The MR PORTER staff pick their favourite pieces from the Mr P. SS18 collection .

If you hadn’t already noticed through our ruthless self-promotion on every social channel imaginable, the Mr P. SS18 collection has finally landed. This season, we took inspiration from the nautical style of men such as Mr Jacques Cousteau and President John F Kennedy. The result is a versatile (yes, yes, bragging is most unbecoming, we know) 34-piece collection that encompasses relaxed sportswear, warm-weather tailoring, lightweight knitwear and, for the first time, shorts, all designed to fit in with your existing gear.

We can gush about it so readily because, in simple terms, these clothes represent what we like most about men’s fashion. These are stylish, yet understated, simple pieces. Affordable, but made to the highest standards. But, they won’t be around for ever. Like most Mr P. collections, this one is of the limited-edition variety, meaning you’ll have to be click off the mark to cop your own (see what we did there?).

If you’re in need of some inspiration, scroll down to see what our very own staff members will be snapping up for the season ahead.

Chief Sub-Editor

Maybe I’m in too deep with Wild Wild Country. Possibly it’s a nod to the Day-Glo cycling gear I pull on for my daily commute. But right now, I’m really feeling orange. This vibrant cotton-twill worker’s jacket comes with pockets (handy) and feels like the kind of garment that will look better with age. It’s ideal for the meteorological whims of a British spring and will add a citrusy zing to any outfit.

Designer

I’m addicted to camp-collar shirts. There, I’ve said it. I have my eye on this new Mr P. one, which, in my opinion, is cut perfectly. The collar is just right. It doesn’t show off too much skin, but it doesn’t make me look like a nun, either. If the shape weren’t enough, denim and stripes also happen to be wardrobe lusts of mine, so the indigo blend of cotton, linen and silk with white stripes ticks all my boxes.

Deputy Editor

Of all the many bomber jackets I have scrolled through this year as part of my duties – and pleasures – on MR PORTER, this is by far the best. The colour, so vivid, so bright, allows you to stand out without descending into vulgarity. It is eye-catching without being attention-seeking. And with its waffle knit, it is a joy to wear. Put it with a white T-shirt and shorts and you will look like God on his summer holiday.

Creative Director

This stone-coloured blouson jacket is probably my favourite piece from the latest Mr. P collection. The cut and colour are inspired by classic workwear, with some nice details, such as the drawstring waist and adjustable cuffs. The mid-weight material is perfect for London in spring.

Editorial Assistant

I’m not usually one for bold colour or statement pieces, but as we step into spring, it feels natural to add some brighter hues to my usually muted wardrobe. This red and white contrast detail polo shirt has a super soft finish. I shall be pairing it with chinos for now and with shorts in the summer.
