Words: Zak Maoui
New clothes drop everyday. New brands pop up equally as often. And we get it, it can be hard to find the stuff that is actually worth spending your wages on. So, each week we'll be bringing you the best new menswear drops on the planet right now. Whether that's a pair of durable loafers from Northamptonshire-based shoemaker Crockett & Jones or one of Prada's cashmere zip-ups, these are the pieces you need to be cashing in on.
Polo Ralph Lauren Wimbledon track jacket
With Wimbledon just around the corner, Ralph Lauren has dropped its annual collection. This unisex track jacket features a tennis-inspired "Polo Ralph Lauren" crest and the tournament's logo intricately embroidered at the front.
Canada Goose Zephyr Jacket
The brainchild of esteemed designer Haider Ackermann, the Zephyr Jacket is a performance-driven technical windbreaker that features vented underarms for enhanced breathability.
Mr Marvis Cosmics shorts
The Short Terries Cosmics by Mr Marvis are the brand's most comfortable shorts yet, cut from super soft, dark blue terry (that's also water-absorbant!) fabric.
Santoni DBS Oly sneaker
An easy pair of trainers for the summer season, these Santoni kicks are made to reflect an archival design that nods to classic tennis shoes from the ‘70s.
Miu Miu jacket
An instant classic, this suede blouson will see you through years and years of wear.

The North Face X Undercover Soukuu Hike Sunshield Bucket Hat
If you're heading to a festival, you might as well do it right. The North Face has dropped its collaborative collection with cult Japanese label Undercover, and you're going to want it all.
Sunspel polo shirt
Made using Egyptian long staple cotton, this polo shirt from master of the style Sunspel is slightly thicker than a classic sports polo shirt, making it ideal for cooler summer evenings.
New Balance Made in USA 992 Shoes
New Balance's legendary Made in USA 992 comes to the Made in USA Seasonal Collection for the first time. Minimal and sleek, the versatile trainers are destined for the gym, the street or just about anywhere else you wish to wear them.

Berghaus Meru Mountain Jacket
Festival season is upon us, and if you're heading to Glastonbury, Wilderness or the similar, you'll need to be prepared for the weather that comes with the Great British Summer. Enter Berghaus.
Santoni Bounce trainers
The Bounce sneaker is a new addition to Italian shoemaker Santoni. It marries a supportive running-inspired design with Santoni’s artisanal savoir-faire. It features a thermoforming treatment - a unique pressing technique that emphasises the shoe’s detailing -, while it is complemented by a modern, chunky rubber sole and micro-perforations on the outers.
Crockett & Jones Lanark 5
Made from Horween's finest dark brown hatch grain shell cordovan with Dainite rubber soles, and a storm welt for added protection from the elements, the Lanark 5 from Crockett & Jones is a worthwhile investment.
Globe-Trotter Carry-On - 4 Wheels
Globe-Trotter's new Metropolis Collection marks the beginning of a new chapter for the brand. The new cases, such as this 4 wheel carry-on, feature the signature elegance of Globe-Trotter while embracing a bold, modern aesthetic.
Monos Aluminum Check-In Medium
What does an Oscar-winning jet setter like Adrien Brody use to travel? A hardback from B Corp-certified brand Monos, of course.
Diesel Pride T-shirt
Pride month is a time to celebrate all things LGBTQ+ and what better way than with a Tom of Finland T-shirt? Touko Valio Laaksonen, known by the pseudonym Tom of Finland, was a world-recognised artist who made highly masculinised erotic art, such as that on this tee.
CDLP jacket
Made of airy Tencel Lyocell poplin and designed in collaboration with the Grand Hôtel in Stockholm, Sweden, this pyjama top is silky soft and terribly chic.
DAKS x John Smedley polo shirt
Two British brands have come together to create a timeless polo shirt. It features the DAKS' House Check in an innovative all-over textured knit, and is crafted from highly sought-after John Smedley’s Sea Island Cotton.
LESTRANGE The Hydrowool Bomber Jacket
This could well be the Platonic ideal of a spring jacket. Cult menswear brand LESTRANGE has taken the essence of a men’s wardrobe staple – a hero item that’s beloved for its classic, organic lines and timeless feel – and has elevated it with a strong emphasis on utility. The shell is made from merino wool, which minimises creasing, is flexible and has a premium feel – and, perhaps most impressive of all, it comprises a breathable ‘fabric membrane’ that is both windproof and waterproof, making it an essential piece for the UK’s ever-changing weather. We also appreciate the fully lined sleeves, which dial up the wearability, and the tailored fit and pared-down appearance make sure it doesn’t look like a technical piece. It’s best worn with neutral trousers and unembellished sneakers and is also appropriate for year-round wear.
LESTRANGE The 360° Blazer
Dressing for travel has long been a pain point for the modern professional – you want something that’s smart enough for business, comfortable for the trip, and is almost immune to creasing so that you can move from arrivals to your meeting without needing to head to the hotel to iron your ensemble. The 360° Blazer, courtesy of LESTRANGE, makes a strong claim to being the ultimate piece for those on-the-move. It has the elegant, evergreen appeal of a traditional navy blazer, but this take has been elevated and modernised with a technical fabric that’s tough to wrinkle and is resistant to water. Moreover, it’s unstructured and has a four-way stretch, allowing for ease of movement throughout the journey. In terms of aesthetics, the patch pockets give it a contemporary look, meaning it can work with casual pieces (plain T-shirts and chinos) as well as dressier ones (Oxford shirts and tailored trousers).
Émigré Garment Organiser
This might well be the ultimate travel-wardrobe workhorse. Émigré – the brand kitting out the modern professional – streamlines the packing process with this sleek, pared-back and purely practical Garment Organiser. Measuring slightly bigger than a standard portfolio, it unzips into two main compartments: one half is intended for shirts (a removable plate provides extra support and doubles up as a folding board); the other features two small zippered mesh pockets for socks and underwear, and a larger zippered section for a pair of trousers. Perhaps most nifty of all is the external pocket in which you can place worn items. It’s ideal for business trips that last 1–3 days.
Tracksmith Session Tee
This new T-shirt from Tracksmith has versatility in mind. In terms of aesthetics, it comes in a range of universally appealing, timeless colourways (we rather like the royal, navy and ivory options). The design is also completely stripped back, ensuring that the piece is wearable in many scenarios. Then, in terms of functionality, it’s crafted from a lightweight, moisture-wicking and antimicrobial stretch knit, meaning it can take you from gentle Sunday runs to longer distances. Because it has a relaxed fit, and because of its breathability, we also like to wear it when travelling for work.
Gant 240 Mulberry Street jumper
Channel Ivy League prep in one of Gant's new cable knit jumpers from its premium 240 Mulberry Street line.
Berghaus Trango Gore-Tex Waterproof Jacket
As we all know, any British heatwave is fool’s gold – so, it’ll be no time before the mercurial climes return to these shores. For showers and miserable days, we recommend falling back on this contemporary classic, one that’s favoured by Liam Gallagher. It’s a modern-day take on an icon from the Berghaus stable and features three layers of Gore-Tex, meaning water is kept firmly out, and you can tighten the waist, hem and cuffs to add further security against any breeze. We rather enjoy the block colouring, as it adds vibrancy to overcast periods, and the four front pockets ensure your essentials aren’t holed up in one spot.
Columbia Boulder Falls Waterproof Jacket
Being caught between rain and high temperatures can often be a challenge when it comes to dressing; if you go with something too light, the water can seep through; something too heavy, and your perspiration goes up. This new piece by Columbia uses tech that fully seals out moisture, preventing you from getting hit by a downpour – and the mesh lining allows for breathability. We’re also fans of the label’s Challenger Windbreaker Anorak for its bold colour options and ability to pack away easily.
Steamery x KITH steamer
A steamer is a man's best friend for ease and convenience when getting ready in the morning. Now the Steamery's handy little gadget comes stamped with the KITH seal of approval.
Phil Dunster x Young Lives T-shirt
Star of Ted Lasso Phil Dunster is heading to the West End stage, where he will host a gala spectacular filled with incredible talent for a cause close to his heart. After Phil’s cousin Matt and his wife Amy’s son, Rory, was diagnosed with cancer at four months old, Young Lives vs Cancer provided support. The evening will be in honour of the late Rory, and the proceeds from the sales of this T-shirt will be donated to Young Lives vs Cancer and CLIC Sargent Cancer Care for Children.
Danner Bull Run Boots
Heritage Portland bootmaker Danner has long made the case that dressing for the outdoors needn’t sacrifice style for utility.Among its accomplished roster, we’re drawn to the Bull Run model – the detailing is kept to a minimum, bar a small American flag and contrasting stitching and laces, making it perfect to pair with other stripped-back menswear essentials,and the full-grain-leather upper makes for that covetable combination of sturdy and soft.The wedge sole simply adds another touch of interest.
Paul & Shark knitted polo shirt
Paul & Shark is spelling the Italian summer's end with the Winter Riviera collection, as seen in its latest ad campaign. This knit is cut from 100 per cent wool, and styled with a zip closure and long raglan sleeves for a flattering fit without restriction.
Belstaff Centenary jacket
To celebrate Belstaff's centenary, the British brand has introduced the 'Our First 100 Years' capsule. The Centenary field jacket has modular functionality, as the Centenary Quilt jacket can be zipped into it for extra warmth (sold separately), and it is made from the signature Belstaff dry wax cotton with hexagonal ripstop construction.
Sunspel bespoke T-shirt
A bespoke T-shirt offer has been a long-standing request from Sunspel customers, and a new in-store service is now an extension of something the brand have been doing on a special basis for years. Customers can visit the store and basically create their own tee, choosing from a variety of fabrics, including the classic Supima Superfine, midweight, heavyweight, Sea Island, and Silk Cotton. You can select different body and arm lengths, neck finishes, and add pockets to create the perfect fit tee.
Belstaff x Grenson boots
Part of a collaboration between iconic British footwear brand Grenson and equally as iconic label Belstaff, each pair of these boots is Goodyear welted, with a full leather insole and a reinforced base. Proper British stuff.
Fendi "Mad" bag
This new Peekaboo bag resulted from a conversation between Silvia Venturini Fendi and the international architecture firm “MAD”, known for its futuristic and technologically innovative vision in tune with the environment and humanity.
Paul Smith cycling jersey
Over the course of its six-decade history, Paul Smith has kept close connections to the world of cycling, owing to its founders obsession with the sport. Now the British label has launched a huge collection of its own gear, which comprises everything from helmets and gloves to this branded cycling jersey.
