24/7: Relax in Style
Wear a Pinwale Corduroy Sports Jacket
There are certain things our dads wore better than anyone. Corduroy isn’t one of them. But these softer, lighter versions don’t bring to mind key parties or shag carpeting. You can go from errand to gallery to dinner in this jacket and never feel stodgy or underdressed.
Throw on a Wash-and-Wear Button-Front Shirt
If there was ever a shirt made for the weekend away, this is it. Stuff it in your bag and it will come out looking exactly how it’s supposed to. The more rumpled the better.
Rock a Rugby Shirt
Wear lighter, more fitted rugby shirts that hug, rather than slouch off, your shoulders.They’ll look good on any guy whether or not he knows the difference between a line-out and a scrum.
Pair Your White Sneakers with Gray Flannel Pants
A lot of guys see all-white sneakers and they think Jerry Seinfeld. Doesn’t have to be that way. Try old-school lace-ups with a pair of gray flannel pants—it’s a way to dress up the kicks while dressing down the pants.
Pull On a V-neck
A V-neck is about as foolproof as a sweater can be. Warm without being hot, it’s easy to layer. Go for a navy one, over a white collared shirt, to accentuate what’s left of your fading summer tan.
Stay Warm With a Chunky Sweater
Cable-knit sweaters provide enough heft to be worn on their own, even as daylight starts dwindling. Camel hues look good with any skin tone and will set you apart from those who think winter must mean black.
Get a Pair of Slim Khakis
If you’ve resisted khakis because they’re too yellow/pleated/high-waisted, here’s a reason to reconsider. Cement-toned slim-fit khakis are the perfect pants to add to your weekend routine of all-jeans-all-the-time. And like denim, they don’t require ironing and can be worn with just about anything.
