Over the years, I've discovered several tricks to strategically pack for cold temperatures while still feeling like you have enough to wear.

But this week I spotted an ingenious use for the extras, courtesy of NY-based company Proche Studio. Here's their proposal: Mail in a wool blanket, and they'll give it new life in the form of a great-looking-and uber snug-chore coat, vest, or scarf. I'm particularly smitten by the chore coat, a fresh version of the quilt coats that became popular a couple of years ago, and much, much warmer.

The safari jacket owes much of its makeup to this lighter-weight cousin. Safari jackets were worn by troops in all the warm-weather colonial trips made by the turn of the (20th) century European powers.

The J.Crew Barbour barn jacket has been around for a minute, but the pair just released an exclusive to J.Crew color combination. The waxed cotton is navy, and the corduroy collar is black. It's a city-ready take on Barbour's country look.

My first pair of Hunter rain boots actually came from my grandmother, who has an incredibly sharp eye for great shoes (and zero patience for flimsy ones). When I was a teenager, she bought me a pair of tall Hunters in a glossy light silver. They were practical, of course, but also strangely cool-metallic enough to feel a little dramatic, subtle enough to still work with everything in my wardrobe.

Our all-time favorite shirt jacket Pros The best unstructured fit Durable Cons An investment Alex Mill's work jacket is one of our most beloved, and we're counting it as a shirt jacket. Why shouldn't we? It's made with garment-dyed denim, the chore coat's signature front pockets and all the swag in the world. It's an excellent replacement for a blazer in a more-casual-than-business work environment. And we would knowit's an Esquire editor favorite.

Having been at InsideHook for the past seven years, I know that you guys are super into Outerknown, the Kelly Slater-founded clothing company that specializes in laid-back basics that are equally at home on a beach or out to dinner. Or just...at home, I guess.

What I'm doing here is giving you fashion options. What boots should a man, a man who takes some amount of pride in how he looks, own? And sorry to be one note, but I'm also going to tell you to avoid the "trends" here. We're in a vacuum of trends at the moment. I've talked about this in other stories, and I try to avoid talking about it at parties

In the show, "dirty" extends to anything that breaks fashion's pact with propriety. Here are clothes caked in grime, blotted with makeup, stiffened by salt, pieced from trash, frayed, and faded. The garments span decades, from the 1980s through the mid-2000s, when the likes of Vivienne Westwood and Jean Paul Gaultier built their fame on defying convention, to today, when corporatization has made such daring increasingly rare. But forgoing practicality frees certain designers from the demands that the body be polite-and thereby policed.

In a captivating showcase at Paris Fashion Week, Dongjoon Lim unveiled the highly anticipated FW26 collection from POST ARCHIVE FACTION (PAF). Titled Drifter, this collection artfully encapsulates the essence of movement and transition, inviting us to explore the delicate balance between the past and the future. At its core, Drifter is a poignant reflection on the act of drifting, a condition in which old archives evolve, and the allure of new classics takes shape.
