It’s finally starting to feel like fall. And the changing season means it’s a great time to re-evaluate your personal style and check out the latest trends.
Men, I’m looking at you.
To find out what’s trending for fall, Business Insider checked with Bombfell, a clothing subscription service exclusively for men.
The 6-year-old startup, which is based out of New York, is one of the earliest subscription box services. It has a familiar business model: A stylist picks out several items, ships them, and customers only pay for what they decide to keep. Bombfell’s average price point is about $89 per item.
Bombfell ccurrently has clients in all 50 states who are typically well-dressed but not exactly fashion-obsessed.
"They’re more on the classic, casual side," Angela Su, Bombfell’s director of inventory strategy, told Business Insider. "They’re not wearing the latest, hottest trends off the runway. But I think what’s really cool is that there are certain overall macro trends and we see how they interpret them in a way that’s very wearable."
Su helped us interpret what some of those trends are for this fall and winter, and how men can easily add them into their wardrobes. Hint: It’s all about comfort.
Take a look:

"A classic staple in a guy’s closets is khaki pants, but we’ve found this season is that we’re really straying more toward a tobacco color — really warm khaki," Su said. "And guys always wear navy pants, but this year we’re trying navy pants with a more teal cast, like a sort of rich jewel tone."
Su also mentioned that dusty, faded Earth tones — almost like a sun-bleached effect — are also popular for fall.
2. A rise in denim

"We used to sell way more pants than jeans, but now they’re becoming neck-in-neck," Su said.
Su said Bombfell has noticed more innovation in the denim itself, like stretch or special fabrics to increase comfort.
3. Organic textures

"Texture gives a lot of depth and life to a garment," Su said. "Something might be a pretty solid color, but making it out of a textured fabric makes it look a little more organic and natural."
Textured fabrics "elevate" the garment, Su said, and invite you to look closer. She recommended slub fabrics, mélange fabrics, and anything with an interesting knit.
