" For this weekend&amp;#039;s shopping, as you transition into fall, our Stock Tips roundup offers shoes for the most advanced fashion folks, and a pair for how those of you just looking to update your look a tiny bit. Also: the one oxford shirt, officially co-signed by Esquire&amp;#039;s fashion editors, that solidifies gray as the official color of a man&amp;#039;s fall wardrobe. See the picks from the owners and buyers of three of America&amp;#039;s most influential retailers below.  Gray John Varvatos Suede Desert Boot &amp;quot;Three things make this shoe an early stand out. First, the color: Men see only black or brown in their shoe closet and gray is a popular new coloration. It works well with all casual, sporty looks for fall. Second, the combination of suede and casual: Men have taken years to understand suede as a material for dress shoes and it&amp;#039;s exciting to see them now understand it works for casual styles as well. Finally, the price: That&amp;#039;s a lot of shoe for under $200!&amp;quot; ($198) \u2014Andrew Mitchell-Namdar, VP of Marketing, Mitchells Family Stores, 359 Greenwich Avenue, Greenwich, Connecticut, (203) 622-0551  Hamilton 1883 Oxford &amp;quot;Our friends at Hamilton 1883 just sent us our first assortment of shirting for fall. As expected, these styles are even better than last season&amp;#039;s. The enduring quality of the shirts, combined with the fact that they are hand cut and sewn right here in Houston, has helped Hamilton quickly become a favorite. Out of the mix, our favorite is their relaxed classic oxford in a great, subtle gray: It comes prewashed and is meant to be worn un-tucked.&amp;quot; ($195) \u2014Iris Trent Sif, co-owner, Mortar, 1844 Westheimer, Houston, (713) 529-000  BB Washed Black Cassetta Moto Boot &amp;quot;An evocative blend of motorcycle styling and Blade Runner sensibilities from the Italian based Bruno Bordese&amp;#039;s diffusion line BB Washed. I am most drawn to the defining textural elements of these boots with their washed down quilted leather uppers, exterior and interior zippers, and a vulcanized rubber sole.&amp;quot; ($498) \u2014Kimberly Christenson, buyer, OAK, 28 Bond Street, New York, (212) 677-1293 "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
