THE WEEKEND:

We're fast-approaching Fall, gents and for this weekend's shortlist, THE EDGE brings you some great transitional stuff to ponder on.

Without further a do, welcome to this weekend's awesome shortlist of things to love now (and forever).

+ EVER SAW CHIC BEFORE?
Clement Chabernaud doing some great modeling for H&M's chicest collection to date
I slapped myself when I saw what H&M has to offer this fall. It's that chic. From a two-toned sports coat paired with plum trousers to a handsome high-collared parka to awesome khaki trousers...The options are endless and what's great is that they all are the chicest pieces your bucks could buy. While the great stuff are expensive, H&M makes sure that there's little pain in the spending and more joy in the wearing. Highly-recommended folks, this fall, head down to H&M, go crazy over their really cool pieces and see where these combinations could get you. To H&M, you have done your chicest collection to date and this has to be my favorite. 

+ THE LEATHER JACKET

Vanson + Junya Watanabe Comme des Garcons eYe leather jacket @ HighSnobiety
There are rules to buying the "perfect" leather jacket and one of those rules is to avoid the flashy, zippery kind. But, really, if this collaboration presents itself to you and you have all the money in the world to buy it, would you follow rules or break them? I'd definitely break them. This Vanson and Junya Watanabe Comme des Garcons eYe leather jacket is a beaut. Made out of the highest quality leather, it's an iconic design that despite naysayers, will probably be your favorite leather jacket. Amen? Amen!


+ OLDIES but definitely GOODIES

1940s Monobloco Rolex and more to be auctioned @ A Continuous Lean
Rolexes are surely treasures. But vintage Rolexes will haunt your dreams. Check out Sotheby's, Christie's and Antiquorum for those rare Daytonas, Pan Am pilots' GMT models from the 50s-60s, and more. While I'm no watch enthusiast, I appreciate a valuable timepiece when I see one and these vintage pieces are worth the bucks. Especially now that they've gone through some fine wearing, it's awfully more charming (probably less valuable) but as ACL puts it, it's different in our eyes.

+ IMPOSSIBLY COOL
Let's Get Lost, the jazz kid sings. Chet Baker @ The Impossible Cool
It's been long overdue. Yes, The Impossible Cool is a tumblr you'd dream of curating. Kudos to its owner for putting together the chicest, most legendary and stylish people of decades past and just giving us of the now some cool inspiration. From Chet Baker to Twiggy to Robert Redford, everyone's here folks and it's about time you follow them.
