The Best New Menswear Pieces To Buy Right Now

Reclaimed Vintage Romeo & Juliet T-Shirt

Whether you spend Valentine’s Day alone or mess up dinner reservations (again), at least your love life isn’t as tragic as Romeo + Juliet’s. Inspired by Baz Luhrmann’s iconic film version, the latest collection from ASOS’ homegrown label is a subtle way to get the Leo look. Available at ASOS, priced £35.

Dr. Martens x Engineered Garments Shoes

Fusing the best of British with the coolness of New York, Dr. Marten’s collaboration with Engineered Garments offers up a premium take on the iconic 1461 shoe. Keeping the spirit of Northamptonshire’s finest shoemakers with the addition of asymmetric ghillie lacing and five military-inspired colourways, these are future utilitarian classics. Available at select boutiques and Dr. Martens retail stores from 25 February, priced £180.

Happy Socks x Billionare Boys Club Camo Socks

Pharrell’s menswear label has a mantra: ‘wealth is of the heart and mind, not of the pocket’. So if you’re still feeling the post-Christmas pinch, this collaboration with hosiery brand Happy Socks means you can get some limited edition Billionare Boys Club in your wardrobe without getting a call from your bank manager. Available at Selfridges, priced £15.

Stone Island Cotton Shirt Jacket

Following on from its archive exhibition at London menswear event Jacket Required last week, Stone Island is reclaiming its stake as a menswear tour de force outside of the terraces. This lightweight shirt-jacket (or ‘shacket’, if you’re up on your fashion terminology) is perfect for in-between weather, and the sleek matte hardware and charcoal colour will pair perfectly with chinos and denim. Available at Mr Porter, priced £245.

New Look Grey Check Cropped Suit Trouser

Checks were all over the runways at London Fashion Week Men’s for AW17, so these trousers are an easy way to get ahead of the game. There’s also a matching jacket for a smart formal getup, or go solo and team them with a crisp white T-shirt and Stan Smiths for a casual look that shows you have your ear to the ground when it comes to style. Available at New Look, priced £24.99.

Cheap Monday Wannabe Black Knit

Not just the hipster’s skinny denim destination of choice, turns out Cheap Monday also makes equally edgy knitwear. The attention to detail on this relaxed-fit Wannabe knit, including a high split neck and go-faster stripes on the sleeves, makes it perfect weekend wear. And of course, it sits perfectly with a pair of jeans. Available at Cheap Monday, priced £60.

Native Youth Striped Short Sleeved Shirt

Vertical stripes are set to be a big trend for summer, but best avoid looking like a deckchair by choosing a calm colourway that will play well with neutrals. This shirt from young menswear brand Native Youth brings a modern update to the classic silhouette. Cut from expensive-feeling and lightweight viscose, it’s a guaranteed regular addition to your wardrobe rotation. Available at Native Youth, priced £35.
