Dunhill Aran Cashmere Cable Knit Jumper
The cable knit jumper is undoubtedly one of the most timeless staples in the gentleman’s – and indeed lady’s – wardrobe. Dunhill has achieved the perfect balance between chunky and oversized, making the Aran cashmere jumper the perfect choice this autumn. Throw on under a trench and over turn-up selvedge denim jeans, or with a neck scarf nonchalantly for a look with some old-school artistic charm. Its beautifully soft 100% cashmere composition will ward-off the season’s chill, and its unparalleled softness means that you can layer over a t-shirt without your bare arms beneath suffering the irritant of itchy fibres. It is also the sort of jumper your girlfriend will undoubtedly want to borrow (read: steal - take it from me), and unfortunately for you, she’ll look damn sexy doing it.
£690.00, www.dunhill.com.

Loro Piana Portland Jogging Bottoms
Is there anything more indulgent than a pair of exclusive sweatpants in the finest light-weight cashmere and silk? I am hesitant to use the phrase ‘jogging bottom’ to describe these sublime leg-hugging, skin-caressing trousers, because jogging will simply be the last thing you want to do in them; these are made for breakfast in bed and Sunday lie ins, or for throwing on after a workout for maximum feel-good factor. Equally perfect for gentlemen travellers for whom comfort is a principal concern, or for those who simply appreciate world-class materials, Loro Piana’s silk and cashmere blend Portland design combines luxury and leisure like no other. A double rib-knit waitstband and drawstring make for the most relaxing sartorial experience, and Loro Piana even offer a bomber in the same heavenly blend so you can be top to toe in the most refined ‘sportswear’ known to man.
£950.00, www.loropiana.com.

Begg & Co. Nuance Colour-Graded Cashmere Scarf
Begg & Co.’s extraordinary finesse for hand dyeing, spinning and weaving the finest cashmere on the planet is epitomised by this ultra-lightweight scarf. Purveyors of some of the most beautiful accessories, we couldn’t help but notice the subtle colour gradient in warm tones of blue, burgundy and green that blend seamlessly throughout the length of the scarf, resulting in a rather sophisticated palette that provides a gentle touch of artistry to any ensemble. Inspired by the earthy tones of the Scottish countryside, Begg & Co. taps into our unending love affair with heritage luxury and traditional craftsmanship.
£345.00, www.beggandcompany.com.

Common Projects Original Achilles Suede Sneakers
Finding shoes in autumn can be difficult; one must tread the line between predicting the unpredictable (weather), keeping warm and staying smart. Common Projects presents the ultimate solution, with its classic Achilles style sneaker in butter-soft suede. Not only is the suede impossibly louche on the outside, but also the natural give of the material combined with the sneakers’ rubber soles make these comfortable and durable in equal measure. In a deep charcoal shade, the versatility of these sneakers may surprise you; their dark, sophisticated profile lends itself to a smart but contemporary aesthetic.
£265.00, www.mrporter.com.

Gieves & Hawkes Superfine Camelhair Chesterfield
One really can never have too many overcoats (particularly camel coats) and Gieves & Hawkes has taken it to the next level with this 100% superfine camelhair chesterfield coat that is joyously light in both structure, feel and colour. A combination of flap pockets and the coat's double-breasted closure provides generous space to warm one’s hands or keep one’s essentials, and the gently tapered waist creates a strong, masculine silhouette complete with gently roped shoulders, peaked lapels and a single vent in the back. Wear with a soft cream knit to keep the look clean and modern or over a bold silk shirt for maximum impact and individuality.
£1495.00, www.gievesandhawkes.com.
