Getting Ahead of the Season: Transitional Style for Guys

As we head into September, it’s time to look ahead and prepare for the cooler months to come.  

The changing seasons call for a cohesive and functional wardrobe that will last over many years. Garments that you can rely on to seamlessly lead you into Autumn and through the Winter means you can invest, knowing they will stand the test of time.  

We’ve created these high-quality, staple items with transitional dressing in mind. Whether you have a love for the iconic denim jacket or want to take a little inspiration from the American outback, we have something for you. 

Overshirts are key to the changing seasons. Layering up for that walk in the park or hike through the hills allows you to drop a few layers when you arrive indoors whilst retaining that signature look. It’s easy to get wrong but when it’s right, it appears effortless.  

The season for the overshirt and nothing beats our YUKON Buffalo Plaid. Designed to come up slightly larger than our other shirts allowing for plenty of layering. The 295g Portuguese flannel will keep out the cold and add a punch of colour to your outfit.  

If you want something as equally cool but slightly more understated try our Boulder Shirt. This muted palette provides an ideal layering garment to be worn with almost anything and is perfect for the transitional season. 

Our Ryder jackets are &SONS classics. As the most versatile and wearable pieces of the transitional period, they were originally worn by cowhands. They served to keep the dust and wind off the cowboy and acted as an essential layer, built to withstand tough conditions and perfect for those colder days. 

Our Ryder Canvas Jacket is a combination of style and durability, made from a hardwearing, heavyweight, raw canvas that will age and fade the more you wear it. Wear the RYDER as an over-shirt, keep the base layer simple and add a punch of colour with our Red Pioneers Bandana and Brown Leather Toggle.   

A Denim Jacket should be a staple in every man’s wardrobe, it holds the ability to be dressed up or down giving you the ultimate versatility. Every major denim brand went on to design and create variants of this silhouette in the form of a ‘Railroad’ for rail workers which was in fact tested by labourers for its durability making it the perfect addition to any high-quality collection.   

If it’s sharper layers you’re looking for then introduce our YARD shirt and a pair of our Virgil Chino to complete a look that’s ideal for social and studio life. 

Good denim holds a special place in our hearts and we don’t come short with options either. Choosing the right pair is not a decision we recommend taking lightly. 

You want your jeans to fit well and make you feel great! It’s all about the details, the cut, and choosing the right pair for your lifestyle.  

Our New Frontier Jeans are built to last. Over time these jeans just get better and better, bringing out all the fine qualities of traditional denim. The Nova blue colour of this fabric gives it a dark, saturated pure indigo cast resulting in a really strong contrast once worn in. 

Pair with our Handmade Leather braces for true Heritage style along with our Raw Elder Henley and Drover Boots. 

The Cutter Jean is one of our most sustainable selvedge denim styles yet. The fabric is organic cotton which has less impact than regular cotton as less water and pesticides are used in the production of the cotton. With a 1950s-inspired, heritage fit, this indigo jean features a unique bootstrap adjuster on the leg opening and our &SONS signature chore pocket. Due to the light washing process, this jean has a low environmental impact making them a good choice for your next wardrobe investment.  

Pair with any of our shirts and some canvas trainers for a retro look. 

For elevated comfort and casual dressing choose a wool cardigan. Our styles include a sharp silhouette and shawl collar made with soft, heavy British wool for comfort. 

The Pioneer Cardigan features a ribbed collar, cuff, and hem, as well as the classic 5 leather buttons on the front. This is comfort, warmth, and style in one garment. 

These pieces are perfect for the Autumn season as they’re easy to style and have an effortlessly cool look. Wear with your favourite denim and throw on a T-shirt underneath for a simple but sophisticated style.
