Editor’s Letter

October 2024

Sally Morris Editor-in-chief Welcome to this month’s Swanky Mens October Issue, gentlemen, and welcome to the full swing of the autumn season!

As the leaves turn golden and the air grows crisp, it’s time to transition our wardrobes for the cooler months ahead. This autumn, we’re seeing a beautiful blend of classic staples and contemporary twists in menswear.

October is all about mastering the art of layering. Start with a crisp white Oxford shirt, add a cozy cashmere sweater, and top it off with a tailored blazer or a rugged leather jacket. This versatile approach allows you to adapt to the unpredictable autumn weather with style.

This season’s color palette draws inspiration from nature’s autumnal hues. Rich browns, deep greens, and warm oranges are dominating the fashion landscape. Don’t be afraid to mix and match these earthy tones for a sophisticated, seasonally appropriate look.

October is the perfect time to experiment with textures.

Incorporate corduroy trousers, wool overcoats, and chunky knit sweaters into your wardrobe. These tactile fabrics not only provide warmth but also add depth and interest to your outfits.

As we step into autumn, it’s time to retire those summer loafers and opt for more substantial footwear. Chelsea boots, brogues, and desert boots in rich leather or suede are excellent choices that pair well with both casual and formal attire.

Complete your October looks with carefully chosen accessories. A soft wool scarf, leather gloves, and a stylish fedora or flat cap can elevate your outfit while providing practical warmth.

This October, embrace the changing season with a wardrobe that’s both functional and fashionable. Remember, true style is about feeling confident and comfortable in what you wear.

Experiment with these trends, but always stay true to your personal aesthetic.

As we look ahead to November, we eagerly anticipate wrapping up the autumn season with our issues dedicated to the final golden days of fall. At the same time, we’ll begin to set our sights on the approaching winter months and the festive Christmas season that follows. See you there!
