BUGATCHI’s lookbook a safe haven for trendy neutrals this fall

Browns and winter whites are on the menu this fall

BUGATCHI FW24 overcoat and sweater — BUGATCHI

The arrival of the vintage and throwback trends has caused ripples throughout the entirety of the fashion industry. Jeans are getting looser. Sweaters are getting chunkier. Snapbacks have made a comeback. Everything feels like the 90s again. But there are other effects that are taking shape as well. We can see people wearing WWII inspired jackets and watches (that may just be Glenn Powell’s influence to be fair). And we can see people start to look for inspiration even farther back than our favorite 90s trends. BUGATCHI released their 2024 Fall and Winter Lookbook and one thing stands out above the rest: They embraced the neutral tones of the mid-1900s.

Embracing the vintage look

BUGATCHI FW24 sweater and jacket — BUGATCHI

Sure, there are blues and grays, and even some loud patterns here and there. But the overall color palette of the collection has a very specific feel to it. Each and every item looks like something Don Draper would have worn in the 1960s. That doesn’t mean it is out of date. Quite the opposite in fact. The sharp winter whites contrasting with the subtle and soft fall tans and browns lends an updated aesthetic to the Mad Men colors. There are also some stellar monochromatic looks you can create with the attractive and luxurious sweaters, the contemporary suede jackets, and the accessories thrown in.

BUGATCHI has perfected the dress shirt this year with their Double OoohCotton innovation and now they leveled up again with the drop of a collection that will make you feel a little like Don Draper, and maybe even a little like Glenn Powell.

Subdued colors and luxurious fabrics define Buck Mason FW2024

Fall blues, browns, and grays dominate the collection

Buck Mason coat and sweater

The fall season is when the colors of the world begin to show off. The brilliant oranges, reds, yellows, and greens shine through the summer's looks of vegetation to remind you that, while the season is the sign that change is coming, they are still alive and well for the time being. For the man's wardrobe, that tends to be the opposite direction. While the world is showing off its majestic hues, we men tend to subdue our colors and go in for the deeper colors that don't shine as brightly. Burgundy, forest green, brown, gray, and blue seem to reign during these months. Maybe we don't want to steal the Earth's thunder. In any case, Buck Mason leaned heavily into the idea with their new fall lineup. The Buck Mason fall collection lands with a healthy grouping of cashmere, flannel, and some very select colors perfect for the autumn.
A collection of blues, grays, and browns

When you look at the new collection from one of our favorite brands, the first thing that will stand out is the commitment to the subdued hues of the fall tradition. The browns of the tweed overcoat and the rugby polo will work perfectly as you walk through the park in the changing foliage. The blues of the sport coat, suit, and denim will keep you stylishly casual in the office, and the gray scale from black to white will bring it all together in a sensationally timeless capsule that speaks volumes for the season.

Dress like Rip Wheeler on the Yellowstone Ranch with Paramount shop

Paramount shop makes it easy to show your Yellowstone love

Some series hit the screens and spread globally like a virus. Cultural phenomena like Game of Thrones, Stranger Things, and Friends changed the cultural landscape and are spoken about at water coolers all across the 9-5s. Debates and fan theories run rampant even after they go off the air. Yellowstone is the newest member of this club, as the battle for the Dutton Ranch is the talk of the breakroom once again. With the return of Rip (Cole Hauser), Beth (Kelly Reilly), Jamie (Wes Bentley), and Kayce (Luke Grimes), you may be feeling the itch to discuss the show and show your love. The Paramount x Yellowstone collection allows you to dress like your favorite character on and off the ranch.
Little nods to loud statements

Let's be real here: one of the reasons Yellowstone made such a splash was because Cole Hauser is unapologetically rugged and manly as Rip Wheeler. His ability to be charming and at the same time usher problems to the train station caused men and women everywhere to swoon for five seasons. With the Paramount x Yellowstone collection, you can invest in the suitable garments and accessories to channel your inner Rip. From his black denim Yellowstone jacket to his aviators, just pop a toothpick in your mouth, and you will have people doing what you say when you say it in fear of a trip to the train station. Of course, you could also simply get some stickers or something to show your love for the series. The choice is yours.

Wardrobe update: The men’s fall sweaters you need to complete your look

Look great in sweaters this fall

Man in black jeans, sweater, and hat

As the fall continues to barrel us towards the darker months of winter (to be clear, we love the winter for the chance to wear our favorite jackets and coats, but the days are shorter), the weather reminds us that we need to upgrade our closets. While you can break out the heavier fabrics and start wearing your best lightweight jackets, one inescapable truth is that you must ensure you have a great sweater to get you through to spring. Of course, that means we get to go shopping and find all of our favorites (we shamelessly rise to this occasion with not a small amount of excitement). These are the ones we came up with.
Bugatchi Mixed Stitch Turtleneck Sweater

There is no better flex than mastering the style of turtlenecks. They are a classic men's staple and, therefore, should be something you figure out how to wear for yourself. While you do that, invest in the most high-quality and stylish options. There are a lot of them out there, but this one from Bugatchi is our favorite for the year. The chunky turtleneck will often be the statement piece, so it needs to speak. This one has a thunderous voice but somehow isn't overbearing.
