Make sure this classic is part of your wardrobe this season. You can try out the denim-on-denim trend by wearing it with darker jeans, or pair with corduroys or chinos. For a casual look, check out this denim shirt from Topman.
- Wool suit

The wool suit is a timeless classic and will provide extra warmth during fall and winter. Shop around to find one that is tailored to fit you like a glove. A well-made suit is not cheap, but it is an investment worth making. We love the Ludlow suit in English Donegal tweed from J.Crew.
