Labour Day Weekend is especially bittersweet this year. How can summer be over before it’s barely begun? We hope the sun hangs around a little while longer, but we also can’t hide our excitment for all things fall. Beautiful colours, crisp air, and Oktoberfest make it one of our favourite times of year. Not to mention all the great fashion! Cozy knits, smooth leather, and luxurious cashmere in rich, full-bodied colours quickly make us forgive the cooler weather.

It’s our job to always be a little ahead of the trends and, this season, we couldn’t help but notice Patrick Assaraf’s Fall/Winter 2013 collection. Perfect for the smooth modern man, the collection of luxury basics boasts superfine 16GG lightweight cashmere and 100% Merino wool in shades like Midnight Blue, Amethyst, and Wineberry. We had a hard time narrowing it down, but here are our three favourite looks:

Trade in your crewnecks and hoodies for this cozy classic cardigan. 

This striped shirt made of super-soft lightweight cashmere adds a cool bit of color to any outfit and is perfect for layering.

It’s all about the details. Show off some fun colour when you pop the collar of this modern blazer.
