Fall So Hard

Five Wearable Ways to Get Fall Right

You may have noticed a slight chill recently. This happened for two reasons: 1) almost fall, and 2) you were wearing a T-shirt. Luckily, both problems can be rectified with hoodies, jackets, sweater jackets and other wearables you can pick up in local stores. Which might come in handy for any of these autumnal happenings...

The Item: Neither Sweater Nor Jacket
THE EVENT: PATRIOTS HOME OPENER

The Item: Neither Sweater Nor Jacket

The Pats’ first home game will be divided into two camps: those wearing jackets who wish they wore a sweater, and those wearing sweaters who wish they wore a jacket. But not you. Because you’re wearing both at the same time via this unclassifiable yet decidedly dapper piece of charcoal cotton.

The Item: A Vest with Some Flexibility
THE EVENT: OKTOBERFEST

The Item: A Vest with Some Flexibility

Soon, you’ll find yourself in some beer-consuming situation loosely based on German culture. And you will not be wearing lederhosen. “No thanks,” you’ll say, “I already have this lightweight quilted vest that’s herringbone fleece on one side and poplin on the other.” And they’ll say, “How descriptive of you.”

The Item: A Hoodie. But a Wool Hoodie.
THE EVENT: BRUINS HOME OPENER

The Item: A Hoodie. But a Wool Hoodie.

According to the latest Sports Apparel Science reports, we’re still several decades away from making wool hockey jerseys. So until then, you’ll need to settle for something both warm and sporty for your Bruins spectating. This wool hoodie with classic varsity jacket details should do. You’re so hockey.

The Item: A Rather Informal Blazer
THE EVENT: HEAD OF THE CHARLES

The Item: A Rather Informal Blazer

You could watch the world’s largest two-day rowing event in 1) a standard windbreaker, or 2) an unstructured, burgundy-and-black-checked blazer that all but vocalizes the words “Made in Italy.” But only one of those will make an impression at a Winklevoss after-party. If... that’s what you’re going for.

The Item: A No-Nonsense Beeswax Jacket
THE EVENT: FALL FOLIAGE EXPEDITION

The Item: A No-Nonsense Beeswax Jacket

One of these weekends may find you appreciating leaves in Vermont with a lovely foliage enthusiast. And when that happens, you should probably be wearing a nigh indestructible, water-repellent, beeswax cotton jacket with hand-warmer pockets and brass fireman closure clips. File under “Overkill.”
