Although the word “aesthetic” has been worn out by millennial blogger types who wear “oatmeal” vests this time of year, I do have one: the guy who dresses well but doesn’t put off the vibe that he cares too much about his appearance, and he doesn’t use the word “aesthetic” in real life conversation. He’s not ahead of seasonal clothing trends, and he can’t pull off an ascot, but he clearly takes pride in his appearance, and dresses as such. He looks sharp, but it looks natural to him.
Below are 17 hand-selected items for the guy described above. All are available at ManOutfitters.com, your one-stop shop for men’s apparel and accessories that is always being curated from the best brands available on planet Earth.
The best way to shop at Man Outfitters is by using the iOS app. It’s clean, it’s easy, it’s quick, it’s user friendly, and it can be downloaded here.

Time to get fitted.
‘Highland Alpaca’ Fleece Vest by Southern Marsh
Full disclosure: I am NOT a vest guy. I’m just not. But many of my ilk are, and I respect it, so I must recommend this vest to you via Southern Marsh.
‘Utsjo’ Elk Leather Glove by Hestra
Flexxxxxxxxxxxx.
These Hestras say I have a slick-back, access to a ski in-ski out in Aspen, and I drive a 911 Turbo.
Heather Pullover Fleece by True Grit
Look how the fleece on the inside flips up at the bottom, just peeks out to say hello and let the world know you’re toasty on the inside but cool and casual on the outside. This is a great entry level garment into the True Grit game — a game everyone is trying to get into.
‘Wilshire’ Plaid Flannel Shirt by Southern Marsh
Maybe you live in a warmer climate but still want to wear flannel. There are lightweight options, too.
‘Breaker’ Stretch Chino Pants by Vineyard Vines
Stretchy chinos. Khaki. Vineyard. Don’t overthink this.
‘Baird’ Stripe Double Cloth Thermal Sweatshirt by Grayers
Okay, so I just really like the look of Grayers sweathshirts. If you listen to Touching Base you already know that, so you know I’m real. This is the kind of sweatshirt I’m talking about. It’s simple and it looks sharp. This color is also very tight.
‘Palmer’ Athletic Fleece Sweatshirt by Grayers
Oooooooooooooo I might like this one even more. Also a Grayers. Also sharp. Also fits very well. This one has some edge, though.
‘Grandpro’ Leather Tennis Shoe by Cole Haan
Pair these sweatshirts with the shoes I won’t shut up about: the Grandpro sneakers from Cole Haan. Dress them down or up. Versatile. Comfortable. Sex.
I wear these so much that sometimes I know I have to mix in a different pair but I still don’t because these just belong on my feet. Oh God the Cole Haan chukka is borderline pornographic.
‘Ascot’ Slipper by Ugg
Grandmothers love giving slippers for Christmas. Email or write a letter or pick up the phone and call your grandmother to let that sweet woman know these slippers are on your Christmas list. She will get them for you. Either that or a check for $10. We’re talking cozy feet.
‘Madson’ Waterproof Moc Toe Boot by Sorel
I want to move to a snowy, mountainous region for the sole purpose of wearing boots like this every winter. I guess an annual week in Vail will do, but shelving these bad boys for 51 weeks out of the year is an absolute travesty.
‘The Blue’ Fleece Shorts – 9″ Inseam by Travis Mathew
I’m on board with everything Travis Mathew makes. The cold weather doesn’t mean you have to stay inside and get fat and lazy and turn hideous and depressed and stop shaving and lose the will to live. You can, of course, but if you intend on hitting the gym and maintaining control of your life during these next four months, do it in these and thank me later.
‘Clay’ Athletic Pocket Tee by Travis Mathew
Wear those shorts with this shirt. It’s TM so you know it’s comfortable, moisture wicking, and fits perfectly.
‘Sawyer’ 5-Pocket Stretch Pants by Johnnie O
These are another recent purchase of mine. They fit well. Ass poppin. I wore them on a date the other night and she wants to see me again. Think about it.
Signature Cap by Rodd and Gunn
A dad cap with a pointer on it? Uh okay. Find me a more dad dad cap than this.
Stay Frosty Beanie by Columbia
Put this one in the same file as the Sorel boots from above. There are like three days out of the year that I can wear a hat like this in Austin. Anyway, keep your stupid head warm this winter.
‘Bivy’ Reversible Down Vest by Patagonia
Earlier I told you I’m not a vest boy. Well, this reversible from Patagonia might force me into becoming one. Holy shit this thing goes hard. As the designated all-time QB during family football games, I need my right arm unencumbered to throw lasers all over the lawn.
‘Growler’ Seasilk Performance Sweatshirt by Toes on the Nose
The. Single. Softest. Article. Of. Clothing. I. Own.
P.S. The sweathshirt I’m wearing in the picture at the top of this page is this one, if you want to get like me..

I need a power robe to wear around the house that says I’ll take some coffee in my whiskey. Are there options available?
My boyfriend thanks you in advance for giving me this shopping list.
Same….. wait.. what.
I like your username!
Thanks!
No Southern South tees on the list? Wtf
I own those gloves and they are excellent. Would recommend.
But that belt…is that on the site too?
Would love to see PGP get into the Liketoknow.it game
Whenever I see one of these articles on PGP I always expect Will to plug the “most transparent podcast on the internet”. Which it is.
