Autumn is rapidly approaching and, as such, the AW17 collections are dropping left, right and centre. Interesting patterns and textures, along with a softer but modern look are very much in right now in menswear and, in partnership with traditional cool colours, are leading to some absolutely lovely, stylish garments and accessories.
Here are a selection of items to help spark inspiration for your own killer look this fall:
Reiss Eldo Mottled Weave Blazer
A modern cut with an unignorable texture and pattern
Reasons to buy
Made with 70 per cent cotton and 30 per cent wool, the Eldo Mottled Weave Blazer in indigo is just super. The mottled basket weave finish is eye catching, the notch lapels elegant and the two button layout classic cool.
The contemporary cut also means the Eldo is very versatile, with some sympathetic pairing - such as crisp black or grey trousers and a one-colour T-shirt - allowing it to be worn on most smart-casual engagements.

Ted Baker Coftini crew neck knitted jumper
A bold, cool palette partnered perfectly with a simple shape
Reasons to buy
The simple clean shape of the Coftini crew neck knitted jumper is sharply contrasted here to great affect with a brilliantly bold and on-trend colour palette and pattern. Three colours are available, however, it is hard to move away from the leading blue as it just embodies fall cool.
The wool-blend construction along with the jacquard finish make this jumper genuinely stand out, while the black, ribbed cuffs and crew neck add a hint of formality and keep the interesting pattern grounded.

Persol Galleria '900
Perfect shades for combating low, Indian summer rays
Reasons to buy
The Persol Galleria '900 do exactly what you want from a pair of autumn sunglasses, with a spacious round design shielding against low rays, and their clean, understated finish screaming casual nonchalance.
The glasses are far from just lookers too, with the lenses polarized and polished off with a green internal anti-glare treatment. These shades come in frame sizes of 50 and 53; this model's colour code is 9014/58, which is T3's top pick.

Antony Morato jacket with checked print design
Urban chic with an industrial twist
Reasons to buy
We just love this fall jacket from Antony Morato, which successfully manages to bolt urban chic onto an industrial backbone. The soft mélange twill and plush synthetic padding make the jacket incredibly comfortable to wear, while the heavy duty metal zip closure, storm flap and leather toggles add serious elemental security.
In terms of the aesthetic, the all-over checked design and cool, metallic colours communicate a military, urban, hyper-modern look. A draw-string waist and brace of front pockets are pleasant, functional extras.

Arrowood Utility Tall
Rugged and ready for tramping through autumn leaves
Reasons to buy
And talking of injecting a dash of urban into a more rustic tradition, these Arrowood Utility Tall boots are both Peak District tough and resistant, as well as street-approved city, with a more modern toe and heel giving the footwear a softer, more on-trend edge.
The injection of style doesn't compromise the protective qualities of the boot either, with waterproof leather uppers keeping the feet dry, a breathable mesh lining keeping them cool, and a responsive PU footbed cushioning them at all times.

Vintage Nubuck Leather Money Wallet
A rustic currency carrier for post-walk pub lunches
Reasons to buy
Snakehive has very much succeeded here in delivering a premium, stylish wallet at an affordable price point, making a switch-up for the autumn season frictionless. The Vintage is made from genuine full grain cowhide nubuck leather, comes equipped with three credit card slots, and boasts a spacious, easy-access notes pocket.
The individual finish of the leather outer is also unique to each wallet and has been designed with a distressed look that will age naturally over time, revealing a darker, smoother tone and rich patina.

Sherpa Sikkim Hoodie Geelo/Tongba
The perfect blend of mountain gear and city wear
Reasons to buy
The casual hoodie is taken to enhanced, more durable, and far more versatile levels here with the Sherpa Sikkim Hoodie Geelo/Tonga, with the garment slotting easily into our fall wardrobe as a layering piece.
The 240 g/m2 doubleknit construction has a smooth face and griddled back for a super comfortable fit, while it has also been designed with breathability in mind. The hood has been installed with a lycra binding too, meaning that it won't sag or droop. Zippered pockets complete the package.

Marlowe Fedora Hat
Reasons to buy
Rounding off this edition of T3 Style is the Marlowe Ferdora Hat in navy blue, which delivers the classic hat style but with added versatility and comfort. The satin lining and fabric inner sweat band add a long-wear comfort, while the flexible brim allows it to be worn traditionally down or up in the trilby style.
The Marlowe has a broad brim and water-repellent finish too, which is ideal for holding off fall rain, while the 100 per cent fur felt outer adds that on-trend soft twist with the traditionally autumn cool colour scheme.
