Your go-to designer for expertly crafted basics.

“The louder you shout, the weaker your words”. So goes the well-worn cliché. And while we’re all for a shouty statement sweater or a psychedelic Aloha shirt once in a while, we can’t deny the pleasure of wearing something with a little subtlety too. That brings us to Bellerose, the Belgian brand founded in 1989 – and launching on MR PORTER today – that has been making quietly-stylish basics for almost two decades. The brand puts its focus on quality fabrics and comfort, and craftsmanship is at the heart of its design. You can see it in the Sawaka T-shirt in blue, black and white stripes – it’s cut from cotton-jersey and comes in a loose fit that will suit any body type, and the sweaters are spun from soft and lightweight basolan and alpaca wool – perfect for a chilly summer evening, or for something to take you well into the cooler months. This is the kind of thing that wears well, because it’s properly-manufactured, refined stuff that looks good with, well, anything really. You might call these clothes “style staples” or “timeless basics” if you were trying too hard, but that’s exactly the point – you don’t have to.
