One of the most wonderful things about the Fall/Winter season is all the rich autumn inspired colours. This year we saw quite the lovely spectrum of oranges and reds, from amber to chestnut, brandy to oxblood. These decadent hues work well paired with each other, or as a great accent to warm up a dreary January day.

Originally inspired by the footwear worn by Burmese soldiers in the 1940's, the Desert Boot has since become a great casual look for men.  Often constructed with suede or nubuck, these mid-height boots are defined by their two or three eyelets for lacing and their loose fit around the ankle.
