As the linen shirts are folded and stored, it’s the softer, cosier fabrics that ease their way into the rotation. Luca Faloni’s cashmere-cotton shirt strikes the perfect balance between comfort and elegance, combining the breathability of cotton with cashmere’s signature texture. The muted Steel Blue iteration lends itself to effortless layering, while the relaxed elegance makes it just as suited to a weekend escape as a smart-casual office day.

Hamilton has revived the bold geometry of its 1926 cushion-shaped watch, and the Art Deco character comes through in every detail. The warm yellow PVD-coated steel case sits above a beige dial with stylised square numerals and small seconds at six o’clock, paired with a rich brown leather strap. The new hand-wound H-42 calibre is slim enough for elegant proportions, with a Nivachron balance spring and 57-hour power reserve.

Inspired by the irresistible pairing of sweet and salty cinema popcorn, Creation #9 is the oldest in Tomatin’s Creations series so far. Much of the spirit spent more than 17 years in rare American Virgin Oak, developing notes of vanilla, honey, and caramel, before a portion was shaped by Manzanilla sherry casks for salted caramel, toasted almonds, and a hint of coastal freshness. Stylishly bottled at 46 per cent and limited to 3,800 bottles worldwide, it’s a sweet-toothed collectors’ piece.

The summery scents are moving to the back of the collection, paving the way for warming fragrances, and this splash from Jo Malone London is our favourite so far. A limited-edition festive cologne inspired by the Scottish Highlands, it opens with a lively Scotch whisky accord before creamy vanilla and roasted tonka bean take over, offering a mature, amber-based cologne, ideal for the cosy events to come.

White trainers are a wardrobe staple, but it sometimes pays to mix things up. Autry’s Medalist Low provides that variety, swapping pristine leather for a combination of denim and vapor suede that brings welcome texture and a more relaxed feel to the classic court silhouette. With its vintage-inspired profile and understated palette, this is a sneaker that feels suave yet discreet, pairing just as well with denim as it does with tailored autumn separates.

In a world of ever-changing trends, Longue Durée is taking a more considered approach to menswear. The Toronto-designed brand builds its collection around a single jacket each season, allowing every detail, from fabric and silhouette to construction and finishing, to be carefully refined. Rooted in the belief that exceptional clothing should endure, its debut offering champions thoughtful craftsmanship using Virgin Wool from Pollone, Italy and Bemberg from Nobeoka City, Japan to create a timeless piece designed to be worn and cherished for years.

When two masters of precision meet, the results are bound to be memorable. Breitling’s Super Chronomat B19 44 Perpetual Calendar Chronograph, created exclusively for Aston Martin Valhalla owners, combines a 44mm titanium case with a striking carbon-fibre dial and signature Rouleaux bracelet. Inside, its automatic perpetual calendar chronograph tracks everything from moon phases to leap years, requiring no major adjustment until 2100.

A good pair of trousers should work as hard as the rest of your wardrobe, and Slowear’s Incotex Trousers do just that. Cut in a streamlined slim fit from soft, stretch cotton, these dark-blue trousers strike the sweet spot between smart and casual. Subtle contrasting details add a touch of character, while their versatile shape makes them an easy partner for everything from crisp Oxford shirts to weekend knitwear.

Tissot has been the NBA’s Official Timekeeper since 2015, and this 42mm quartz chronograph celebrates that relationship proudly. The bezel’s markers symbolise the 24 seconds allowed for an attacking play, while a miniature NBA logo in blue, white, and red sits on the central chronograph hand against a grey dial. Super-LumiNova hands, a sapphire crystal, and 100m water resistance sit alongside a grey rubber strap that can be swapped tool-free.

Efficient packing is one of life’s simple joys, and proper packing cubes are nothing short of a game-changer. Émigré’s large garment organiser is the gold standard, bringing a little order to the chaos of a suitcase while keeping clothes neatly arranged and making the most of every inch of luggage real estate. Finished in a versatile olive green, it’s an indispensable addition to any frequent traveller’s kit.

John Lewis has teamed up with Savile Row’s clothsurgeon on a 32-piece menswear collection, and this Tailored Blouson is our standout pick. Cut from Abraham Moon’s wool in a Glen Club check, this contemporary second layer blends founder Rav Matharu’s streetwear-meets-tailoring approach with John Lewis’s heritage expertise, with trademark clothsurgeon touches (custom buttons, tapes and linings) elevating it far beyond a standard bomber.

Islay whisky is renowned for its smoky intensity, but this 20-year-old single malt from The Islay, a collaboration between whisky retailer and bottler, Master of Malt and female-founded and female-led design studio, Studio Minerva, offers plenty of nuance alongside its peat. Inspired by the island’s red sandstone, it layers ashen smoke with creamy vanilla wafers and tropical fruit before finishing on delicate notes of oak and vanilla.

Few men have done more for modern style than James Bond, and N.Peal pay tribute to the effortless wardrobe of Britain’s most elegant spy by recreating the black cashmere cardigan worn by Daniel Craig in his 007 debut, Casino Royale. Crafted from the brand’s signature luxurious cashmere, it’s a masterclass in understated seasonal dressing, offering timeless and versatile charm, and equipped to stave off the autumnal chills.

A good skincare routine needn’t involve a cabinet full of products. FOREO’s LUNA 5 LED brings a little high-tech innovation to an everyday ritual, combining deep facial cleansing with targeted LED light therapy. Its ultra-soft silicone touchpoints and T-Sonic pulsations help remove impurities, while the integrated LED technology works to promote smoother, more radiant-looking skin.

The underwear drawer really does need a refresh every six months, and CHÉ is the brand to do it with this autumn/winter. Crafted from 95 per cent TENCEL Modal, these trunks are up to twice as soft as cotton and naturally breathable, managing moisture to keep you cool and fresh. A signature striped waistband adds character, and each three-pack arrives in a sustainable gift-ready box (for those who can’t take a hint).

Culinary prowess is often found in the little details, and the right ingredients make all the difference. Created by chef Gordon Ramsay, Krude’s chilli infused olive oil combines Spanish Arbequina olives with Moroccan red chilli, cold-extracted together in Provence for a beautifully balanced kick. With fresh chilli notes and a gentle heat that builds with finesse, it’s the ideal finishing touch for cool-night cooking.
