Tiger shirt $179, Johnny Love plaid shirt $165.

When you pack your summer clothes away, make sure your fall clothes are two things: aesthetically and functionally appropriate. Basic items like shirts will get worn every day, and they need to look right for the season (bye, bye bright summer colours) as well as be made with a heavier fabric. Think plaids, earthy colours, warm tones, and muted shades in a thicker cotton.
