THE JOURNAL

We have good news and bad news. The good news: the MR PORTER Sale is still in full swing, with even juicier discounts than before. The bad news is, of course, that all good things must come to an end. So, with limited time left to get your hands on a bargain, best act now to snap up that investment timepiece or eye-catching jacket – before someone else does. Not sure what to dive into first? Below are a few of our suggestions.

01.
The investment Mr P. trucker jacket
Allow your perpetual hunt for the perfect transitional jacket to end with this Mr P. trucker – a guaranteed compliment magnet. Not only is it crafted from a supple nubuck, known for ageing exquisitely, it strides out confidently in a shade of army green that’ll will sit comfortably alongside all your neutrals, but render them a tad more jazzy.

02.
The essential Maison Margiela T-shirt multipack
There’s no better time than the MR PORTER Sale to ensure you’re all stocked up on the essentials, and what’s more essential than a plain cotton T-shirt? (Or three for that matter.) These by Maison Margiela keep it pretty classic in silhouette, arrive in varying neutral hues and are crafted from 100 per cent organic cotton for maximum comfort.

03.
The cosy James Perse sweat shorts
Winter is the season of staying in, and doing so in style. Enter these ultra-cosy supima-cotton jersey shorts by James Perse, which will elevate your loungewear game to new heights, but are equally dignified enough to style up and step out the house in when the weather perks up.

04.
The patchwork Desmond & Dempsey pyjama set
While the audience for your pyjamas is likely smaller than for the rest of your wardrobe (your cohabitants and delivery drivers), there’s no reason why you shouldn’t invest in a statement pair purely for your own pleasure. Our pick: this patchwork printed set by British brand Desmond & Dempsey, which is as dreamy to sleep in as it is to behold thanks to its lightweight linen.

05.
The tailored Orlebar Brown swim shorts
The truly savvy shopper knows that there’s no better time to start your summer shopping than during the winter sales – and no greater mood booster, either. Get ahead of the game with these tailored swim shorts by Orlebar Brown, whose perky hue (and flattering fit) is sure to turn heads at the pool.

06.
The classic Incotex cargo trousers
The once-maligned cargo trouser has made a bit of a comeback over the past few season, and in our view makes for a welcome alternative to your average blue jeans. We’re fans of this military-green pocket-laden pair by Incotex, which are the sort of easy-going everyday piece you’ll wonder how you went so long without.

07.
The limited-edition Bremont watch
It’s not often that a brilliant timepiece by a first-class watchmaker is discounted, so consider this is a sign to make the investment you’ve been mulling over for so long. Among the handful of treasure is this limited-edition 43mm chronograph, which boasts all the high-tech features and attention to detail that make Bremont a collector-connoisseur’s favourite.

08.
The Repossi architectural bracelet
Inspired by (and named in tribute to) the cliffs of Normandy, this polished gold Antifer bracelet is the handiwork of heritage Italian brand Repossi (in other words, you can count it as an investment for not just yourself but the next generation). The two peaks lend it a unique, sculptural edge – yet it’s minimal and elegant all the same, ideal for those new to the jewellery game.
