As the air cools and the days get shorter, we see fall as the perfect excuse to reset our wardrobes. It’s when we reach for cozy layers, lace up polished boots, and lean into fabrics that feel good and wear even better. Fall is our favorite season to play with texture, experiment with color, and pull together outfits that balance ease with intention. Here’s how we’re approaching men’s fall style in 2025, with trends worth noting and timeless staples that always earn a spot in the bag.
But First, the Basics of Men’s Fall Style
When it comes to men’s fall style, it’s all about balancing comfort, warmth, and an effortless look.
The basics are simple but versatile. Classic flannels, lightweight knits, and well-fitted denim remain the backbone of any autumn wardrobe. A good denim or bomber jacket instantly sharpens a look, while leather boots and sleek sneakers carry you from casual days to crisp nights out. Add a scarf, beanie, or even a rugged leather belt, and you’ve got the essentials covered.
Men’s Fall Trends for 2025
Fall style in 2025 isn’t about chasing quick trends. It’s about building a wardrobe that feels elevated, versatile, and ready for cooler days ahead. Think balanced fits, textured layers, and essentials that actually earn their keep.
- Straight & Slim-Tapered Fits: Skinny jeans are history, and oversized pants are fading too. The sweet spot is straight or slim-tapered—flattering, versatile, and easy to dress up or down.
- Tonal Layering with Texture: Layering adds depth when you play with texture. Earthy browns, charcoals, and neutrals get dimension through gingham, brushed knits, or linen weaves—an effortless European-inspired mix.
- Elevated Essentials: Instead of disposable trends, men are leaning on staples with staying power. Wrinkle-resistant merino shirts, airy camp collars, and odor-resistant tees keep you polished and travel-ready.
- Footwear That Grounds the Look: Sleek leather boots remain the anchor of fall outfits, striking the balance between rugged and refined. Minimal sneakers or loafers step in when ease is the priority.
- Color Trends: Jewel tones linger, but fall leans warmer. Chocolate, camel, and umber dominate, balanced with travel-friendly neutrals like navy, dune, and smoke. A touch of deep red in a knit or accessory keeps it current.
- Outerwear with Purpose: Transitional jackets, packable shells, and insulated vests are the workhorses. Adaptable, lightweight, and sharp—layers you can take from Athens to Aspen without missing a beat.
Men’s Fall Outfit Ideas
Now that we've covered the men’s fall style essentials, let’s dive into some specific men’s fall outfit ideas to inspire your wardrobe. Whether you’re heading to the office, catching a flight, or just out for a casual weekend, these essential autumn wardrobe items will help you stay stylish and comfortable, no matter the weather or occasion.
Casual Travel Day
- Whether you’re flying across the country, taking a road trip, or exploring new places, comfort is key. Go for a comfortable hoodie in a neutral tone like beige or grey, layered under a bomber jacket. Pair it with stretch AT Pant, standing out with wrinkle-resistant and quick-drying features, and slip-on sneakers. This outfit is easy to move in, with fabrics that resist wrinkles—perfect for when you need to stay fresh on the go.
Late Summer Holdout
- For those days when summer still lingers, a simple sun hoodie in a fresh color paired with chino shorts and white sneakers does the trick. Add a lightweight cap to shield yourself from the sun while while maintaining a casual and polished look. This is a must-have outfit designed for transitioning between summer and fall
Weekend Adventure
- For cool outdoor fall adventures, layer the Ventra™ Camp Shirt over a LocationX™ Tee Boxy. The camp shirt’s breathable, wrinkle-resistant fabric adds a touch of polish, while the tee’s open-knit design keeps you fresh and odor-free. Combine them with Diversion Pants for durability and stretch, plus weather-resistant boots for all-day comfort.
Athleisure for the Go-To Travel Look
- For those long travel days, think athleisure is done right. Start with a waffle hoodie in blue-grey, featuring a unique texture that adds depth to your look while keeping things casual. Pair it with the Evolution Pants in Fog, which are light and versatile, perfect for brightening up those grey autumn days. Finish the outfit with light-colored sneakers for a clean, fresh look. This combo offers comfort without sacrificing style, with breathable fabrics that keep you cozy throughout your journey.
Office-Ready or Casual Walking Outfit
- For cooler office days, layer wrinkle-free Merino button-down in a calm grey tone with an elevated structure under a navy vest. Pair it with tailored pants in a sandy hue for a balanced color contrast, and choose leather loafers for a polished, business-casual vibe, or opt for sneakers if you're leaning more toward a casual look. Cotton blends provide warmth without adding bulk, and the mix of grey and sandy tones makes this outfit a perfect fall choice. Add a backpack for a laptop or travel essentials.
Sleek Minimalist
- For those of us who like to keep things simple but stylish, the Evolution Pant in Dune, or Canyon for a brighter focus, is the perfect starting point. These pants are tailored yet incredibly comfortable, offering a polished look without restricting movement. Pair it with the Limitless Merino Wool Tee in light grey or white for a clean, monochromatic palette. Add a black jacket, minimal sneakers, and a watch to complete the look. This outfit is perfect for a casual Friday at the office or a coffee date, keeping things effortless but elevated.
Smart-Casual Explorer
- When we’re on the move, whether it’s for work or leisure, we want a style that’s functional. Start with the Evolution Pant in olive or sand, which is durable and ready for adventure. Pair it with the Merino Long Sleeve Henley in a white color for some extra warmth and texture. Throw on the vest in a deep blue color for a sharp, lightweight outer layer. Finish the look with a classic Converse and a leather bag.
Urban Weekend Casual
- If you're spending the weekend in the city, opt for a laid-back but put-together look. The Diversion Pant adds just the right amount of structure with its tailored fit and weather-resistant fabric. Pair it with the hoodie or long-sleeve shirt in a neutral shade like black or navy. Throw on the grey or olive jacket for a sharp, lightweight outer layer. Accessorize with a beanie and white sneakers for a comfortable yet sleek urban vibe.
Effortless Layering
- Fall is all about layering, and the waffle sweater is your go-to for versatility. Wear it over a simple white tee and combine it with the AT Slim Pant for a rugged but stylish combo. The mix of textures and colors—think an earthy black or olive sweater with blue grey pants—makes it feel intentional. Add sunglasses and white sneakers, or sneakers with a touch of white, to complete the outfit.
Outdoor Ready
- When we know we’re spending a day outside—whether hiking or just hitting the trails—style doesn’t need to take a backseat. The Evolution Pants in sand color are durable and comfortable, perfect for outdoor activities. Pair it with the Merino Wool tee for warmth and moisture-wicking comfort. Add the hooded jacket in olive matching perfectly with sand color. A sun cap, sturdy boots, and sunglasses finish off this look, making it stylish and perfect for anything fall weather throws your way.
Rainy Day Essentials
- For unpredictable fall showers, a waterproof shell in navy is your go-to. Layer it over a thermal Henley and pair it with water-resistant, quick-drying travel pants like the Dune Evolution Pants. These pants offer both practicality and style, making them perfect for handling wet conditions. Add waterproof leather boots to keep your feet dry and protected.
Date Night Ready
- For a more dressed-up fall look, go for a fitted wool coat or jacket in a beige or navy, layered over a crisp white dress shirt or merino wool button down shirt in burgundy. Pair it with slim trousers in a complementary neutral and finish with sleek leather Chelsea boots. This combination is both stylish and warm—ideal for dinner out on a chilly night.
What kind of Fabric Is The Best For Fall Outfits?
Autumn calls for a different set of fabrics than summer, and when you’re constantly on the move—whether for work or travel—the fabric of your fall outfits matters just as much as the style. You want materials that are both comfortable and durable, and fabrics like Merino wool, flannel, and cotton blends are ideal for the season. Merino wool is a go-to for colder days, offering warmth without adding bulk, while flannel provides softness and a casual vibe perfect for layering. Cotton blends are lightweight and breathable, making them great for active days when you're transitioning from work to weekend adventures. Look for fabrics that are wrinkle-resistant and easy to care for, especially if you're frequently on the road.
With the right fall outfits in your rotation, you’re ready for whatever the season hands you. Smart fabrics, thoughtful layering, and a few practical accessories keep you looking sharp and feeling comfortable, whether you’re at the office, on the road, or chasing a golden hour pint with friends.
