The more generous cut of this TOM FORD trench gives it a 1960s air: it’s the kind of thing you could imagine the Man from Interpol wearing while leaning against a lamppost with a fedora and a pack of Gauloises. But please, don’t style it like that. A V-neck sweater and a pair of blue jeans will do perfectly, though it’s looser shape means it will also layer nicely over a suit.

OK, in a product shot it doesn’t look like much. But this is the kind of piece you’ll never go back from once you’ve tried it: a perfectly cut shirt, in just the right thickness of cotton (sturdy enough to give it some heft, but not so heavy as to make you overheat), and finished with mother-of-pearl buttons. You’ll just feel more like a grown-up when you have it on.

If you haven’t yet tried a sweater vest, banish all images of Chandler Bing from your mind. This is to be worn over a T-shirt or simple shirt, on those days when the weather simply won’t make up its mind. A finer gauge style, like the one here from Gabriela Hearst, will prevent unsightly gathering.

There’s a certain contingent of men who are still wearing only slim-cut jeans, believing it makes them look slender. Those men are missing out. A nicely proportioned wider cut, like this pair by Gucci, will balance out your top half, but will roll up neatly over a pair of loafers, or white sneakers.

In the age of flexible working, most of us have gotten used to lugging our working life around with us. But a more structured, compartmentalised bag can lend polish to your everyday style, and prevent the indignity of scrabbling around for a pen. We’re partial to this leather tote from Métier, which comes in a burnished finish that’ll only look better with a few commute-induced scuffs.

Forget the studs. Forget the exotic animal skins. Forget the elaborate buckles so hefty they practically weigh your trousers down (which would really defeat the point of a belt, wouldn’t it?) This Maison Margiela belt is engineered to do what a belt’s meant to do in the most elegant, minimalist and exquisitely crafted fashion. Nothing less, and nothing more.

He might not have made CEO, but at least Kendall Roy can say he left a lasting legacy in the world of headwear, igniting in us a previously untapped desire to own luxurious Italian baseball caps in every hue. Start your collection with this one by Berluti that’s been subtly embroidered with the brand’s elegant script and spun from a sumptuous wool twill.

We might as well say it: this silk-blend Lewis coat, like just about everything from The Row, is eye-wateringly expensive. As in, you might want to forewarn your credit card provider before you check this one out. But that’s the point. It’s the most beautifully cut, most luxurious coat you will ever own, and it will show. The guys who get it get it.
