The Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Latte is back, and yuh gurl is very happy about it. I haven’t regularly drank coffee in years, ever since a caffeine detox from my two-cups-of-coffee-a-day habit ahead of a juice cleanse years ago almost killed me.

However.

I make an exception in the fall — now, I guess, in pre-fall? — for the Pumpkin Spice Latte.

I love it so much, and I think I love it even more because of how the enthusiasm around its return is derided. The also as-basic-as-she-is-beloved Taylor Alison Swift said “The worst kind of person is someone who makes someone feel bad, dumb or stupid for being excited about something.”

That’s how I feel about the return of Starbucks’ PSL hitting in late August. If you don’t like it, don’t tell me. 

In celebration of this fan favorite, Team SG rounded up stylish men’s outfit ideas inspired by the Pumpkin Spice Latte.

I even tried to Do Business™ by pitching this feature as a proper partnership, but the fall lineup train was already out of the station before we could jump on. Starbucks, call us, though! Let’s talk holiday cups!

Below, men’s fall style inspired by the return of the iconic-whether-you-like-it-or-not Pumpkin Spice Latte

I absolutely love this plaid shirt jacket. It’s giving nutmeg! It’s giving cinnamon! It’s giving pumpkin cream cold brew aesthetic!

Sorry summer-themed drinks. Your time is over.

This outfit says, It’s still pretty warm in the afternoon, but the orange beanie says, It’s time for the return of fall drinks, and the return of a closet that looks like when the first leaves change color.

If the Pumpkin Spice Latte was a person.

Trade the sandals for Chukka boots or your favorite sneakers when the temperature dips.
