Our top five favorite pieces from the Ted Baker Labor Day Sale

The Manual may earn a commission when you buy through links on our site.

Don’t English gentleman always seem to nail the sartorial look? The Italians are a little OTT (paisley on floral!), the French are pretty boring in black, but the English can look sharp as a tack without even trying. That’s why we love Ted Baker.

Founded in Glasgow in 1988, the brand is well known for more affordable yet quintessential British menswear (They makes clothes for the ladies too!). Having grown from the UK to Europe, Asia and Australia, Ted Baker is now a global empire and we are very thankful they are stateside too.

The Ted Baker Labor Day sale only runs until, well, Labor Day (Monday, folks!) so click while you can.

There is a plethora of pieces we crave on the site, but here are our top five:

  1. Graphic floral navy shirt

You still have about a month for short sleeves (minus our friends down South who can wear this till Christmas), so rock this while you can or save it up for next spring. We are big fans of the floral graphic and it can look good under a sweater too.

  1. Gray woven blazer

Consider this blazer your go-to for early fall and early spring. This may be tailored, but it is not constricting and will look great anywhere from the office to the bar.

  1. Geo print cotton long sleeve shirt

Are you as tired of gingham as we are? Try this refreshing signature geometric print instead. It’s not too loud, but has enough going on to warrant a double take from Lisa in the PR department.

  1. Blue crew neck sweater

This crew neck wool sweater is light enough to wear through the rest of the fall (especially with your blazer!) and it’s horizontal stripes give it a little distinction from the other sweaters in your closet.

  1. Single button blue pants

Drawstrings are for the gym. To complete the look try out these comfy blue pants that are tailored, yet still have a bit of give. Finish it off with your favorite belt and you’re ready to run the place.

For the love of Italy: Hockerty releases 14 looks with inspiration from 14 Italian locations
Blazer, Clothing, Coat

I am a traveler at heart. Every day, I wake up and have coffee, and stare out the window at a world still full of wonders and mysteries I have yet to uncover. Since the day I joined the Army, my heart has always been on the road, in the sky, or aboard a ship. The idea that there is a part of the world I have yet to see is both exhilarating and frustrating. Chasing those undiscovered corners of the world started as a passion and an experiment and became a way of life and an addiction. I say all that to say, I find inspiration on the road. I see the world around me as a canvas for my imagination.

I am also a menswear fanatic. From selling suits to writing about them, a good suit is always in my bag with me. So when a brand I love, Hockerty being a favorite, finds inspiration in a place, I pay attention. I wrote about their summer edit a while ago, with their colors at the forefront of my attention. But I missed something. I missed that all fourteen looks they debuted were inspired by different places in Italy.

Citizen is adding a new limited-edition model to its Tsuyosa Shore line, and it’s got a great look to it if I say so myself.

The Tokyo-based watchmaker’s new drop features a deep black dial, with a gradient effect and a textured surface that catches light differently depending on the angle.

The German company has been making square watches out of Glashütte since 1992, when the Tetra launched alongside the Tangente, Ludwig, and Orion. (Fun fact: the name Glashütte is a legally protected designation of origin.)
