The Choosy Beggar

So, we already told you about tapered khakis, and how a few pairs will get you through nearly any situation between now and September. Yet, while their make and quality isn’t as varied as, say, denim, there are definitely brands that specialize in higher calibers of khaki — like Acne. Pick up a pair of Acne’s stray raw khakis at Gilt, today.

No matter the weather, every urban-dwelling male needs an elegant pair of dark boots — be they Chukka’s, Chelsea’s, or whatever — for all manner of nocturnal activities. These black leather lace-ups from Antonio Mauizi, available today at Gilt, will do just fine. They’re tame by Mauizi’s standards, and that’s okay by us. What they lack in terms of hardware, tassels, and other affectations, they more than make up for in understated confidence, and, dare we say, sex appeal. ($238)
