Wind Chill Factor

Though you wouldn't know it from the hot temperatures we've been experiencing in NYC this week, fallen leaves will soon adorn the sidewalks, the smell of roasting chestnuts will lure you to street vendors, and wanton chilly breezes will catch you unawares. Be prepared with the perfect early-fall toppers.

Filippa K makes a great cardi for the guy who doesn't think he can wear one. This chunky rib version is a bit younger but still refined. $275 @ Context Clothing.

I really want jean jackets to come back for men. With its perfect dark rinse and copper buttons, Earnest Sewn's Flynn jacket blends ruggedness and urban cool. $225 @ Context.
