There are certain things that money can’t buy. More clement weather and long summer days, for instance, or the ability to have your holiday gift shopping sorted at the snap of a finger (although we’re working on it). But what it can buy is those things that’ll help make the glum, colder months ahead that bit more pleasant – winter essentials, hibernation must-haves and, of course, sneakers.

From reworked terrace classics to track-inspired styles, these sneakers from adidas Consortium, New Balance and more have stood the test of time – but now feel as hype-worthy as ever. Read more in The Journal

Held every other year in the heart of the aforementioned emirate, Dubai Watch Week has made a name for itself as the luxury watch world’s cooler, more laid-back event. Not hard, say the cynics, but with an audience of collectors flocking from around the world to attend, a more open-door approach than you’ll ever find in Switzerland, and a climate that’s just a tad more agreeable, DWW is having the last laugh. Crucially, if any event is going to represent the contemporary, switched on side of the industry, it needs to reflect the ever-closer integration of men’s style with horology. With that in mind, MR PORTER sent its keen-eyed photographer to profile five of the best-dressed attendees.

MR PORTER visited Dubai Watch Week, the luxury watch world’s more contemporary, more relaxed gathering, to see if the ongoing integration of men’s style and horology could be witnessed firsthand. Read more in The Journal

The big end-of-year blowout was once the centrepiece of most companies’ social calendars. (Although, at the end of the calendar rather than the centre of it, for obvious reasons.) But times have changed, and so has work – as has the work party, as a result.

The workplace has changed, as has your work’s end-of-year shindig. But have you? Here’s how to behave and what to wear at yours

Hotels are ripe for visual storytelling – a labyrinth of hallways, swimming pools, minimalist or ornately decorated rooms. A stage for our characters as they find solace, fall in love, or come to terms with something in their lives away from home. Every resident is a guest, each bringing their own story – as well as their luggage – with them. And there’s a sense that anything can happen. And where most film sets are dismantled as soon as the director calls wrap, hotels live on long after the fact, allowing fans to immerse themselves in the movie magic.

From the Plaza Hotel in New York to the famed Chateau Marmont in LA, we pick some of the best on-screen hotels you can book right now

If you know someone who considers themselves a sneakerhead, boy are we about to make you the most popular gift giver in the room. This season’s sneakers are weird, wonderful and stylish. Sure, buying shoes for someone other than yourself can be a tricky game. (Do you know their size? Have you been paying close attention to their preferences?) But the payoff is worth the sneaking into their closet to peer into their shoes.

Think on your feet – or theirs – this holiday season with running shoes guaranteed to please from Gucci, Givenchy, AMIRI and more

When it comes to buying luxury watches, it has to be said that the sky’s the limit – it might seem crazy to some, but there is almost no upper boundary to what one can spend on a watch. Pursuing extreme rarity, exotic materials and any level of customisation will lead you to a six or seven-figure price tag at several brands. But, importantly for the majority of us, you can buy a great many of the most well-known, admired and respected watch designs for less than £5,000. Hardly small change, we know, but any one of these would last you for life and serve you well – although we make no apologies if they turn out to be just the first step on your path to full-blown watch addiction.

Eight picks of the best watches priced under £5,000, including models from Cartier, Bell & Ross, Oris, Bremont and Montblanc
