SPOTLIGHT

Season of Texture

As temperatures drop and the days grow shorter, this is the season when menswear comes alive through texture. From brushed suede to nubby tweed, supple leather to heavyweight knits. We love it all.

According to the latest coverage from Esquire and The Journal by Mr Porter, fall’s most compelling looks are defined by touch as much as by tone.

It’s the moment to lean into tactile layering and nothing anchors those rich materials better than Italian craftsmanship underfoot. Here are three refined ways we’re styling JB Ander loafers this season:

With Wool: The Vivaldi Venetian loafer adds quiet confidence beneath charcoal flannel trousers and a ribbed rollneck.

With Corduroy: Contrast the soft sheen of the Shark tuxedo slipper against earthy corduroy in shades of tobacco or olive.

With Suede: Let the Valedictorian tassel loafer meet its textural match — a suede overshirt or shearling-lined jacket for crisp November evenings.

Culture & Travel

A Weekend in Austin

Still riding high from our incredible pop-up at Grand Prix race weekend, we collected some of the best ways to do an Austin weekend in style:

Stay: Hotel Saint Cecilia, a soulful hideaway in South Austin where rock ’n’ roll meets refined design.
See: The Contemporary Austin: Laguna Gloria, an Italianate villa turned art haven on the lake’s edge.
Sip: A mezcal cocktail at P6, the rooftop bar at The LINE Hotel, as the sun sets over Town Lake.
Shop: South Congress Avenue, a stretch of curated boutiques and bootmakers defining Austin cool.
Savor: Dinner at Otoko, a 12-seat sushi mecca where chef Yoshi Okai balances punk rock flair with a multi-sensory omakase experience.

OBJECT OF DESIRE

The New Scarf

Gone are the days when the only thing around your neck was a standard tie. Now, a fine silk scarf worn as a neck piece gives you the same collar-zone attention as a tie without the formality. That supple drape of silk instantly says “intentional” rather than “corporate.” In fact, style guides note that in Italy a silk scarf is “about comfort meeting couture… the scarf-as-tie look isn’t about rules. It’s about rebellion wrapped in refinement.” Men Style Fashion

And because JB Ander lives at the intersection of luxury footwear and elevated accessories, pairing a silk neck piece with our loafers becomes a full–head-to-toe statement of polished casual. The loafer sets the ground tone; the silk around the neck lifts it. The result: you’re grounded in craftsmanship and texture from sole to collar.

Why this matters now for JB Ander style-makers:

A silk neck piece offers elegant visual focus around the face and collar, echoing the precision and attention to detail in our footwear.
Matching refined neckwear with premium loafers sends a cohesive message: you don’t just flirt with style. You own it, top to bottom.
It’s a subtle departure from the classic tie-and-suit formula, perfect for men who are comfortable being elevated without being formal.

Styling Tip:

Select a subdued silk scarf (low sheen, think twill or crepe, around 60×80 cm or the long skinny variant) in a tone that complements your loafer’s leather. Knot it loosely, perhaps just once under the collar of an open-collar shirt or lightweight blazer. Let the scarf flow with ease. Then step into your JB Ander loafers and you’ve created a seamless, elegant outfit that says you know the value of both heritage materials and sartorial audacity.
