Gentleman’s Haul for Fall

By Megan Roth

As fall and winter’s muted palette replaces summer’s vibrant tones, it’s time to pull out your favorite sweaters, khakis and vests. 

And with the ever-changing Northeast Ohio weather, dressing for fall specifically can be a bit of a challenge. 

Accordingly, Sam Beattie, fashion merchandiser for Ticknors Men’s Clothier in Beachwood, shares with Jstyle a couple men’s fashion trends to look out for this season.

Beattie recommends incorporating the color green into your wardrobe. 

“Green pairs with all the basics: navy, khaki, taupe, black and white,” he says. 

Ticknors offers a variety of garments in green, including sport coats, shirts, sweaters and jeans. 

Additionally, versatility is important when dressing for fall. Achieving the “perfect fusion between fashion and function,” Beattie says the most important garment for fall 2023 is the shacket – shorthand for an oversized shirt/jacket hybrid. 

“(Shackets) are the perfect weight for the cool weather before the frigid Ohio winter,” Beattie says. “(They) are your ticket to additional warmth and style.”

Shackets are great for layering, and can pair well with a variety of fabrics including leather, cotton and performance clothing. They come in a variety of styles and with features such as pockets, full zips and different hood styles. Whether you’re headed for a casual daytime activity or ready for a night out, a shacket is a great way to stay both warm and in style.
