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 That doesn’t mean it is out of date.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.

Bonobos is preparing you to look great for the holidays

Look great while you celebrate good times

Bonobos Holiday collection at a subway stop

As the holidays start to explode into full swing, we are preparing to attend parties and get-togethers ranging from casual attire to formal attire. If you are looking for the right kind of ensemble to wear to your office party (gotta make the boss happy and look like you want to be there) or for your family (gotta make your mom happy and still leave enough stretch to eat all that is put in front of you) then Bonobos is thinking about you. The Bonobos holiday collection is a selection of pieces put together to help you look your best without having to think about anything other than spreading holiday cheer throughout the season.
Everything from casual to dress

The trick to dressing for a holiday party comes down to festive comfort. You want to be comfortable, and Bonobos has Performance Link Pants in seven different colors to help you add some color to the office party. You can also elect to go a little higher elevation by putting together the Empire Super 150s suit; only swap out the dress shirt for a luxurious Merino Sweater. If you want something a little more casual for mom's house, the Five-Pocket Corduroy Pants or the Flannel-lined denim is the perfect fit. Top either of those looks with a Cashmere Top Coat or Italian Wool Car Coat and you will be ready for anything from an office party to a family get-together or even drinks on the town if you want to keep it simple this season.
