Jean therapy

Every man likes to get a new pair of jeans but just what ones should we ask for? Bookmark these for your wishlist: Nudie’s dry dirt straight leg jeans are the template of denim style, coming in an unwashed finish and a close cut silhouette for perfect fit, they will complement pretty much anything you wear them with. For a premium take on a cleverly aged wash then PRPS is your go-to for the six month raw washed versions which subtly mimic a few months of working wear on dry denim. Get them just a little long so that they take a turn up. Alternatively, for an authentic relaxed fit, then APC’s selvedge pair recalls authentic heritage fits.

Festive footsteps

Get shoes that scale the style summit this Christmas: work boots are ticking every box right now, from heritage to outdoorsy looks, while to the everyman they simply remain the manliest of shoe styles. Red Wing’s got the authenticity. Likewise, the brogue. If you have one pair, you’ll want another. Try these from Tricker’s, the doyen of the brogue in an on trend purple, which works surprisingly well with chinos and denim alike. Or then again, if it’s safety first you want, we’re yet to meet anyone who dislikes the classic Paul Smith Miller brogue. Chocolate coloured please, for ultimate versatility.

Hit the Knits

Bring some real comfort and joy to someone’s life with the addition of a hit knit this Christmas. After all, if ever there was a year to give the seasonal jumper, it’s this one. Thickly dimensioned, patterned and coloured knitwear is having the time of its life, becoming outerwear alternatives and statements of preppy, rocker and heritage invention. Make someone stand out from the crowd in this sequin embellished rock and roll skull alternative from the London based Markus Lupfer; go for the finest cable knits available from D&G, or stick to some preppy finery from Polo Ralph Lauren. Who does the collegiate thing better, after all? We love the Ivy League colourways of this cardigan and that shawl collar makes it perfect to wear on its own or under a coat. Or opt for the supreme statement of casual luxury from Vince – with this wool nylon, white and heather grey crew neck. Its ribbed collar, cuffs and hem help draw it close to the body for a thrown on fit.

Coat Yourself

For a gift with real Christmas presence, a new coat will never go far wrong. The classic trench is beyond trends and remains coveted by anyone with an eye for style, and a Burberry Brit label only helps underline its value. The same equation works with the Polo Ralph Lauren pea coat – it’s a brand you can trust creating a timeless coat style that every man should own. But if you are prepared to go just a little bit offbeat then what better present than a jacket that combines the must have tweed with leather biker sleeves? Go for this hybrid biker for a style that will fill the hole under even the grandest of Christmas trees.
