THE JOURNAL
Recently opened your wardrobe and lamented that you’ve got absolutely nothing to wear? Confounded by the fact that no matter what you do, this same problem seems to happen every few months? Of course you have – you’re only human after all. It’s why summer sales were invented, and why you’ve found yourself perusing this very page on MR PORTER right now. You’re in the right place, because there are some bargains to be had, and our Editors have picked out the five items below to get you started. So, fill your boots (and your shopping basket) and maybe next time you open your wardrobe in a state of despair, you’ll realise it isn’t so bad after all.
01.
The flannel overshirt
We’ll let you in on a sartorial secret: chore jackets, overshirts, whatever you want to call them, are one of the most useful and versatile items a man can have in his wardrobe. You can wear them most of the year round, they’re comfortable and hit the mark perfectly between smart and casual. This one from our private label Mr P. is case in point – snap it up while you can.
02.
The double-breasted jacket
No wonder this double-breasted suit jacket looks fit for a style-conscious secret agent – it’s from our Kingsman collection and is decked out in a particularly fetching Prince of Wales check. Jackets of this calibre don’t come cheap, but hey, the summer Sale clearly has us feeling generous.
03.
The tie-dye sweater
Cashmere is to The Elder Statesman what sushi is to Nobu: it’s just what they do best. This sweater is a trippy example of how creative director Ms Bailey Hunter works with colour to create knitwear that’s as memorable as it is soft.
04.
The leather messenger bag
A quick Maison Margiela crib sheet: each number on the brand’s iconic logo refers to a particular product line, and, as you might deduce from this messenger bag, the circled 11 stands for accessories. Compact yet stylish, the bag has been crafted in Italy from calf leather and will add some personality to your outfit.

The silver beaded bracelet
