Fall is the season when chic country style takes over the city streets. As the weather gets chilly, layering is the way to adjust to changing temperatures, and there a number of basic pieces essential to staying warm with style. The barn and hacking jacket, chukka and desert boots, chunky sweaters, scarves and more… many of our favorites come from outdoor brands like Barbour, Filson and Patagonia, rich in sporting tradition and recognized for their timeless style. Others are from designers like Jil Sander, Proenza Schouler and The Row, inspired by those classics. Check out our picks for the must haves of the season, the nine perfect pieces for fall 2013.
THE BARN JACKET
BARBOUR FERNDOWN JACKET. Barbour’s classic wax jackets, made by hand since 1894, set the standard for both quality and style. The equestrian-inspired Ferndown jacket is water and wind repellent to keep you warm and dry in intemperate conditions. It features a two-way front zip with snap-closure storm flap, stand-up collar, roomy front pockets with snap-close flaps, and signature Barbour tartan lining. More great barn jackets are available at L.L.BEAN, FILSON, and J.CREW.
THE BACKPACK
FILSON TWILL BACKPACK. A rugged but stylish backpack is the perfect bag to tote the day’s essentials and store those extra layers. Filson is another reputed outdoor brand with a long tradition of quality and craftsmanship. This new tan and orange cotton twill oil finish backpack features a back-hugging design for exceptional comfort and genuine bridle leather padded straps. Its roomy interior has a padded computer pocket plus 3 additional pockets, and a large outer pocket with a 3 slot pocket inside. Other backpacks we love are from JACK SPADE, ARCHIVAL, and BURTON SNOWBOARDS.
