Tonic Autumn Essentials

Back to Journal


Autumn’s weather can be confusing; warm one moment, chilly the next. With the ability to layer, the transitional period offers the perfect opportunity to experiment a little more with your personal style. We’ve picked out a few new-in menswear pieces that’ll help you truly nail transitional dressing.

The Sweater Vest

The sweater vest has steadily undergone some image rehabilitation over the past few years and, when it comes to layering, it’s a silhouette that’s hard to beat.

The Pinto vest from Far Afield, in slate brown, adds some texture to this simple silhouette through the use of a multi colour flecked yarn and tonal diamond cable stitching.

Styled here with a tee underneath, a classic pair of Edwin jeans and playboy original chukkas – we think the sweater vest has earned its spot as an autumn essential.

The Shirt

With its relaxed, oversized fit and utilitarian design this heavyweight Sebastian shirt from Edwin is the ideal in-between layer. Made from 80% cotton and 20% recycled cotton, it’s a comfortable and eco-friendly option that can be dressed up or down for the autumn months.

Throw yours on over a tee as we have here, or layer up as you see fit with a knit or a coat as it gets colder.

The Jacket

Lastly, when a shirt doesn’t quite cut it, you’ll be in need of a jacket. The Station Jacket from Far Afield is an elevated take on a classic over-shirt silhouette. Fully lined and constructed with postindustrial recycled wool, it is a versatile stand alone piece ideal for transitional weather.

Cast in an Italian textured jacquard, the Station Jacket adds interest to a timeless style. Paired here with some Edwin Jeans and a simple white tee it’s bound to become a mainstay in your autumn wardrobe.
