Time sure flies when you're having fun. With another month in the books, it's time to take a look back at what I wore on the blog in October. One of my main goals was to illustrate a variety of ways to wear a plaid three-piece suit. Starting with the full three-piece, I also wore the jacket alone on a trip to New York City, the pants and waistcoat together to release my inner dandy, the pants separately for a little pre-Venice inspiration, and got creative with the waistcoat alone. The official arrival of autumn also meant falling into both heavy and light layers and breaking out a killer leather jacket. Let me know which look you liked best and shop some of my key October style pieces below.

Over the years, certain piece have become bona fide race-day style staples—seersucker suits, bow ties, and straw hats, for example—and are absolutely classic options.
