If you haven’t done so already, it’s officially time — in the Northeast, at least — to pack away your summer clothing and pull out the sweaters, jackets and boots for fall and winter. But while your essential items are often called “basics,” picking them out can feel far from a basic exercise. With that in mind, we invited Megan Collins of Style Girlfriend to take over our weekly Facebook Live video and share the items every man needs for fall: forest green chinos, a gray sweater, a henley, a coach jacket, brown boots and a fall cologne. Watch her style one of our editors from head to toe, and read on below to see our favorites from her picks, plus a few of our own.
