Barbour's Fall Style Guide
Barbour's Fall Style Guide
Fall in the Northeast of the US is perhaps one of the most beautiful times of the year. Summer is bid farewell by a welcomed chilly breeze followed by an expected yet always surprising array of changing leaves with stunning golden hues that warm up the sky. With a change in weather comes a new list of things to do whether a weekend away or in your own neighborhood. From pumpkin and apple picking to picnics in the park to jaunts from the city to the country to a simple stroll with loved ones, the arrival of Fall also allows the opportunity to dress practically for the festive season.
What to wear in Fall?
Inspired by the vibrant warm autumnal hues and sometimes unexpected temperatures, fall style is all about key staples and flexible options for layering, no matter the weather or time of day. Start with a trusty waxed or quilted jacket and vest, which of course Barbour knows a thing or two about. From there, be sure to mix in options of seasonal button up shirts, fall sweaters, and textured accessories, allowing you to have options to transition seamlessly from a warm day in the park to a chilly seasonal stroll.
Fall is also the perfect time to complement your other half, your little ones, or four-legged friends, with waxed jackets and quilt jacket options that are made for all members of the family. Lastly, versatile and practical footwear is a must for fickle temperatures and potential rain, so opting for a leather or rubber welly boot is key to staying warm and dry when on-the-go.
If you're looking for some fall outfit inspiration to match your festive itinerary, Barbour has the perfect fall style guide for 2023 to prepare your wardrobe for the season:
Visit an Apple Orchard
Heading out to your nearest apple orchard is the perfect way to embrace the sweet taste of Fall by picking your very own apples. Bring them home to enjoy them on their own or bake a delicious treat to savor on a crisp Autumn night.
Men's Fall Outfit Idea:
When heading out into the countryside, we recommend basing your outfit on layers that will keep you warm when the temperature drops but can be removed just as quickly when the midday fall sun peeks out from behind the clouds. Experimenting with layers, such as our Barbour Lowerdale Quilted Gilet are perfect for cooler days, thanks to its diamond-quilting and studded storm guard fastening for added protection and warmth, particularly when layered over a flannel shirt such as the Barbour Damfield Regular Shirt for a smart-casual look.
Pair the look with the Barbour Neuston Moleskin Trousers and Barbour Readhead Boots for a cozy outfit to see you through the fall season.
Fall Outfit Ideas for Women:
When it comes to your fall wardrobe, we recommend building it on a base of staple layering pieces that will see you through the season. The Barbour Pendle Roll-Neck Sweater is crafted from a sumptuous wool-cotton blend offering a breathable yet insulating base layer to your wardrobe. It works particularly well when paired under a women’s gilet, such as the Barbour Wray Gilet. This tailored design features lightweight diamond-quilting which provides just the right amount of warmth for the fluctuating temperatures of the changing seasons. Complete your look with a classic Barbour Tack Fedora and Ange Knee-High Boots for a traditional fall outfit that’s perfect for visiting an Apple Orchard.
Go Leaf-Peeping
Head outside with your loved ones and four-legged companion to experience the wonder of Fall Foliage. In head-to-toe Barbour, you’ll be ready to brave the elements and enjoy the spectacular change of the season in comfort and style.
Smart-Casual Outfit Ideas for Men:
If you’re looking for a durable and reliable men’s fall jacket to add to your wardrobe, the Barbour Ashby Waxed Jacket is the perfect choice. Offering a contemporary take on the iconic Bedale Waxed Jacket, the Ashby is a timeless year-round jacket. Ideal for the colder months, this versatile style features moleskin-lined pockets and even offers the option to add a hood or liner as the temperatures fluctuate throughout the season.
For a reliable underlayer, we recommend a trusty crew-neck sweater, such as the Barbour Horseford Crew Neck Jumper. Crafted from lambswool, it offers insulating properties to your outfit while allowing your temperature to regulate as the seasons change. Simply finish off your look with a smart pair of trousers and chunky boots such as the Barbour Wainwright Hiking Boots for support and stability underfoot when exploring the countryside.
