£79.95; moss.co.uk
Last week (and beyond)... Burberry
British designer Daniel Lee keeps the pieces classic and simple for his Burberry Lunar New Year 2025 collection. The use of red, as we're sure you know, is a nod to the red envelopes exchanged between south east Asian families on the holiday.

The Row
New year, same The Row. Not that we'd want anything other than ultra-tasteful, thoughtfully made from the quiet luxury label.
£2,210; brownsfashion.com

Ssstufff’s puffer shirt and tie, which is practical as it is fly, is putting the Barcelona-based set-up on the map. It’s corpcore chic bulked up for the winter! And get this: it’s reversible! Stripes on one side, block blue on the other.
£379; ssstufff.com
Cactus Plant Flea Market x SpongeBob SquarePants x Uniqlo
Uniqlo is good at giving the people what they want. Affordable designs by Jonathan Anderson. Cuddly Kaws collectibles. And now, a collection by Cactus Plant Flea Market – the buzzy streetwear label founded by Cynthia Lu, former assistant to Pharrell, which is rarely accessible. For the launch of the available-in-shopping-centres collection, Lu has called on an icon of pop culture: SpongeBob SquarePants. Naturally, he’s brought his friends from Bikini Bottom with him.

£105; rowingblazers.com
Queer x JW Anderson
Merch for Luca Guadagino’s latest film (Queer, starring Daniel Craig) by the costume designer of the film (Jonathan Anderson) released under his namesake label (JW Anderson). Chic.

Crocs
A slipper: a) you can wear beyond your drive, b) that’ll still be intact next year and c) are Christmas-y enough to gift.
£54.99; crocs.co.uk

Elphaba just brought capes back (don’t tell Edna!). We prefer ours hooded, chequered and waterproof – just how The North Face has started doing them.
£315; thenorthface.co.uk
JJJJound x Descente
Via a collaboration, cult normcore label JJJJound is throwing the spotlight onto respected yet often overlooked Japanese outerwear label, Descente. Our pick from the dual-branded bits? This long-sleeve quarter-zip situation.

£155; cos.com
Pleasing x JW Anderson
Whilst most are excited to see Harry Styles in this cardi he co-designed with Jonathan Anderson, we're petitioning to see it on the entirely adorable Carl Fredricksen – the ultimate balloon master. Fingers crossed it floats into Pixar's world of animation in enough time for him to throw it on for the inevitable Up sequel.
£650; jwanderson.com
Joe Freshgoods x Sprite
Joe Freshgoods is always shaking up something. This week: Sprite. Of course, he executes the could've-been-naff project with his usual flair, finding ways to implement The Coca-Cola Company branding to create some refreshing bits for the wishlist.
$50; joefreshgoods.com
Burberry
It's what makes sense for December. Especially if you're a Brit.
£350; burberry.com
Veneda Carter x Timberland
Considering the buzz around her patent leather take on the wheat 6-Inch Boot, it’s no surprise that Timberland has reunited with LA-based Scandinavian stylist Veneda Carter on another stomper. This time round she’s gone all Tin Man for Wicked winter.
£509; stockx.com
Yard Sale
Here’s a burgeoning British skatewear label for your radar: Yardsale. It makes the kind of so-anti-fashion-it’s-fashion pieces you’d hope to chance upon in a skateboard boutique, like this quite 2000s chenille zip-up.
£104.95; yardsale-xxx.com
A Day’s March
Speaking of serendipitous finds, we met David Snowden, the dapper store director of the only A Day’s March store in the nation, last week.

Now, he inspires stylish individuals like us to invest in its forever pieces, such as its quality with a capital Q blue boiled merino wool sweater.
£113; adaysmarch.com
Nothing
You probably know English set-up Nothing does good earbuds. You MIGHT know it also does a well-reviewed phone. But did you know it does clothes? Weighty, logo-less, foolproof garms, might we add.
£80; goodhoodstore.com
The Row
A The Row suit jacket crafted from cashmere-blend corduroy = a cheat code to securing the Best Dressed Award at that upcoming end-of-year do.
£2,870; mrporter.com
Ōshadi
Ōshadi is a brand that deserves to be named alongside the likes of Bode, Story MFG and Kartik Research as it too creates fantastic fashions for the folksy kind.
£276; oshadi.in
KidSuper x Captain Morgan
Colm Dillane is a busy man. One day he’s releasing a music video with some rap legends, the next he’s releasing a very wearable sweatshirt in collaboration with a household rum brand. We wholeheartedly hope the child-like New Yorker stays this creative and playful forever.
£123; kidsuper.com
Métier

R.M. Williams

Extra points if they work beyond your back yard, like these spruce R.M Williams ones definitely do.
£499; rmwilliams.com
NN.07
Christmassy, cosy, grown-up, black and white.
So, the cardi version of It’s a Wonderful Life.

To give the wordmark on his Guinness collab sweatshirts a frothy look, Jonathan Anderson – a designer foaming to the brim with ideas – has used imitation pearls.
£890; jwanderson.com
Jameson x Admiral
On the topic of alcohol-inspired attire, how about a whiskey-inspired tracksuit soaked in gallons of Irish charm?
£28; jamesonwhiskey.com

Puma continues its relationship with New York's Noah for another season which means more Central Park-coded pieces of athletic influences.
£54.99; bstn.com
Fera
Fera calls itself a “love letter to the British outdoors”.
Fittingly, its first foray into knitwear is just the thing for winter walks in the countryside. Pair with some straight-leg mid-wash Levi's and a pair of brown Danner boots for a timeless, versatile fit. You could even layer it over a white shirt on days you're feeling fancy.
£140; feragb.
Undercover x The North Face
Tokyo's Undercover and San Fran's The North Face have created some more clothes together under their Soukuu line, like this very handsome mountain jacket.

£420; selfridges.com

A formidable cashmere coat by a seriously good modern British tailor, made for the gentlemen who brook no nonsense.
£3,495; thomsweeney.com

£205; teklafabrics.com
Troubadour
A backpack for people who don't do backpacks, Troubadour's Apex 3.0 is built for modern life. Its minimalist exterior belies maximalist insides: there's pockets for laptop, pens, keys, folders, power bank, even an AirTag, and all ergonomically cushioned. Comes in larger, or a mini version.
£245; troubadourgoods.com
Corvidae x Ditch
It's a wonderful thing to witness rising creatives working together, innovating new products like a puffer that can be broken down into a gilet and reconstructed again.
Shoutout to London's Corvidae and Los Angeles' Ditch.
£128; ditch.la
Gant 240 Mulberry Street
This corduroy blazer from Gant's old school-focused 240 Mulberry Street line (named, as you've probably already guessed, after the location of its base in NYC) is such a belter, it can hold its own with jeans.
£475; gant.co.uk
Charlie Constantinou x 66° North
Another collab that's just as exciting as the day it launched: Charlie Constantinou x 66° North. Oh, the fun we would have styling these trousers (we're thinking of really LEANING into the fireman vibes).

A kiss around the waist, courtesy of the leather goods guys at Duke and Dexter.
£80; dukeanddexter.com

Your grandkids are going to really appreciate you handing this one down.

Gallery Dept x Ugg
Gallery Dept – the brainchild of LA-based artist Josué Thomas – gives Ugg's classic footwear silhouettes a shake-up for a second consecutive year. And this time, sustainability is at the centre of the collection: these Tasmans, for example, are crafted from recycled canvas bags.
£390; ugg.com
Dirty London
Whilst acid wash jeans still carry connotations of mistakes made in the early '10s, acid wash velour feels very fresh, very right now.
This particular pair of trousers arise from Juice Couture's new menswear label, Dirty London.
£230; dirtylondon.co.uk
Sims Wear
For channelling Fred Rogers in a 2024 way. Just add a good tie, a crisp white shirt and some chinos.
£185; simswear.com
Engineered Garments x Hamilton
Military-inspired fashion marque Engineered Garments has taken 1999 Hamilton Khaki Field Titaniums – a go-to watch for soldiers past and present – and shrunk them from 38mm to 36mm.
The result is a wrist accessory worth going to war for.

Hiking high-tops cushy enough to wear all day long. In other words: these boots are made for walking, and that's just what they'll do.

£139; tomwoodproject.com
Lewis Hamilton x Dior

£1,250; dior.com
JW Anderson x Uniqlo
Affordable Jonathan Anderson designs once more! For AW24, the Irish designer has gone big on the farmhouse vibes for his collaboration with Uniqlo: there are knits that are sheep-y in textile and colour, Folklore flannels, quilted jackets that shout “I own a shotgun” and super cute, homely (we use that adjective because tea cosies come to mind) beanies.
£19.90; uniqlo.com
Angelo Baque x Champion
It’s a beautiful thing to see Angelo Baque (founder of Awake NY) use his collab with Champion to show champion (hehe) his Ecuadorian ancestors. By way of latin American graphics, he brings literal and figurative colour to these open-bottom lounge pants.
£120; championstore.com
Mango
Alpaca fabric gives the v-neck polo the audacity to appear in Mango's autumn/winter collection. We rate that kind of energy.

Sound Fergalicious?
£4,500; louisvuitton.com

£400; thenorthface.co.uk
Aimé Leon Dore
Of course you want your winter jacket to be from Aimé Leon Dore. Perhaps its use of Gore-Tex (the waterproof, windproof, breathable material that’s made to last) on this parka right here will help you justify the purchase this year round?
£880; aimeleondore.com
J.Lindeberg
Marty Supreme is Josh Safdie’s upcoming film set in the 1950s. Timothèe Chalamet is in it wearing some leather gloves that are as handsome as him. Here’s some we will be grabbing this winter for our pursuit to emulate the look.
£75; jlindeberg.com
John Lobb
Please welcome to the stage, the Smith – John Lobb’s go at a little rock ‘n’ roll.
