For watch fans, the year revolves around one week at the end of March, when Watches and Wonders comes to Geneva and the biggest brands reveal their new watches. Heavy hitters such as Patek Philippe, Vacheron Constantin, IWC Schaffhausen and Rolex are all in town, along with dozens of others, with hotly anticipated new designs to show off. We have picked out 10 new watches launching today from brands available on MR PORTER – watches we’re excited to see and share with you. There’s a new Ingenieur from IWC, the Radiomir collection is back in the limelight at Panerai, and there’s an absolutely gorgeous Cartier Tank. Be sure to keep an eye on our Instagram all week, as we’ll be highlighting many more of the new releases every day, from big brands and indie artisans alike.

At MR PORTER, we like to think our monthly best-dressed lists showcase the sheer breadth of stylish men out there. Sure, there’s always a fair few actor types – having a stylist on your payroll does up your chances of looking like a million bucks – but we’re also not afraid to cast the net wide. Take this month, for example. We’ve got a bit of Young Hollywood (Mr Justice Smith) and a bit of, er, More Mature Hollywood (Mr Keanu Reeves). We’ve got a best-dressed-list first-timer (pleased to meet you, Mr Vassili Schneider) and we’ve got the return of an old-school MR PORTER favourite (welcome back, Mr Hidetoshi Nakata). Yes, we’ve thrown Mr Evan Mock in there for the 675th consecutive time, but that’s because he’s Evan Mock and always looks great – although we’d hazard you may not recognise him at first, post “vibe shift” (_GQ_’s words, not ours). The point is, if ever you needed proof that great style has no age or occupation, then the aforementioned guys – plus two more snazzy dressers – are as concrete as it gets.

Until recently, the footwear world was divided between those who wouldn’t be seen dead wearing smart shoes and those who wouldn’t be seen dead in sneakers. Now, thanks to the work of a number of brands that offer a fresh take on contemporary luxury, the lines are blurring and you can have the best of both worlds.

From Brunello Cucinelli’s sock-like kicks to Loro Piana’s Week End Walks, here are the luxury sneakers that will stand you in good stead this season

If you got into watches between the years of 2010 and 2016, you know Mr Anish Bhatt. In fact, let’s rephrase that: there is a good chance that if you discovered the world of watches around this time, it was thanks to Anish. Always the first name – in fact, always his _nom de gram_, Watch Anish. He was the original influencer in the world of luxury watches; a label that didn’t exist when he started and today is insufficient to describe his operation. He was one of the first to see what social media could do for the traditional, closed-off world of watches, and has to be given credit for helping an entire industry find its feet online, as well as introducing a young, global audience to watches.

I’ve been stood up, pied, ghosted, lead on, gaslit and completely ignored. My nerves have been frayed. My confidence? Absolutely obliterated. And my dating past is chequered, too. The point is that nothing I have experienced at a dinner table or on an app compares to the emotional rollercoaster of, you know, talking about it or, as here, writing about it. As a rule, men don’t like sharing about their personal romantic lives in a public forum. I can name various women who have produced fantastic books, columns and TV shows on the topic. But men? Not a whisper. We can debate why this is – fear of cancellation, sexism, chivalry? – or we could just give it a go ourselves and see what happens.

Five writers on the worst (and best) experiences while dating – and why men need to share our personal romantic lives in a public forum

On paper, _Succession_ should never have worked. This is not just a show about rich people – it is about that minuscule 0.01 per cent, the kind of social circle where one private jet is considered arriviste. Unlike Mr Michael White, whose series, _The White Lotus,_ luridly pokes fun at these echelons of society, _Succession_’s creator, Mr Jesse Armstrong, wants us to care, to see the trials and tribulations of the Roy family as something universal, Shakespearean even. A tale of fathers, sons, inheritance and birth rights.

Right now, no item of clothing radiates power quite like a quarter-zip sweater. Yes, we know. It’s a sentence we didn’t think we’d ever be writing, either. But, as with the fleece before it, this once-derided item of casualwear has seen a remarkable turnaround, and today finds itself embraced by dukes, prime ministers and top-tier football managers. In fact, such is its current stock in certain social circles that spotting one in the upcoming final series of _Succession_ is a surer bet than one of the Roy scions making off with the family business. So, it’s a shorthand and a status symbol, but how can you deploy one to elevate an outfit? And should you wear it half-mast or unzipped? Below, we take you through three scenarios to find out what’s hip when it comes to zips.
