20 Elevated Essentials That Will See You Through Autumn



Vest, gilet, tank, whatever you want to call it: this sleeveless item of clothing, whose first ever iteration, the “jerkin”, originated in the 16th century, comes in many guises. It serves equally well as a base layer under a coat as it does a top layer over a T-shirt; it can be knitted, made from fuzzy fleece or lightweight technical materials; it can feature a variety of practical details – such as pockets or even a hood – or it can be pared back to its bare essentials.

Tokyo is a city of extremes. The beating heart of Japan – at least since it took over from Kyoto as the country’s capital in 1868 – it is the largest metropolis in the world, a forest of glassy skyscrapers, inner-city temples and hidden ramen shops, not to mention some of the best menswear on the planet. A short walk around Shibuya will leave even the most style-conscious man from elsewhere feeling entirely underdressed. Why else do you think MR PORTER stocks so many Japanese brands?

Style, food, appreciation for details – Japan offers a disorientating mix of ancient customs and cutting-edge technology, with some of the oldest living people on the planet. And Tokyo is its hub. So, what can we learn about living in the biggest city on Earth? A lot, it turns out

One of the unexpected side effects of the Sag-Aftra strikes? A total dearth of red-carpet looks from which to glean fashion inspiration. However, this sudden style vacuum has also served as a reminder that it’s not just the A-list and their stylists who can show out in stellar outfits. Take for example the Toronto International Film Festival, which was admittedly low on film stars compared to previous years but nonetheless packed out with brilliant outfits from men whose names we don’t know – but really wish we did. Below, we’ve highlighted seven folks in particular whose considered style piqued our attention.

Our picks of the best-dressed men we spotted at the 2023 Toronto International Film Festival

The average person spends a third of their life in bed. Lucky them. Of course, not all of that is sleeping. There’s also, y’know, that (*blushes*). And, more likely, ignoring the growing stack of bedside books in favour of staring at your phone. But the bed is a great unifier – not that we’re all in the same bed, you understand. The point being, if you’re about to spend some 26 years doing something, you’ll probably want to dress for it. Which, once you tot it up, makes pyjamas some of the best value pieces of clothing that you can own, cost per wear.

From pyjamas and robes in the finest silks, satins and cashmeres to the guy who can’t fall asleep unless he’s naked, how the clothes we wear in bed affect our sleep patterns – and our lives

Pyjama Tribes: What Does What You Wear To Bed Say About You?



As I climb into the aluminium and stainless steel tube, I thank my lucky stars that I am not claustrophobic. It is about the same diameter as a water slide, so not oppressively narrow, but my toes almost touch one end while my head is only a few inches from the other. Bright white and lit from the inside with a blue glow, it makes me feel as if I am going to be cryogenically frozen for a long space flight or, less glamorously, as if I am in a tanning salon. As the spa attendant slides the heavy polycarbonate lid shut and bolts it tight, I lie back and close my eyes. Even with headphones on I can hear the unmistakeable hissing sound of gas being released from a pipe above my head and soon the pressure inside my tin can has built to the point where my ears pop.

Breathwork is nothing new, but should locking yourself in a hyperbaric chamber be part of your wellness routine, too? MR PORTER investigates

Fashion gluttons that we are at MR PORTER, we’d be lying if we said we struggled to justify the sort of clothing expenditures that would make regular folk wince. However, if we were forced (against our will) to narrow it down to the categories that are truly worth a three-to-four-figure splurge, then there’s no doubt that coats, shoes and bags would form our holy trinity. Here, we’re homing in on that last department – and it’s safe to say that this season brings with it an absolute embarrassment of riches from the likes of Bottega Veneta, LOEWE and all our other favourite accessory-makers? Below, our whittled-down edit of messengers, totes, bucket bags, et al that promise maximum cost-per-wear.

Sweats has to be the least appealing name for one of the most appealing genres of clothing. But let’s put etymology – and, gag, thoughts of bodily fluids – aside and focus instead on soft loopback or fleece-back cottons. Or, if we’re pushing the boat out – and we really should – cashmere. See, we’re in a more comfortable place already. And there’s the draw of drawstrings, of sweatshirts and sweatpants, and their adjacent hoodies and shorts, fashioned from comfy jersey. In this harsh world, comfort is king.

What we unfairly think of as loungewear can easily be elevated – if you use your head. It starts with upgraded sweatshirts, sweatpants and hoodies, but it takes teamwork to make an outfit
