As the temperature dips and the days draw in, END. presents a curated edit of transitional Pre Fall menswear, designed to navigate the shift in season with ease and intent. From elevated essentials by luxury fashion houses to utilitarian staples from function-first labels, our latest lookbook blends form and function with contemporary edge.

Expect tactile layers, rich textures, and silhouettes that strike the perfect balance between warmth and weight, engineered to move seamlessly through the chill. Whether you're refining your rotation or rebuilding from the ground up, this is your blueprint for the season ahead.

Set against the raw beauty of Scotland’s Borders  — where rolling hills meet glassy lochs — this season’s editorial explores the intersection of nature and necessity. Think heritage silhouettes in rich wool blends, chunky knits, and layered combinations with outdoor performance pieces that challenge convention. It’s a study in contrast: timeless Fall archetypes reimagined with modern nuance, delivering a wardrobe built for movement, warmth, and quiet impact.

Luxury Meets Functionality 

This season, END. leans into the art of contrast, exploring luxury and function, where technical precision meets refined design. The result? A modern urban wardrobe built on contrasts.

Contemporary labels and utility-led brands work in harmony, drawing from the functional outdoors to craft silhouettes that feel equally at home in the city. With unexpected pairings, think soft tailoring and men’s trousers layered with statement knitwear, outerwear and textures that speak to both comfort and capability.

A Stone Island leather jacket, padded with Primaloft® insulation, sets the tone: engineered warmth wrapped in elevated texture. Layered with a plush chenille knit, it’s a tactile pairing that plays off the utilitarian grit of Arc’teryx’s Torque beanie and Diemme’s Cornaro Low hikers.

A refined take on the seasonal shift: city-ready looks are infused with the rugged DNA of outdoor design. Dries Van Noten steps in with a soft alpaca wool jumper, dialling up the refinement while Nike ACG’s outdoor DNA keeps things grounded. Utility-led cargo shorts and performance accessories from Patagonia round out the look, proof that the most impactful looks come from the unexpected.

Pre Fall Transition: Tone & Texture

With the forecast cooling, wardrobe investments come to the forefront, with elevated staples and transitional layers designed to carry you through the colder months.

Rich leather layers meet men’s overshirts, tactile jumpers and oversized checks, delivering a wardrobe that’s elevated yet effortless, grounded in warmth and built for versatility.

Classic forms are reimagined in mohair, cable and rib knit and brushed flannel — each piece chosen for its craftsmanship and character. The palette shifts too: earthy tones and muted hues echo nature, bringing depth to the new season edit.

Chunky corduroy and rugged cotton canvas layer seamlessly with tactile wool blends and heritage plaid, setting the tone for transitional dressing that’s rich in texture and rooted in utility.

Carhartt WIP jackets like the Michigan grounds the look, with workwear edge, paired with Our Legacy chinos and a fuzzy alpaca check scarf for a hit of soft contrast. A palette of earthy neutrals, think rust, olive, tan and deep greens, runs through investment knitwear, men’s outerwear and tailored trousers, bringing depth to the season’s rotation.

JW Anderson wide-leg wool trousers meet Story mfg. hand-stitched appliqué vacation shirts, alpaca crewnecks, and distressed ladder knits from Jil Sander and Our Legacy — where relaxed tailoring and directional knitwear collide.

New Season Layering 

For the Autumn shift, END. leans into layering in transitional dressing. Styling is built on contrast, luxury meets utility, and textures do the talking, layering knitwear, hoodies, men’s jackets and coats to create a look that’s both refined and ready for the everyday.

Barbour’s Classic Bedale Wax Jacket anchors the look with its unmistakable waxed finish, layered over chunky wool knits and elevated by Rick Owens’ plush alpaca hood, an unexpected twist that seals in warmth and adds edge to tradition.

When temperatures drop, Moncler outerwear steps in with layered protection. Glossy puffer jackets meet brushed wool overshirts in a tonal clash of nylon and plaid, while Diemme shoes ground the aesthetic in rugged refinement.

For new in Pre Fall outerwear, Our Legacy’s Blizzard Jacket, lined with plush natural shearling, sets the tone — layered over a chunky zip-through hoodie from the Stockholm label for depth and warmth. A Won Hundred zip overshirt adds structure, while heavyweight Les Tien sweatpants keep comfort front and centre.

Post Gorpcore - Fashion Meets Function 

Stripping back the Gorpcore aesthetic, a new wave of outdoor clothing rounds off the END. The Pre Fall menswear editorial. A quieter take on the trend, performance and polish collide, with pieces engineered for movement, built for the elements, and styled for the street.

C.P. Company leads the charge with fabric innovation and utilitarian edge, pairing seamlessly with KA_YO_Prototype’s performance-driven layers. Arc’teryx injects a jolt of colour into the mix with the iconic Beta Gore-Tex Jacket, cutting through a palette of earthy neutrals and nature-inspired tones. This Arc’tery coat is a bold punctuation mark in an Autumn season defined by texture, function, and elevated outdoor wear.
