Fall/Autumn Menswear Inspo You Need To Steal!

What's up everyone, welcome back to the channel and welcome to another video. It's that time again, it's time for the fits of the week, where I bring you some of the best menswear fits from around the socials, just in time for some weekend inspiration. Before we jump into it, I'd just like to ask if you get anything from this video at all, you can hit the like and subscribe button. Check out archerinwoods.com for pre-owned menswear and sign up to my sub stack. It's called The Guidance, it's basically a newsletter I send out with a big list of pre-owned items I find from all the resale sites. From the brands you probably know and love if you watch this channel. Brands like Drake's, Buck Mason, Natalino. And I send it out two or three times a week. Along with some general randoms as well. I'll put a link in the description for that. And also I'll put a link for my Instagram page as well. If you like these sort of like menswear inspiration videos. I do them a few times a week as well on there in just a shorter form. But enough about that. Let's get into these fits. So first up we're going to start off with more of a collaboration rather than one individual outfit. So Orban is a brand I've got to know really well over the last couple of years. I've worked with them, they're some of the nicest people you can meet in menswear and they have collaborated with style icon Ben Cobb. So Ben Cobb, if you're unaware, I'll put his picture here or here. He's worked with numerous different fashion publications and just has this really iconic style. As I say, very 70s aesthetic. Lots of structure, a fantastic moustache, and I actually got to meet him the other day. I went to the Aubin event they had at their store in Soho, which sort of was showing off these new pieces and got to chat with him for quite a bit. I used to shoot him at Fashion Week as well. When I was a photographer, I used to take street style shots. And hopefully I can find one of the images of him if I put it up, if I can. And He'd always always be someone I'd look out for because I just loved his style and what they've done together is use Aubin's British sort of love of British heritage and Ben's aesthetic and merge it together and they've created something. I just am a big big fan of. So we've got a lot of fabrics like tweed and herringbone in that sort of structured silhouette with big lapels and really there's a really lovely overcoat in there as well, this double-breasted overcoat in there. Just amazing fabrics, colours and they've been just very brave with it which is something I feel like I really appreciate with this whole thing because I think a lot of brands would look at this and say yes, well we'll lean into it a little bit but we'll we want to keep things uh like relatively modern or we would want to make the the imagery sort of like in a sort of modern way but they've just gone full hog into it the imagery is fantastic items look great i i got to see a good few people wear them at that event and one of the sort of i wouldn't say concerns one of the thoughts i had was is it going to be very wearable um because a lot of this stuff is very stylized and we're all very used to wearing soft shoulders now a lot of italian Italian sort of silhouettes and I saw a couple of people wear their pattern jackets with just a t-shirt and jeans and it looked great. Just absolutely a big fan of just something different. And normally with this sort of this aesthetic, you'd have to spend a lot of money to get it or you have to go vintage. So for me personally, going vintage, I always found really tough with that sort of style because the fit's just a bit off. The material is very heavy. You get that sort of musty smell going on. Sometimes the materials just aren't the best. So with this, you still get. A well made piece but their price point is very approachable as well so I just love that. We've now got something we can go to that if you wanted to play around with that aesthetic, add some pieces into your wardrobe you can do that at a very approachable price point. So next up we actually have a couple looks from Brice Lands because they're good. I mean I saw these before coming on and I was like yeah both of these have to go in. So first up we have this double-breasted charcoal suit and By the way, they've got Andre Lano modeling as well, who I'm a big fan of, who has had so much character to any campaign he's on. With this, they've paired it with a chocolate brown roll neck, and then they've got an image of him with a shirt and tie as well. It just goes to show the versatility of a charcoal suit especially like charcoal flannel flannel suit it's just something you can wear with just a regular t-shirt underneath or like a crew neck sweater shirt and a tie, roll neck, you can, denim shirt you can just get so many great looks out of it it's got that sort of tactile feel as well a bit of movement to it um it's just one of my favorite pieces you could possibly have in your wardrobe and this is a great example of it like things that really stick out to me the shoulders the length of that that jacket proportionally absolutely spot on uh the pleats of the trousers It's just a perfect example. Then they've dropped this other image, which I just saw before coming on, of this patterned jacket. So they've picked this, I mean, there's browns, there's greens, there's beiges, yellows in there. I think maybe a bit of blue as well. Just an absolutely amazing fabric. And they paired it with some double denim here. I just absolutely love the colours in there. Proportionally again with this one. Absolutely spot on as well with this jacket. But I just find it such an... It's a bold jacket, but it's not because the colours are relatively muted or in the same sort of tonal realm. We see a lot of check jackets, but it's when you get something like this that's just really different, but also super wearable at the same time. That's what I'm really interested in. I think this is an absolute beauty. And they've also paired it in other outfits with a shirt and a tie. and then a like a navy cable knit jumper as well just to show you can get a ton of wear out of it too and with that same idea i've gone for this outfit for our next one so this is god.oc on instagram as you can see here another bit of tailoring with denim and it's something that i find i think a lot of people get wrong i just feel there's a lot of little moving parts you have to get right and i think a part of that is your physique as well So when I'm doing it, because I'm not particularly tall, I'm quite broad, I need a wide leg trouser, I need the jacket to be, to have the right sort of size to it as well. Going slim on the trouser is, or slimmer on the jacket, just doesn't work at all. It's also that the rise of the trouser as well is super, super important. You see here, we've kind of got a mid-rise, so you don't have to go like super high rise, and with a sort of like straight leg jean. I've just gone with some suede loafers to keep the warmth there, so you've got the coolness of the jeans. Then the main star of the show is this top half. Bit of a monochrome look, but so much going on there. It's just like the pattern of the jacket, the tie, I think it's a green shirt going on. But because those colours are within the same sort of wheelhouse, it kind of looks effortless for want of another word. Like it's like... It's a very complex piece, a very complex combination, but because the colours fit in so well, it's almost like you don't notice it. And I think that's just the beauty of this outfit, absolutely. It's completely so. Big, big fan of that and I like the way he wears it casually with the, again with the jeans, but also like baseball cap. It's very, very cool and a really good follower as well. I've gone pretty brand heavy today but there's been a lot coming out. So we've got Motine and Myles Pereira here who have been on the Fits of the Week countless times over the last few years and they are shooting for Natalino who are doing their first foray into evening wear. So I actually don't own any black attire. I don't have anything at all. I've had to go to a few events and I've sort of like fudged it a little. I do need to buy something like this. But what I've done here which is really important is kept that soft silhouette, so soft shoulders. I think that just makes it really approachable for someone that's not really into wearing something more structured or is a bit reluctant into So either investing in their evening wear or just doesn't want to go to that sort of like dress up for a black tie event it just adds that little bit of comfort a little bit of something you're more probably used to most of us are wearing stuff with softer shoulders now. So it's just more approachable and I think that's a really nice option to have and also of course with Natalino they have a very the price point um is a really reasonable price point. I actually don't know what um these are going for at the moment actually I might as well just check while I've got my phone here. So we've got uh their Peak Lapel dinner jacket uh so it's uh £595 the trousers are £295. You can also get the full shebang so you've got the bow tie for £95 A poplin white shirt for 170 and then they've also got some belgian loafers as well on offer for 225 So, you know if you want the one-stop shop if you're going out, it's a really great option Um, especially if you prefer a bit of a softer silhouette as well So finally today we have Josh Hartnett in this all gray ensemble. So we've got some pleated, uh chalk stripe wool trousers Uh, oh some brown suede loafers a gray, uh, like crew neck sweater and then this um, prince of wales check overcoat What you can see he's done here is going for that classic light mid and dark tone thing especially if you're going monochrome it's a really good tool to use not absolutely necessary it just helps to put together an outfit if you're a bit unsure so having the lighter tone with the coat you've got the darker tone with the sweater and then the mid-tone with the trousers just makes the thing sit a bit more cohesively although again not a rule but I like it. I mean grey as in terms of monochrome, grey is one of my favourite colours in which to do that. I think especially if you've got like a little bit of a tan as well, it can really bring that through like Josh has got here. And I think it's just a nice outfit. It's just nice to see celebrities dressing well. But anyway guys, there were today's fits. Let me know in the comments below which one was your favourite.
