The best in seasonal shopping.
 
Monk Straps
 
A modern menswear favorite with old school roots, the monk strap is a surprisingly versatile shoe. Sure, they're dapper and continental, but that doesn't mean they have to be worn with a suit. Give these slick kicks a casual twist by sporting them with your worn-in jeans or rumpled chinos. And feel free to show some sock—the bolder the better.

From the high-end versions cut from premium leathers and hand-sewn in Italy to more approachable classic styles.

Chelsea Boots
Simple and streamlined, the chelsea boot—in all its stately elegance—is quintessentially British. And while it has a history as a mod staple back in London's swinging sixties, today they make for a boot that's as versatile as it is attractive. Whether you opt for polished leather or more seasonal suede, they go as well with a beaten-up pair of jeans as they do with a suit.

Suede Loafers
The loafer is an American classic that swept through academia back in the day, which is perhaps why it seems like such a fitting style for fall. But these aren't the loafers your dad wore back in the day. Today's are leaner and meaner than ever. Cut from an autumnal suede leather, the silhouette has been slimmed down and the details have been stepped up—from timeless hardware like Gucci's horse-bits to more of-the-moment additions like a red brick sole.

Hikers

But for guys who want some tough (yet comfortable) kicks to tackle the season's range of conditions, these hybrid hikers do the job and then some. They offer the durability and traction of a hiking boot with comfort and casualness of a tennis shoe.
