Back-to-work season is a bit of a silly concept. We’re no longer schoolchildren – and most adults don’t get the whole summer off. (Notably some nations have perhaps a healthier approach to this.) So, the idea of going “back” is, well, a figment of our collective imaginations. However, there is something sweet in the notion of having a designated time, the autumn, to review our working wardrobes and give them a little refresh. And, as temperatures begin to drop, we must pack away our warm-weather bits in favour of some stylish layers and seasonally appropriate accessories. Need a little inspiration? See below.

Slip-ons, slides… boat shoes? Whatever floats your boat, we hope you’ve got it out of your system. Because summer is over, metronomically if not yet astrologically. No matter the calendar you’re working to, assuming you’re in the northern hemisphere, September is back-to-school time. Or perhaps back to old-school, since this season sees the return of numerous classic sneakers, revisited and revamped, alongside cutting-edge collaborations. Behold, the latest releases from Nike, adidas Originals, New Balance and ASICS. Step right this way…

From Mr Paul Mescal’s short shorts to Mr Jeremy O Harris’ Canadian tuxedo, here’s what we can learn from the past month’s best-dressed men.
