Editor's Picks: Krug champagne, Brioni sneakers, Paul Smith mac and Patricks grooming

A colourful mixture of textures and materials, these Beige Crossing Sneakers from Italian fashion house, Brioni, are a characterful style for pre-spring urban galivanting. An elevated take on a 1980s basketball shoe, this leather and technical fabric iteration are a step removed from the brand's typical fine tailoring range yet still offer a noticeable level-up from traditional sporting-casual kicks.

Though we commend the optimism of those yet to own a sensible rain jacket, it has rained every day of 2026 in the United Kingdom, so it certainly wouldn't hurt to be prepared. As in most cases, this type of sartorial dilemma leads us to Paul Smith, and it's Double-Face Cotton-Nylon Mac solves our problem exquisitely. Upscale details such as the button throat tab and concealed placket cut a practical and sleek silhouette, while the navy finish and contrasting Rupert Bear-esque lining deliver classic and contemporary flair.

One of three exceptional champagnes that recently served as inspiration for composer Max Richter and Krug's 'Every Note Counts' collaboration, the Grande Cuvée 164 Edition is a rich blend of 127 wines from 11 different years. A composition of Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Meunier, this edition consists of wines from 1990 through to 2008 representing 'the full symphony of champagne.'

Crafted in the brand's Long Eaton factory, the Long Sleeve Classic T-shirt from Sunspel is the product of over a century of T-shirt making and an undeniable wardrobe staple. Designed to be worn close to the skin (within reason), Sunspel has utilised California-sourced extra-long staple Supima cotton to ensure a soft, breathable and durable texture and created a finished piece that can be worn proudly on its own, or part of a layered fit.

A voice of Indian single malt that is getting progressively louder, Indri is blending craftsmanship with innovation in a way that has garnered over 90 international accolades. Making it India's most awarded single malt whisky. Matured near the foothills of the Himalayas in a combination of ex-bourbon, ex-wine and Pedro Ximenez sherry casks, the brand's aptly named Trini Three Wood expression delivers black tea, caramelised pineapple and sweet cherry on the nose, before giving way to oak, vanilla, blackberries, hazelnuts and orange zest on the palate.

Functional and stylish sports bags are surprisingly hard to come by. Sure, you can double up with a leather overnighter, and an unstructured banker bag will do a decent job, but when it comes to refined and practical, there are few brands that do it well. Thankfully, Troicases is such a brand, and its Suede Racquet Bag looks as dashing in the office as it does courtside. Its innovative three-compartment system suavely separates work wares, sports kit and a padel racquet, and the padded straps (and shoulder strap) allow it to be swung confidently alongside professional and athletic ensembles.

Formulated with hyaluronic acid, shea butter and glycerine, the Black Cedarwood & Juniper Shaving Cream from Jo Malone is an ultra-rich extension to the grooming routine that has been designed for conditioning care. The masculine, woody scent is juxtaposed by its smooth on-face feel, allowing the razor to glide comfortably, delivering a close wet shave and a healthy, replenished glow.

In the world of sprezzatura, the soft suit is still king. While the square-shouldered Armani designs of the 80s and early 90s may be having a resurgence, sartorialists valuing comfort will continue to gravitate to more relaxed, soft tailoring styles. Our current pick is this striking custom-made piece from Blugiallo; produced in the wearer's made-to-measure size and a cut in a fantastically deep and lightly textured Ocean Blue wool, silk and linen blend, its lightweight and breathable construction is ideal for all-day and all-year wear.

Founded in 1896, and at that time known simply as 'The Grouse,' The Famous Grouse has been the best-selling whisky brand in Scotland since 1980. A stalwart of the whisky scene and synonymous with Scottish Rugby, the brand recently shared research that over half of Brits spend less than 80 minutes a week with their closest friends, prompting its Guinness Six Nations 'Get Together' content series, encouraging sports and whisky fans to kick excuses into touch, and nail down plans with their nearest and dearest.

While the social media looksmaxxers would describe anyone without an etched-in, action figure hairline as 'cooked,' theirs is an opinion that we can confidently ignore. That said, for those whose locks aren't perhaps as luscious as they once were, and are taking a more considered approach to haircare, we're happy to introduce Patricks' 3-Step Hair Loss Treatment. A triple-threat in barnet maintenance, this set contains DHT-blocking shampoo, conditioner and spray to prevent hair loss and treat thinning hair as well as fortify and thicken strands to promote new growth.

A comfortable medium that combines the durability of denim with the formality of precision tailoring, the 5-Pocket Trousers from MOSS are a fine addition to the business-casual wardrobe. Constructed from soft, breathable, 100 per cent wool flannel, this jean-inspired design pulls on MOSS' 170-year tailoring heritage to create a stylish yet hardy springtime trouser.
