As temperatures drop and the leaves begin to turn, it’s time to start thinking about fall/winter fabrics in your wardrobe. From the soft touch of flannel to the rich texture of tweed, seasonal materials not only up your look but provide greater warmth and comfort. Once you start dressing for the seasons, you’ll never go back. Here are five fabrics you’ll want in your wardrobe this fall.
Flannel is a cold weather classic, celebrated for its warmth, softness, and versatility. Ideal for suits, sport coats, and even casual pieces, its cozy texture makes it a must-have in your wardrobe. We’re especially fond of this medium brown Prince of Wales check for its adaptability. It looks fantastic as both a sport coat and a full suit.
The rich texture and timeless appeal of tweed make it a staple for fall and winter. With an almost endless variety of patterns and hues to choose from, tweed offers remarkable versatility, whether worn as a full suit or as separates. One of our personal favorites is the brown Donegal tweed suit featured here, as its jacket and trousers can be effortlessly mixed and matched with other pieces. Tweed’s durability and unique character make it an investment that will last through countless seasons.
Corduroy’s ribbed texture instantly adds dimension to any outfit. The key to styling corduroy is balance—pair corduroy trousers with a sleek cashmere sweater for an elevated yet casual look, or wear a corduroy sport coat over a simple dress shirt to add richness without overwhelming the ensemble. For a more relaxed vibe, try a corduroy overshirt layered with a plain tee or knit. Whether in bold hues or classic earth tones, corduroy is your go-to fabric for adding interest and texture to your fall outfits.
Velvet is the fabric of choice when it comes to making a statement. It works beautifully for dinner jackets, blazers, and even trousers. With its luxurious sheen and smooth texture, velvet pieces are ideal for holiday soirées and events that call for a touch of drama and elegance. Want to stand out even more? Consider a velvet smoking jacket. You don’t have to be Hugh Hefner or Cary Grant to pull off this look.
Oxford and twill weaves are excellent choices for fall shirts, and they’re even better when brushed. The brushing process raises the cotton fibers, trapping air particles and enhancing the fabric’s insulation. This allows brushed cotton to keep you warm without the need for multiple layers. Our collection includes a wide range of options, as well as specialty fabrics that blend fine wool and cashmere for added luxury and warmth.
