For The Trend-Setter

1. Stitch Button-Through Sweater Polo

Abercrombie & Fitch

  • What We Like: A range of colors and patterns, machine washable, transitional from summer to fall, thicker fabric
  • What We Don’t Like: Some reviewers say it runs big, delicate fabric makes it snag-prone, can shrink in the dryer
  • Size Range: XS-XXL; Regular or Tall
  • Material(s): 60% Cotton, 20% Viscose, 20% Nylon

We’ve been seeing sweater polos everywhere in a range of colors, patterns and textures on celebrities of all kinds. Because of this, the A&F Stitch Button-Through Sweater Polo tops our list. The sweater-like fabric combined with a short sleeve makes going from summer to fall a cinch. If it’s time to reach for something other than a T-shirt to elevate your ‘fit, make this your go-to. Plus, they’re super easy to dress up or down. Pair with jeans for a casual ensemble or tailored trousers to take it to the next level.

For The On-the-Go Guy

2. Vintage-Inspired Tee

Abercrombie & Fitch

  • What We Like: Machine washable, soft feel, closet staple 
  • What We Don’t Like: Need to wash separately at first to avoid color transfer, some reviewers thought the fabric was too thin
  • Size Range: XS-XXL; Regular
  • Material(s): 100% Cotton

No matter who you are, you can absolutely never go wrong with a classic oversized T-shirt. The boxy fit of this one is effortlessly cool. It gives you that “I didn’t have to try too hard to put an outfit together” vibe. The vintage feel of the washed-out fabric combined with the high ‘80s-style crewneck is giving us serious Marty McFly vibes. Plus: It’s SO soft. Trust me. I’ve been living in it since it found its way into my closet. (And there’s over 12 colorways. Shook? Us, too.)

For The Guy That Just Left the Golf Course

3. Performance Button-Up Shirt

Abercrombie & Fitch

  • What We Like: Two-way stretch fabric, moisture-wicking, machine washable, wrinkle releasing 
  • What We Don’t Like: Some reviewers say it’s a bit too sheer, some reviewers say the material is a bit thin 
  • Size Range: XS-XXL; Regular and Tall
  • Material(s): 95% Nylon, 5% Elastane

Sweaty guys, this shirt is for you. With its moisture-wicking material and two-way stretch fabric, it’s way more breathable than a standard button-up. When you want something with a bit of sophistication, but the weather is unbearable, reach for this breezy pick. As the weather gets colder, pair it with a sweater vest or colorful corduroy jacket for an eye-catching layering opportunity.

For The Guy That Likes Things Nice And Breezy

4. Camp Collar Linen-Blend Shirt

Abercrombie & Fitch

  • What We Like: Camp collar with a straight hem, breathable, machine washable 
  • What We Don’t Like: Heavier fabric than expected for linen, some reviewers say the shirt runs on the larger size
  • Size Range: XS-XXL; Regular or Tall
  • Material(s): 55% Linen, 45% Viscose

They say linen is one of the best fabrics to wear when it’s warm for its breathability and cooling properties and can I tell you that this top does exactly that. As a sweatier human, I’m always looking for ways to keep the moisture at bay. The Camp Collar Linen-Blend Shirt left me feeling less concerned about sweat stains in the summer, while also feeling thick enough to wear as the weather gets chillier. 

The Best Everyday Denim

5. Loose Jean

Abercrombie & Fitch

  • What We Like: Thick high quality denim, loose, yet form-fitting, comfortable, solid texture, durable
  • What We Don’t Like: Some reviewers mention color wash looking different in the photos versus what they received, some reviewers mention inconsistent fit (some baggier, some tighter), tight pockets
  • Size Range: Waist: 28-40; Length: 28-34
  • Material(s): 100% Cotton

If you’re in the market for high quality, durable denim, the Loose Jean is it. Form-fitting in all the right ways, this pair is ideal for everyday wear. “[These are] amazing jeans. High-quality material, perfect cut, and great wash. I will wear these constantly,” one reviewer mentions. 

For The Office OOTD

6. Camp Collar Silky Button-Up Shirt

Abercrombie & Fitch

  • What We Like: Satiny feel, great for layering, chocolate color detailing in on the collar and pockets, soft to the touch
  • What We Don’t Like: Can’t dry-clean, visible sweat stains until dried 
  • Size Range: XS-XXL
  • Material(s): 100% Polyester

This is by far one of my favorite A&F pieces of the season. The satiny feel of the fabric elevated what would’ve been an everyday, basic style and gave it an extra flair that landed me dozens of compliments when I wore it out and about. It’s roomy and lightweight, yet still has a comfortable fitted silhouette. I was channeling my inner Tony Soprano and everyone could tell how confident this shirt made me feel. 

The Best For Cozy Nights In

7. Essential Popover Hoodie

Abercrombie & Fitch

  • What We Like: Machine washable,  cozy “softAF” fabric, drop-shoulder fit, huge range of color options
  • What We Don’t Like: Some reviewers say it runs a bit big/long, wash before wear
  • Size Range: XXS-XXXL; Regular or Tall
  • Material(s): 70% Cotton, 30% Polyester

According to the reviewers on the A&F site, this hoodie is the perfect fall essential. Cozy, warm and soft to the touch, it’s made to be worn throughout the season for any occasion, be that pumpkin-picking or a casual night out with friends. One particular reviewer stated, “Love this hoodie. I have it in so many colors and will continue to buy more.”

For The Fashionable Sports Fanatic

8. NFL by Abercrombie Tee

Abercrombie & Fitch

  • What We Like: “SoftAF” fabric, relaxed-fit silhouette, crew neckline, machine washable, huge range of teams represented, vintage detailing
  • What We Don’t Like: Some reviewers wish it was softer, others say it runs small
  • Size Range: XS-XXL; Regular
  • Material(s): 100% Cotton

The vintage vibe of the distressed NFL by Ambercrombie tees will help you rep your team in style. Available in dozens of styles, you can show your support for the New York Jets and the Miami Dolphins to the Dallas Cowboys and Seattle Seahawks. 

Best Textured Shirt

9. Camp Collar Textured Button-Up Shirt

Abercrombie & Fitch

  • What We Like: Breathable fabric, the new pinwheel design pattern, machine washable, camp collar
  • What We Don’t Like: Runs a bit oversized, can be too boxy for some people
  • Size Range: XS-XXL; Regular or Tall
  • Material(s): 90% Cotton, 10% Linen

Another top featuring a camp collar? Yep. It’s trending big time this season and for good reason. It creates a flattering neckline that works on nearly every body type and really channels that childhood Boy Scout look (cue the nostalgia). Wear it buttoned up to the top for a more sophisticated take or leave it open with an undershirt for a more relaxed look. Plus, this textured pattern linen version adds a bit more dimension to your ‘fit. 

Best For Autumnal Layering

10. Essential Crew Sweatshirt

Abercrombie & Fitch

  • What We Like: Large range of sizes and colors, oversized fit, drop-shoulder design, “softAF” fabric, versatile staple
  • What We Don’t Like: Need to wash before wear, not as soft as some of their other sweatshirts according to some users
  • Size Range: XXS-XXXL; Regular or Tall
  • Material(s): 70% Cotton, 30% Polyester

What would a closet be without a classic crewneck? This is a staple that works year-round, especially in the fall when the weather can be a bit unpredictable. Unexpectedly chilly day? Throw this guy in your backpack or tote for that little bit of extra warmth. Available in 10 colorways, you’re sure to find one that you can add to your sweatshirt collection. 

Best Roomy Pant

11. Baggy Jean

Abercrombie & Fitch

  • What We Like: Relaxed fit, 100% cotton no-stretch fabric on denim styles, clean hem, broken in feel, baggier wide leg
  • What We Don’t Like: Need to turn inside out and wash before wear to avoid color transfer, cannot dry clean 
  • Size Range: Waist: 28-40; Length: 28-34
  • Material(s): 100% Cotton

There’s truly nothing better than buying a pair of denim jeans that already feel broken-in. A&F’s Baggy Jean, available in 18 colors, patterns and washes, are made to look lived-in. They come in an oversized fit for the on-trend baggy look, perfect for pairing with an oversized top for a more casual style or a structured top to add some sophistication to an otherwise relaxed outfit.

Best Graphic Tee

12. Modelo Graphic Tee

Abercrombie & Fitch

  • What We Like: Vintage-style designs, worn in look, relaxed fit silhouette, “softAF” fabric, crew neckline
  • What We Don’t Like: Some users say it’s a bit small in the chest, must be turned inside out and washed before wearing to avoid color transfer
  • Size Range: XS-XXL; Regular
  • Material(s): 100% Cotton

Crack open a cold one with a shirt to match. This A&F collaboration with various alcohol brands like Modelo, Corona and Buffalo Trace make for a fun graphic tee. They’ve each got their own vintage look and are made with Abercrombie’s “softAF” fabric for that cozy lived-in feel. Bottoms up, gentlemen. Cheers to great graphics. 

Best For The Artsy Guy

13. Camp Collar Summer Linen-Blend Embroidered Shirt

Abercrombie & Fitch

  • What We Like: Camp collar, tons of variation in the embroidered designs, reviewers love the draped and boxy-fit, numerous colorways
  • What We Don’t Like: some reviews find the sleeves to be too long, embroidery can be a bit itchy, can shrink slightly in the dryer
  • Size Range: XS-XXL; Regular
  • Material(s): Varies per style

Finding a top that’s artsy yet understated can be a difficult combo to master, but the Camp Collar Summer Linen-Blend Embroidered Shirt does it quite successfully. Available in a number of colorways, embroidery styles and textures, this top allows you to rock summer florals as the weather transitions to colder fall days. The camp collar isn’t too shabby either. (Can you tell we love a camp collar?!)

For The Amateur Athlete

14. Athletic Straight Jean

Abercrombie & Fitch

  • What We Like: Signature stretch fabric, relaxed-fit silhouette, extra room through hip and thigh, taper ankle, machine washable
  • What We Don’t Like: Need to turn inside out and wash before wear to avoid color transfer, some reviewers report a slight difference in color from photos to product received
  • Size Range: Waist: 28-40; Length: 28-34
  • Material(s): 94% Cotton, 4% Polyester, 2% Elastane

The worst thing about shopping is finding pants that fit exactly right, but the Athletic Straight Jean hits all the marks. From its signature stretch fabric and relaxed silhouette to its tapered ankle and extra room in the hips and thighs, it’s no wonder that it has nearly all 5-star reviews on the ‘Ratings & Reviews’ section on the product page. 

For The Prepster

15. Long-Sleeve Rugby Polo

Abercrombie & Fitch

  • What We Like: Colorblock detailing, “softAF” 180g fabric, oversized fit, drop-shoulder design, the classic contrasting collar
  • What We Don’t Like: Machine wash separately, can’t dry clean
  • Size Range: XS-XXL
  • Material(s): 100% Cotton

Nothing says “autumn” like a rugby polo on a crisp fall day with apple cider in one hand and your little furball’s leash in the other. The classic style paired with a roomier, oversized fit makes for the perfect combo. The neutral colorways deem this polo a solid closet staple. We’d like to think this is the ideal shirt for a walk through the pumpkin patch or on a hayride with your family. However you decide to wear it, this number is top-notch.
