As temperatures start to drop, sweaters inevitably become the foundation of our wardrobes. Crewnecks offer the versatility of looking comfortable and cool without even trying. Whether it’s a heavyweight sweatshirt or patterned jacquard fine knit, there’s a crewneck sweater out there for you.

The crewneck is a classic sweatshirt that was originally an all-cotton jersey but has made its way into men’s wardrobes and has become a staple. The crewneck is simply called a sweatshirt and has a round neck with no collar. Here’s our roundup of the most eye-catching crew necks for every occasion.

Men’s fashion tips: How to wear corduroy pants this fall and winter
Making an old fashioned classic stylish
Corduroy fabric

Alright, gents, let's talk about corduroy. Corduroy pants, to be specific. Many of you may feel that corduroy, in general, is old-fashioned, something of the past that needs to be left there. And honestly, there are some pretty legitimate reasons you feel that way. For instance, the fabric was initially created for and fit perfectly as workwear in the 1800s. It was tough and flexible, making it a desired garment for factory work. Then, it was adopted by the military in WWII (namely by the Women's Land Army -- you're welcome for that point at trivia night).

However, it rose to fashion prominence when anti-establishment advocates wore it in the 1960s and 1970s. People like Woody Allen, Bob Dylan, and Pablo Picasso made it famous. Even The Beatles were said to have singlehandedly saved the fabric by England's President of the Board of Trade. So, being loved by that era makes us feel that our fathers and grandfathers own corduroy, but as you already know, we are living in our own era of "What is old is new," and we have to learn how to wear corduroy the right way today. Here is how you wear it the way those icons of the past did.

Men’s fashion made simple: Taylor Stitch introduces functional capsules
Capsules perfect for work and play

As guys, we love simplicity. Don't make us think too hard about something that feels inconsequential or we will dismiss it and move on to more important things in life. What we wear has always fallen into that category. Don't make style or fashion too complicated or we will just wear what is comfortable and focus our brains on something else entirely. American mainstay brand Taylor Stitch always looks to challenge the fashion industry by finding new, better, and more responsible ways to source, sew, and sell their product. Now, they have moved to making comfort, style, and functionality all simple and accessible through the release of their first-ever outdoor capsule and the return of their workwear capsule.

Luke McAlpine, VP of Brand for Taylor Stitch, comments on the launches. “We’ve put a ton of work into these capsules with the goal being to offer a range of overbuilt gear that connects to the kind of multifaceted lifestyle we and our customers live. We’re especially excited to be able to re-introduce our Made in USA Good Acre line as part of our fall assortment.”

The best fall running gear for men to run in comfort
We've got the lowdown on gear you need to stay comfortable as the weather gets colder

Fall weather is often the sweet spot for running. With the sweltering, muggy summer runs in the rearview mirror and the frigid winds and icy roads of the winter yet to come, autumn has bright, sunny skies and dry, crisp air that leaves your lungs and legs feeling like you could float along the roads or trails for miles upon miles. Fall is an ideal season to run a marathon or step up your training before the darkness and cold of winter descends.
That said, fall weather can be variable -- bridging the gap between the hot summer, where you aim to wear as little as you can get away with, and the freezing winter, where you’re decked out in multiple layers to cover every inch of exposed skin. Your fall running wardrobe should have light, breathable options for shorts, pants, short- and long-sleeved tops, and a light running jacket or vest. Depending on the climate in which you live and your personal preference, running gloves and a thin hat can also be helpful. To help you fully enjoy each and every run this fall in comfort, our top picks for the best fall running gear for men are below.
