweater
- WEEKDAY – Kip Puffer Vest
- Uniqlo – Shoulder Bag
- ZARA – Cargo Pants
- Adidas – Samba OG
This look is a toned down version of the utility trend. The cargo pants and the sleeveless puffer are what makes this look interesting. The gray sweater from Zara is a great all-rounder, that will work for any occasion. Our favorites of the season, the belt bag from Uniqlo and the adidas Samba will complete this look, and you will be ready to take on the Fall weather.
3. The Third Fall Look
- Uniqlo – AIRism T-Shirt
- Uniqlo – Teddyfleece Jacket
- Tom Ford – Fucking Fabulous Perfume
- H&M- Black Cargo Pants
- Nike – P-6000 Sneakers
It is time to get cozy with this Uniqlo Teddyfleece jacket. This monochrome look doesn’t require lots of thought and is perfect for those days, when you just can’t be bothered to change up your style game. Nonetheless, the silver sneakers from nike and our perfume pick from Tom Ford will give you a cool and luxurious aura. Fucking Fabulous, the scent from Tom Ford will work for anyone that loves oriental and exotic scents. Click on the link above to find out more about this perfume.
4. The Forth Fall Look
- H&M – Regular Fit Jersey Shirt
- Weekday – David Jacket
- New Era – League Essential LA Cap
- ZARA – Cargo Pants
- Salomon – XT-6 Sneaker
Here is a look for those grim rainy days. We know, not the most pleasant thing about Fall. You imagine the wet leaves that color the whole scenery in a golden hue. Not so bad anymore, right? The rain jacket from Weekday will also bring a bit of lightness into your day. Not only the material is light like a feather, the light green is what brightens the entire look. The casual pants and long sleeve are basics that anyone should have in their wardrobe. With the cap from New Era and the Salomon sneakers, you will withstand any kind of storm.
5. The Fifth Fall Look
- H&M – Regular Fit Jersey Shirt
- H&M – StormMove Shell Jacket
- New Era – League Essential LA Cap
- Vans – UA Authentic Sneakers
- ZARA – Parachute Pants
To tie in our guide on Fall fashion, we finish off with another more neutral look in the colors of Fall. Again we thought about the rain, sorry to all our sun lovers. The H&M shell jacket will make the drops of rain pearl off you and not make you soaking wet. But still, if you remove the jacket, your outfit will look whole. The cargo pants, the Vans sneakers and the basic long sleeve T-Shirt give off the skater boy vibe that Avril Lavigne already loved in 2002 (we feel old now).
For all of you that are not into the basic outfits, we have a guide just like this one on the new Starboy Trend, that is all over TikTok right now. If a more preppy style is yours, check out the Old Money guide or our Quiet Luxury article. Hope to find you back for more Fall content soon!
