This Fall Burgundy Pours Over

By

Fall menswear is sporting richer color palettes. We are seeing a move away from the brighter colors of summer fashion to navy, black, olive and especially burgundy. The dark red adds subtle and sexy to the vocabulary of your wardrobe.  And paired just the right way it shows a little panache.  We picked out several pieces from this Fall’s line up that can be thrown into your daily grind to catch that second glance. Some are more striking pieces like a Tommy corded suit or blazer – while others like the Cole Haan’s Burgundy Lunar Grands have a subtle kick. And if you’re not ready to wear it then accessorize with it. Keep your cash in the stylish Chief Trunk utility wallet or break up your look with a burgundy scarf by A Peace Treaty.

Cole Haan – Lunar Grand “Tawny Port” $298

Alexander Olch – Varsity Tie $150

Tommy – Corded Suit $399

Tommy – Velvet Blazer $349

Levi’s Made & Crafted – Cord Pants $189

Seize sur Vingt – Button Down $185

Why you’ll love Audemars Piguet’s newest Openworked Royal Oak watches
Audemars Piguet debuts trio of new Royal Oak models
Audemars Piguet Royal Oak black ceramic

Like peanut butter and jelly, most things come in pairs, but what about threes? It's a short list, with the likes of The Three Little Pigs, and the Three Musketeers, but not much else. Audemars Piguet clearly wants to change this as they've recently introduced a trio of Royal Oak Double Balance Wheel Openworked models.
Audemars Piguet: Royal Oak Double Balance Wheel Openworked models

The brand previously introduced a 37mm edition as well as several other 41mm models, and now their newest drop features 41mm models in steel, black ceramic, and 18K yellow gold, all with highly contrasted dials. They feature twin balance wheels, as the name would suggest, not only for precise timekeeping but also for aesthetic purposes — which these days are as important as the tech specs for prospective buyers. Although they weren't a pioneer in double balance mechanisms, Audemars Piguet took an innovative approach by arranging two balance wheels and hairsprings on a single axis, ensuring weight distribution.

The Breitling Avenger gets a refresh with these U.S. Navy inspired watches
These Breitling watches are fit for the Navy
Avenger Naval Academy watch

Fans of the Breitling brand will know that the Avenger collection is all about modern sleekness that rivals the classic and quieter watches from previous lines. And while the Avenger collection hasn’t been on the market for long, its contemporary details and features make it well worth it for any watch lover or collector. Inspired by all things aviation, the Avenger collection is a must-have for one who wants a sleek and robust timepiece. Although the current Avenger timepieces are enticing, the newest additions to the collection are also eye-catching. Overall, the Avenger collection pays respects to all things aviation and military. However, this time around, Breitling is paying homage to the U.S. Navy, and it is an incredible addition to the Avenger lineup. 
Avenger B01 Chronograph 44 Night Mission 

For Breitling’s Navy-inspired tie-in, the brand has set forth three new timepieces that give a subtle nod to naval history. With three aptly named pieces, Naval Academy, USN Bloodhounds, and USN Dust Devils, the newest Avenger watches have a 44mm black ceramic case and Breitling’s B01 chronograph. With a 70-power reserve, the B01 chronograph is COSC-certified and has a column-wheel, and vertical clutch. A decidedly larger watch, there’s no doubt that not everyone will be a fan of the bigger size.

Tuxedo tips: Your complete guide to black-tie attire
Going to a formal event? Let us give you some black-tie attire advice

It’s finally happened. For the first time, or the first time in a very long time, you’ve received an invitation with the words "black-tie attire," or "formal attire," engraved into that creamy white paper. Whether it’s a wedding, a charity gala, or a political reception, this is the one time when what has become an almost universal casual dress code is thrown out the window, and all those Society (with a capital S) rules from the 19th century kick in.
The host or hostess of a formal event has chosen to go this route because they want a very controlled, perfect event, so this is not the time to place yourself in the sartorial spotlight. We men actually get off pretty easy for formal events: Although we’re expected to be well-groomed, dressed appropriately, and on our best behavior, we don’t have to go to nearly the trouble that women do.
We’ve gathered all the tuxedo tips you’ll need to pull off your formal wardrobe for the day: we’ll leave you to learn all the rest of the proper comportment and etiquette that a truly formal event requires.
