Men’s Fall Must-Have #1: Quilted Sport Coat

Guys aren’t that complicated so the list of fashion must-haves is short not to mention for fall. I hypothesize that fall is THE favorite season for men because, in general, it fits into their style ethos of relaxed, cool, simple but comfortable. If that’s the case then there are FOUR fall must-haves for every man. So as not to inundate you with to-do’s, we’ll provide one each week for the next four weeks. Just keepin’ it simple.
