Fall in Pittsburgh has a way of sneaking up on you. One minute you're sipping iced coffee in short sleeves, the next you're reaching for something warmer as the leaves start to turn. If you're looking to update your wardrobe with pieces that feel current but still timeless, you're in the right place. At Larrimor’s, we’ve been curating a selection that blends comfort, style, and just the right amount of polish. Let’s talk about a few standout items that are making waves this season—starting with a shirt jacket that’s anything but ordinary.
Why the Monroe Shirt Jacket Is Your New Go-To
Think of the Monroe shirt jacket as the stylish cousin of your favorite blazer. It’s structured enough to look intentional, but relaxed enough to wear on a casual Friday—or any day, really. The beauty of this piece lies in its versatility. Whether you're heading to a dinner in Shadyside or grabbing coffee in Sewickley, it fits the bill without trying too hard.
It’s also a smart choice for those in-between days when a full coat feels like overkill, but a sweater just won’t cut it. The Monroe gives you that extra layer without the bulk, and it does it with a modern edge. You’ll appreciate the clean lines, the subtle texture, and the way it instantly pulls your outfit together.
Layering Made Simple: The PYA Knit
Underneath the Monroe, we’ve added a PYA knit in a soft gray. Why gray? Because it plays well with just about everything. It’s understated, but not boring. And when you’re layering, you want pieces that complement rather than compete. This knit does exactly that.
It’s lightweight enough to wear indoors without overheating, but still warm enough to keep you comfortable when the temperature dips. Plus, the texture adds a bit of visual interest without being loud. It’s the kind of piece you’ll reach for again and again—whether you’re dressing it up or keeping things low-key.
PT01 Corduroy: A Fresh Take on a Classic
Corduroy has come a long way from its retro roots. The PT01 Torino corduroy trousers we’ve brought in are a perfect example of how this fabric can feel current. They’re tailored, refined, and available in a few rich, fall-ready shades. Think deep olive, warm caramel, and classic navy—colors that pair effortlessly with the rest of your wardrobe.
These trousers strike a nice balance between comfort and structure. They’ve got just enough stretch to move with you, but they hold their shape throughout the day. Whether you’re heading into the office or out for a weekend brunch, they’re a solid choice that adds texture and depth to your look.
Shoes That Step Up Your Style
Let’s talk footwear. Because no outfit is complete without the right pair of shoes. We’re currently stocking a Chucka boot from Santoni that checks all the boxes: sleek, comfortable, and versatile. It’s the kind of boot that works just as well with denim as it does with tailored trousers.
Prefer something a bit more casual? We’ve also got a suede tennis shoe from Santoni that we can order for you. It’s clean, minimal, and adds a relaxed touch to your outfit without sacrificing style. Pair it with the PT01 cords and you’ve got a look that’s polished but not too buttoned-up.
Finishing Touches That Matter
Accessories might seem like an afterthought, but they’re often what pulls everything together. A Dion sock adds a subtle pop of pattern or color—just enough to show you’ve thought about the details. And the LEN belt? It’s the kind of piece that quietly does its job while still looking sharp.
These finishing touches might be small, but they make a big difference. They show that you care about the full picture, not just the main pieces. And when everything works together, you feel more confident stepping out the door.
Why It All Works—Especially Here in Pittsburgh
Let’s be honest: Pittsburgh weather keeps you on your toes. One day it’s sunny and 70, the next it’s gray and brisk. That’s why having a few reliable, stylish layers in your rotation is key. The Monroe shirt jacket, PYA knit, and PT01 cords give you options. They let you adjust without sacrificing style.
And because we’re local, we get it. We know what works here—not just in terms of weather, but lifestyle. Whether you’re heading to a gallery opening downtown, a Steelers game, or just running errands in the Strip District, these pieces fit right in.
