Serving Dapper Lumberjack Realness: A Rustic Layered Look for Fall

I've been watching a lot of episodes of Rupaul's Drag Race lately so that should explain the title of this post. I love how the queens are always saying they're "giving fishy realness" or "giving you today's modern woman realness" or whatever. So today I am giving you dapper lumberjack realness with this menswear ensemble.

Fall and winter are perfect times to layer - both from a practical standpoint (a day can start out chilly but warm up quickly) and a fashion perspective (every body type looks good in layers). Here's how I put the look together:

• It all started with these French Corders in Maple from Bonobos ($125). I'm a sucker for anything in the brown family so this maple hue is right up my alley. And, hello, nothing says fall like corduroy. 
• This Luke Red Chambray Shirt from Jack Robie ($135) is a perfect color complement to the maple cords. A man should never shy away from a little color.
• Worried about all that red? Once you layer this Shirt Jacket With Detachable Inner from Scotch & Soda ($185) over the shirt, you'll only see a little pop of color. 
• Top off the look with this 1936 Skyliner Model Hunting Down Vest from Eddie Bauer ($199). The vest adds a rugged touch and will add an extra layer of warmth of those cold mornings.
• What's a dapper look with a bow tie? This Fulton Houndstooth Bow Tie from The Tie Bar ($15) picks up the color of the pants and the red in the shirt. 
• You gotta love a chukka. Kaldwell Leather Chukka from Ugg ($140) 

The pieces here are shown as a suggestion. If this look isn't in your price range, try to create a similar look with clothes that are more affordable. 

Happy dapper dressing!
