10 Fall Essentials for Men

Thanks for all of your sweet comments on yesterday’s “It’s a Date!” post. Happy to have those posts back in rotation. So September is the month my dad was born and I am crazy blessed to have him as my dad. He has always been kind, supportive, loving, and hard working. I have to share a funny story that happened when I was back in college. My freshman year, I picked up the phone to call my father and wish him a happy birthday. He was so warm and wonderful and asked me all about school and how it was going. At the end of the conversation he says, “Thanks for the birthday wishes. Will I talk to you on my birthday, too?!” Ummm. Huh? Oh, dear. Are you serious? I had his birthday wrong. Horrendous. I was two days early. Needless to say I have never gotten in wrong since.

So when Nordstrom reached out and asked me to look at the Fall Essentials in September, I immediately thought of my dad. He has always been such a well dressed man. I always remember him doing yard work in a button down plaid shirt. So this post is dedicated to the man who taught me what to look for in a husband and who has taught me so much about unconditional love. And I promise to never get his birthday wrong again. So now let’s talk Fall Fashion trends . . . and hopefully you’ll find something for the men in your life.

The striped dress shirt is my number one pick . . . both my husband and my dad pull this one off so well. They are classic and never go out of style. I also love these shirts with a great pair of loafers.

I am such a fan of the button down. My husband wears them all the time and the gingham is one of my favorites for sure. We love the slim fit shirts because of the tailored fit.

These are some of my all time favorite looks. I am a sucker for the Fisherman’s sweater. Especially because my dad always wore them and I really love them. And the striped button down works all the time for any occasion. I like the idea of sticking to timeless pieces so that when you spend the money for them, you know you can wear them for years to come. How about the men in your life? Are they drawn to the classic, timeless pieces?

And ladies, I haven’t forgotten about you! Be sure to get caught up on my latest finds on my sidebar or under my boutique page. Have a great day! Please pop back in tomorrow to see our Fall Home Tour. Can’t wait to show you.
