Editor’s Letter

September 2024

Sally Morris Editor-in-chief Welcome, gentlemen, to our September issue – a pivotal moment in the fashion calendar where we bid farewell to summer’s carefree vibes and usher in the sophisticated allure of autumn.

As the leaves begin their annual metamorphosis, so too does our wardrobe. September marks that delightful transition where we can experiment with layering, introducing richer textures and deeper hues to our ensembles. It’s a time when the crisp morning air calls for a light jacket, yet the lingering warmth of afternoon sun still permits a hint of summer’s ease.

This month, we’re celebrating the art of layering. From lightweight merino wool sweaters over crisp button-downs to tailored blazers atop casual tees, the possibilities are endless. We’ll guide you through mixing textures – think corduroy with silk, or tweed with fine cotton – to create depth and interest in your outfits.

Our fashion spreads this issue are awash with the colors of fall. Rich burgundies, deep forest greens, warm caramels, and muted mustards take center stage. We’ll show you how to incorporate these autumnal hues into your existing wardrobe, whether through statement pieces or subtle accessories.

As we step into autumn, our footwear choices evolve. We’re showcasing the latest in Chelsea boots, brogues, and loafers – versatile options that seamlessly transition from office to evening engagements. And for those casual weekend strolls? We’ve got you covered with stylish yet comfortable sneakers that complement the season’s aesthetic.

Don’t overlook the power of accessories to elevate your autumn look.

From wool scarves and leather gloves to statement watches and sleek umbrellas (because let’s face it, autumn rain is inevitable), we’ll guide you through selecting pieces that not only serve a purpose but also enhance your overall style.

This September, let’s embrace the changing season with open arms and impeccable style. Here’s to autumn – a time of transformation, both in nature and in our wardrobes.

We look forward to inviting you next month, celebrating the autumn season in full swing, in our Swanky Men’s October Issue!
