A Cool Guy's New-Season Wish List
1. Bottega Veneta Sunday Slippers
I am drawn to pieces that make relaxed outfits feel intentional and elegant. I love the versatility of these slippers – they feel as appropriate worn at home as they do styled for midsummer trips. The butter-soft leather makes them a must-have in my 2026 summer wardrobe.
2. Suitsupply Ribbed Long-Sleeve Polo
As someone who prioritises physique and proportion in how I dress, I often look for lower collars in knitwear. The ribbed texture adds depth, allowing the piece to feel both nostalgic and modern at once. I have been gravitating towards deep browns and plan to showcase more monochrome looks as we move into the warmer months, making these Suitsupply polos a staple.
3. Tom Ford Noir Extreme Eau De Parfum
I have always loved fragrances with warmth, depth and a touch of sex appeal. Noir Extreme has a rich, slightly decadent quality that lingers subtly rather than overwhelming when entering a room. It is a scent I have wanted to add to my collection for some time.
4. COS Relaxed-Fit Bootcut Jeans
COS continues to produce high-quality pieces at an accessible price point. This indigo-wash denim has the perfect shape. The balance of structure and range of movement feels rare. Classic proportions allow it to pair seamlessly with loafers, mules or boots, elevating an outfit without a thought.
5. Saint Laurent Oval-Buckle Thin Belt
5. For me, it’s often the small details that make a look – a tucked sweater, a popped collar or a statement belt that doesn't overwhelm the outfit. As slim belts continue to gain momentum and move fluidly between womenswear and menswear, it feels like the right time to invest in a refined gold or silver oval buckle that adds just enough finesse. This piece from Saint Laurent offers the right level of craftsmanship.
6. Weleda Skin Food
Outfits do not end with clothing – taking care of your skin is just as important as caring for your favourite pieces! I tend to stick with classics that simply work. Skin Food is uncomplicated and effective. It is a product that will always be on my wish list, as it is something I use daily and run out of monthly.
7. Suitsupply Buttonless Polo
Simplifying my wardrobe has always been the overarching goal. This buttonless polo embodies exactly what I look for: a slightly lower neckline for subtle definition, a smooth texture that enhances the silhouette, and a finish that feels both modern and refined. It is a foundational piece I reach for year round.
8. Amiri Ma Flare
I have recently been drawn to the flared silhouette in both trousers and denim, adding four or five pairs to my rotation over the past six months. As someone who often wears heeled boots, a flare continues the line of the leg and enhances the overall elongation, while adding a rockstar edge. This pair from Amiri has the perfect silhouette for the summer months and feels like a natural addition to my seasonal wardrobe.
9. Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Selfwinding
I have a handful of smaller-faced vintage watches that hold their own in my rotation. As I grow older and lean further into elevated casualwear while balancing padel, running and lifting, this watch feels better aligned with my lifestyle. It represents the perfect balance between sport and refined luxury. As a gift to myself for reaching 100,000 followers, this is a very strong contender.
10. Studio Nicholson Plaited Belt
Texture plays a significant role in how I put outfits together. If a look does not rely on strong shape or bold colour, it needs texture to create interest. Returning to those small details that elevate an outfit, this belt allows for subtle styling moments. Whether I’m tucking in a sweater or revealing it as a detail beneath a slightly cropped shirt, it introduces dimension while keeping the overall look refined and classic. It is no surprise that brands like Polo Ralph Lauren incorporate similar belts into their styling time and time again.
11. Saint Laurent Tsubota Pearl Vintage Lighter
This is less of an accessory and more of a considered design object. It is a small detail that naturally becomes a conversation piece. Whether lighting incense or a few candles at home, this works beautifully.
12. Studio Douze Degres Flare 40 Lamp
The interior of my home echoes how I dress: minimal, refined and at times unexpected. This mechanical lamp feels aligned with that approach. It’s subtle during the day and fascinating in the evening; it would bring warmth to my rather dark, moody space.
13. Le Labo Hand Pomade
Keeping a hand cream close is a relatively new addition to my routine, but one I have come to appreciate. I first experienced the Hinoki scent through the body wash, and it left a lasting impression. Clean, grounding, and understated, it is the kind of scent that is always good to have on hand, paired with the proper fragrance.
14. Bottega Veneta Large Andiamo Voyager
I look for bags that feel substantial yet clean. The pieces currently in my rotation tend to be more statement-forward. While the intrecciato woven leather and generous size give this presence, it feels far more relaxed. It is practical for everyday use and sits nicely atop a carry-on for short trips.
15. Pasotti Classic Straight Silver Shoehorn
A silver shoehorn may seem simple, yet it turns the act of dressing into something more deliberate and substantial. It protects your shoes while elevating what might otherwise feel mundane. Another small detail, but a meaningful one.
16. Church’s Maidstone Calfskin Loafer
A well-made loafer is non-negotiable in my wardrobe. For outfits that call for more than a relaxed slipper or mule, this style elevates a look with minimal effort.
