River Island Brown Suede Biker Jacket
While a bona fide menswear classic, a black biker jacket can read several shades of Grease on the wrong guy. So stand out by opting for brown, instead. River Island’s suede iteration is a welcome pivot from the norm, but still embraces everything we like about the T-Bird essential (which, thankfully, doesn’t include white socks and black shoes).
A Day’s March Wool Scarf
Terrace-style scarves have been called off the bench and are the first name on the team sheet this season. But to avoid being given a red card during the nine-to-five, show your colours in a more subtle way, with this handsome lambswool version from Swedish label A Day’s March.
Maison Labiche x Paddington T-Shirt
Sure, it sounds a bit ‘creepy manchild’ to walk around with a children’s character on your top, but Maison Labiche’s collaboration with Paddington Bear gets a pass. The French firm has applied everyone’s favourite marmalade-eating mammal to the chest of a premium white T-shirt cut from 100 per cent jersey cotton, perfect for slotting under a duffel coat.
Gant Rugger Loose Tab Chino
Breathe a sigh of relief – skintight is no longer the go-to fit for your lower half. Gant Rugger’s new loose tab chinos skim as opposed to suffocate your limbs, cutting a flattering shape that won’t cut off your blood thanks to a Hollywood waistband with adjustable side tabs.
Penfield Colour Block Pop Over Jacket
Nineties outerwear has done a Quantum Leap straight into AW17 streetwear. This half-zip windbreaker from US heritage brand Penfield brings back the sporty vibe with its block colours, big bear logo and Lycra cuffs and hem. The silhouette is pure 1992, but the lightweight, breathable nylon is modern, keeping out the wind and rain without feeling like you’re wearing a bin liner.
Timex x Goodhood Anniversary MK1 Watch
If you thought your 10th birthday was a banger, check out Goodhood’s anniversary collaboration with US watch brand Timex. A limited-edition civilian version of the MK1 model adopted by the US Army, it enlists a sleek nylon strap, custom typeface and respectable Japanese movement into an all-black colourway.
Vans x Wood Wood OG Old Skool LX
The latest take on Vans’ never-uncool Old Skool design comes from cult Danish label Wood Wood, which is celebrating its 15th birthday this year. The stripped-back colourway clashes nicely with the midsole’s loud typography, while the gum detail at the toes is a throwback touch that’ll keep old-school sportswear fans happy.
David Gandy For Autograph Printed Dressing Gown
If you want to look like David Gandy in the morning, well, good luck with that. But you can at least don the man’s own designer dressing gown, part of his Autograph collection with Marks & Spencer. The cotton robe comes with a fine print and luxury shawl neckline. Granite jawline and piercing stare sold separately.
Topman Charcoal Grey Mohair Turtle Neck Jumper
When it’s cold outside, you need mo’ hair on your chest. Quite literally. Mohair – a thick, fuzzy yarn made from the wool of Angora goats – is the smart man’s winter knitwear choice because it’s both durable and luxurious to the touch. Throw in the roll neck design on this charcoal option from Topman and you’ll be insulated in style.
Beoplay P2 x Saint Laurent
It’s hard to ignore a portable speaker. It’s even harder to ignore one with Saint Laurent emblazoned across the front of it. This team-up between the Parisian label and luxury audio behemoth Bang & Olufson features 360-degree sound dispersion so that it doesn’t come over all tinny, as many portable speakers do. You’ll also get 10 hours playback from a single charge. Just don’t think that permits you to play it on the train.
CDLP Long Johns
CDLP are made from an ecologically-friendly material that regulates your body temperature, is softer than cotton, smoother than silk and odour resistant. That good enough for you, Gramps?
Eastpak x Maison Kitsuné Tote Bag
This tote bag may come in camouflage, but there’s not much that’s undercover about it. Eastpak’s latest collaboration with Maison Kitsuné sees the latter’s logo splashed all over the straps alongside its signature fox print. Spacious with a reinforced closure that keeps your goods safe, this is one shopper that belongs in the shop window.
