It’s Here: Eight Stylish Picks From The MR PORTER Sale

Words by Jack Stanley

13 December 2022

Selfless as you are, the thought of gift-giving is, of course, at the very forefront of your mind right now. But, with the launch of the MR PORTER Sale this week, surely you’re also entitled to a little something as well? Whether it’s shearling-lined sandals, luxurious knitwear or sunglasses in anticipation of warm weather returning, we’ve rounded up some of the very best pieces currently on offer, to help you get going. After all – to slightly tweak a well-loved phrase – gift-giving begins at home. Check out our selections below.

The utilitarian Monitaly Type B cotton-sateen jacket

When Throwing Fits’ Mr Lawrence Schlossman and Mr James Harris recruited their favourite brands for their exclusive MR PORTER collection, one of the highlights was their collaboration with LA-based Monitaly. This Type B jacket follows a classic formula, with a utilitarian aesthetic and corduroy trim, while the drawstring at the waist and midnight blue colourway adds a clever twist.

The cosy Mr P. checked wool scarf

Your scarf is the perfect opportunity to add a pop of colour to your outfit, and this design from Mr P. is a great place to start. The two-tone checkerboard pattern means that the scarf maintains a smart look, while the orange colours mean that you won’t be missed. As if that wasn’t enough, the scarf’s wool-blend and light comb guarantees that you’ll stay warm year-round.

The robust Common Projects hiking-style leather boots

You’re probably most familiar with Common Projects for its understated sneakers, but the brand also applies that minimalist aesthetic to classic boots. All of the traditional technical elements are there – think metal eyelets and a chunky sole unit with extra grip – alongside Common Projects’ focus on design and construction. They’re even finished with the signature gold lettering on the heel.

The instant-classic Oliver Peoples titanium sunglasses

Now’s the time to start thinking about next summer, getting your wardrobe ready for the warmer days ahead. Sunglasses are the obvious place to start, and Oliver Peoples has you covered. The label’s round frame glasses take their shape from vintage watches, while other detailing like the filigree engraving helps to reinforce the classic feel.

The Elder Statesman jolly stripes cashmere cardigan

There aren’t many brands that do colour like The Elder Statesman does. The Californian label is well known for its bright tones and striped patterns, and this shawl-collar cardigan is no different, with a mix of greens, oranges and pinks across the whole garment. The Elder Statesman also prides itself on only using the finest cashmere, so you know you’re going to get a cardigan of the highest quality.

The functional DRKSHDW drawstring trousers

You might think that sweatpants are just for lounging around the house, but Rick Owens’ DRKSHDW label is helping to innovate the comfortable staple. The Creatch trousers mix elements taken from sweatpants with the functionality of cargo pants, making them versatile, comfortable and practical. What more could you ask for from a pair of trousers?

The shearling-lined Birkenstock suede sandals

December might not seem like sandal season, but the addition of shearling to Birkenstock’s much-loved Arizona makes the silhouette a winter warmer. As well as the cosy lining, the sandals are made using luxurious suede and Birkenstock’s signature shock absorbent cork sole, meaning that comfort is pretty much guaranteed whenever you’re wearing them.

The “mood” Alec Doherty gold multi-stone ring

Alec Doherty’s jewellery is the perfect combination of luxury and humour. With this ring, the designer uses nine-karat gold and four stones – a sapphire, a zircon and two tourmaline gemstones – to create either a happy or sad face depending on which way you’re looking at it. Jewellery doesn’t always have to be serious or sentimental, so have a bit of fun with it.
