Men: Fall Style Essentials

Dressing for fall can be tricky. In many parts of the country, there are warm days but crisp evenings well into September or October. The key to being stylish and comfortable during these temperature swings? Layering.

You want to be able to peel off a layer if you’re too warm, in the office for example, and add a layer when you step outside. Polo Ralph Lauren has lots of fall-friendly layered looks.

For a casual date, this rugby sweater looks great with an earthy plaid sportshirt and jeans or chinos.

If you’re running out for errands or just hanging out with the fellas, this fleece track jacket works great over a polo shirt.

A sweater vest is perfect for adding a little warmth. Pair this one with a sportshirt and chinos for a great work look. Dress this look up more by adding a tie.


A sweater paired with a contrasting polo shirt or sportshirt underneath also works with jeans for a more causal look or chinos for work.

A feminine maxi dress encompasses both of these requirements. Combining oversize sunglasses and stacked bangles  will have people wondering if you are with band. Amp up the chic factor with a bohemian cross-body bag that keeps your tickets, and sharpie for autographs, close at hand.
