Toms Leandro Trainers
Toms led the espadrille revival in the mid-’00s, but as the slip-ons slipped in popularity, the charitable footwear brand has found a resurgence with its simple sneakers. These new ones have a retro feel with varied materials and textures paired with a fairly chunky sole made fit for modern consumption by the smart navy and grey colourway.

CK One Chinese New Year 100ml
Every year is a CK One year in our book (we ranked it ones of the best men’s fragrances of all time) but not every year is the year of the pig, well, in the Chinese calendar at least.

G-Star Raw x Max Verstappen Overshirt
We’re not quite sure what zooming around a racetrack has to do with men’s fashion, but there’s no denying that Formula 1 wunderkind Max Verstappen’s tie-up with Dutch compatriot G-Star Raw is a podium finish. Inspired by the driver’s laid back, sporty style, it includes sweats, tees and this light-weight, military-inspired overshirt.
Fred Perry x Miles Kane Jacquard Polo Shirt

Pull & Bear Dungarees
To dungaree or not to dungaree, that is the question. The oft-derided garment is having a moment thanks to the rise of the workwear trend. These examples from Pull&Bear come in an easy to wear shade of black, and won’t break the bank should you decide the off-the-clock miner look is not for you.
