Holt Renfrew's Vice President of Fashion Direction, Barbara Atkin, hand picked the Fall Top 10 must-haves for men. Highlights include the return of the three-piece suit, silk bow tie, wingtip shoes, patterned wool pant, and the in-colour charcoal grey.
 | #1 The Puffa
For braving cold weather in style, channel the best of the slopes with both classic and unique versions of the puffa: go casual with a bomber style in technical fabric or veer towards a more city-smart professional look with a longer and leaner silhouette.
|  | #2 The Luxe Sport Jacket
Personify drawing-room decadence by pairing a dark plush velvet or satin trimmed jacket with a wool trouser and formal scarf or indulge your inner Bohemian rock 'n' roller by mixing it with a dark or printed shirt and black denim. Mick Jagger never had it so good. |  | # 3 The Three-Piece Suit
This iconic suit is back, impeccably cut and in the best of fabrics (think tonal charcoal herringbone or wide chalk stripe). Try adding a bow tie for an effect that is pure polish or, forgoing neckwear, stick with a crisp shirt, top button open, and look elegantly undone.
|  | # 4 The Vest
A classic menswear piece on its own, this season it is shown in single- or double-breasted, with lapels (peak, notch or shawl-collared), or with metal buttons for military shine. In dark wools, the vest complements the season's dark shirting and looks good layered over a long-sleeved tee or fine-gauge turtleneck. |  | # 5 The Workwear Shirt
This well-worn classic gains a new refinement with expertly washed cotton or wool tartans, carefully crafted metal hardware and standout pocket-flap and placket details. Wear it with premium denim or underneath another timeless icon: the leather jacket. |  | # 6 The Cardigan
In textured knits with zippers, double-breasted or chunky wool, this cardigan can have the feel of a sport jacket when layered over shirting, vests and finer knits. To pile on the texture, add a woolly scarf.
|  | # 7 The Driver Cap
English elegance reigns with this British archetype in velvet, corduroy, cashmere, felt and graphic herringbone. The go-with-anything cap also gains new ground in a knit fabric or with a leather brim or trim.
|  | # 8 The New Carry-On
More stylish than a duffle and more polished than a tote (but as functional as both), this structured bag exemplifies pure luxury with its refined hardware and luxurious fabrication. Look for it in rich brown and cognac, as well as in executive black.
|  | # 9 The Sartorial Shoe
Looking fresh with a slightly thicker sole and a more rounded toe, the clean lace-up oxford is the best shoe to wear with this season's expert tailoring. Brogue detailing, split toes or wing tips add extra personality to this sophisticated look.
|  | # 10 The Chelsea Boot
In rich chocolate suede or strong polished leather, zipped up or pulled on, the Chelsea boot is all about flexible style. Dress it up with a tailored, patterned pant (think Prince of Wales, window pane or houndstooth) or pair it with a casual, slim-cut pant for a look that's more relaxed but just as sharp.
