Editor’s Picks: Sunspel jacket, TOD’s sneakers, Jo Malone body spray and Barbour waistcoat

The classic Harrington style, but elevated. Not known for doing things by half-measures, Sunspel has applied its trademark flair and high-end finishing to create this discreet, yet somehow standout, piece. Crafted from smooth lamb suede, Sunspel’s take on what was originally designed as a golf jacket (pre–Rebel Without a Cause and The Thomas Crown Affair popularity) is a refined second layer for the milder winter days.

While it’s easiest to point one in the direction of boots during the chillier months, there isn’t always a pair for everyone, and those preferring their footwear on the sportier side of the spectrum may be left wanting. Fortunately, TOD’s has politely accommodated the refined sneaker-head, and its Pashmy Suede model is a comfortable cure for cooler extremities. Made in Italy and shearling lined, these goatskin kicks are a cosy addition to the January shoe rack.

Quite possibly one of the simplest methods of adding a little luxury to the daily routine; a fine body spray. Different to a Sure, Dove or (God forbid) Lynx, this fresh and woody spray isn’t designed to deodorise, but rather efficiently scent the body for those looking to stay ruggedly fragranced on the go. Much like its Cologne Intense counterpart, this vessel houses elegantly fresh top notes, a warm, aromatic heart, and pleasant amber base for a subtle, lasting scent.

Aimed at those within the Venn diagram intersection of horology and abstract expressionism, SWATCH’s recent collaboration with the Guggenheim Collection combines the brand’s stellar watchmaking heritage with the world of fine art. Part of a four-watch collection (with additional pieces celebrating Edgar Degas, Paul Klee and Claude Monet), this Alchemy iteration sees Jackson Pollock’s acclaimed 1947 work printed across the strap and dial of this 41mm piece. Silver-coloured hour and minute hands and a striking orange second hand boldly stand out against the colour-splashed background, adding kaleidoscopic character to the daily wrist check.

Described by the brand as “nostalgia with a cherry on top,” the first 0 per cent cocktail from the renowned mixologists at Black Lines is the celebration of a virgin icon. An effervescent mix of grenadine, ginger ale, raspberry soda, fresh lemon, blood orange and bitters, this guilt-free tipple is primed to guide abstainers down the Dry January home straight, whilst craftily preparing palates for its 7 per cent Dirty Shirley variation once February hits.

On the days when the merino isn’t quite cutting it, and a garment with a little more heft is required, we can always turn to Luca Faloni. Renowned for its exceptional knitwear, it’s the 4-Ply Cashmere Crew that is spending the most time out of our wardrobes this season. Made in Northern Italy and constructed of 100 per cent cashmere, this camel chunky knit is a lesson in versatility and warmth, and a staple in cool-weather ensembles.

Named for the rocky island off the coast of County Kerry, Ireland (recognisable as Luke Skywalker’s isolated refuge in The Force Awakens and The Last Jedi), the Skellig Michael Signal Coat from U.S. brand, Arc & Iveagh, is a classic take on the heritage duffle coat. Cut from Myiikgo cloth, the brand sought to return this style to its sartorial roots, with exceptional detail in its horn toggles and flannel-lined hood, and a timeless fit and drape.

Technically a ‘beauty case,’ but known amongst friends as a ‘washbag,’ this piece from Brioni is the definition of an elevated essential. The muted black finish, though initially unassuming, is scratch-resistant grained leather, designed to keep its shape and elegant texture even with all the knocks, scrapes and squashes that come as part and parcel with frequent travel.

An understated Barbour classic suavely reimagined for 2026. When thinking of Barbour icons, it’s the Beaufort, Bedale and Ashby that will most likely spring to mind. However, the brand loyalists will recall a brief window of time where the quilted gilet was a quiet, unsung hero. Back by popular demand, the Modern Quilted Waistcoat (in navy and olive) features all the trappings of its predecessor, as well as redesigned buttons and a neat corduroy trim. Ideal for gentle layering and covert comfort.

Perfect for Q1 layering, then sitting comfortably on its own for the warmer months, the 220gsm Midweight T-Shirt from CDLP is a no-looking-back step up to your t-shirt game. Constructed of a unique Tencel lyocell and pima cotton blend, this breathable, textured piece offers silk-like softness for enhanced wearability and has been designed to slowly fade and age gracefully with multiple wears.

Created to commemorate the brand’s 500th anniversary, and limited to just 500 pieces, the Garmin MARQ Commander, Beretta Edition is a gamekeeper on the wrist. A merging of modern technology and tactical design, this carbon fibre piece showcases classic Beretta brand detailing (on the engraved buttons and case) alongside advanced technical features in the form of stealth mode, waypoint projection, ballistics calculator, health tracking, countryside GPS and aviation tools.

Unrivalled trousers for those looking for a bottom-half wardrobe refresh this year, the Ultimate Non-Iron Chinos from Charles Tyrwhitt are a midweight breathable addition to the legwear rotation. Constructed from cotton and elastane (and with stain-resistant properties), these traditional fit chinos ensure all-day wrinkle-free comfort, perfect for the commute, the office, drinks and beyond.

The Vacheron Constantin FiftySix Self-Winding 4600E/000R-H101 is a modern classic that sits as comfortably at a black-tie dinner as it does in more casual settings. Its 40mm 18K 5N pink gold case exquisitely frames a double-finished black sector dial with opaline centre and sunburst exterior, anchored by gilt numerals and blue-tinted lume. A retro box-style sapphire crystal nods to the 1950s, while the anthracite nubuck leather strap provides a casual polish. Through the sapphire case back, the Calibre 1326 automatic movement with 48-hour power reserve and Côtes de Genève finishing can be admired – making this piece a refined choice for the discerning.
