The Menswear Collabs Worth Knowing This Autumn
Paraboot x Norse Projects
French menswear darling Paraboot has linked up with Danish label Norse Projects for a clean, cold-weather take on a boat shoe. This isn’t just any boat shoe. The bull-hide nubuck lends luxury, a muted espresso tone ensures versatility in style, and the chunky sole makes it practical for city streets and coastal walks alike. This is knockout autumn footwear.

Percival X Guinness
British menswear label Percival has teamed with Guinness for a limited run of pub-ready staples. Look for branded knitwear, relaxed shirts and outerwear stamped with subtle, grown-up co-branding. Our personal favourites include the contrast-stitch tees, the rustic cord cap, and the patchwork jacket.

Marks &Spencer X Aries
Marks & Spencer shut down its St Michael line in 2000. In recent years, demand for its well-made, pared-back retro styles has soared on the vintage market. For this first official brand revival, M&S let Aries into the archives to create a 26-piece unisex capsule that spans tailoring, knitwear and sportswear – plus a viral leather bag reimagined from M&S’s green carrier. It’s an unexpectedly cool collision of high-street heritage and subculture edge.

The Hoxton Hotel X Lacoste
This is a seven-piece capsule you can only buy via room service. Created with LA artist Michael McGregor, the drop reworks Lacoste’s polo and introduces tees, hoodies, pyjamas and a bathrobe – exclusively for guests across The Hoxton’s 19 hotels. Order from the in-room menu and your item of choice will be delivered to your door; it’s possibly the most chilled way to shop.
Only available to guests of The Hoxton
Gramicci X Thisisneverthat
Volume three of Gramicci’s collaboration with Seoul’s thisisneverthat leans hard into ’90s climbing gear. Standout pieces include a washed wind jacket that looks properly lived-in, a reversible fleece vest, and retro t-shirts that give a strong, irresistible hit of nostalgia.

George Cox X YMC
London-based independent YMC has reunited with cult British shoemaker George Cox. The shoe they’ve delivered together comes with a corrected leather upper giving a matted shine, a ghillie lace fastening for intrigue, and a softly squared toe. If you’re looking for a derby with a cool point of difference, this is it. Note too the reasonable price of these handmade British shoes.

Uniqlo U
A decade of Uniqlo U culminates in this FW26 collection – the last from Christophe Lemaire and Sarah-Linh Tran as artistic directors. Titled ‘Confidence in Form’, it refines the line’s greatest hits: soft tailoring, elevated basics and outerwear in nuanced autumnal tones. If you’ve previously bought U, you’ll know it produces keepers. If you haven’t, now’s your last chance.

Paul Smith X Barbour
Three collaborations in and this British power pairing still hits hard. For AW26, ‘Paul Smith loves Barbour’ takes cues from the Highland Games, reworking icons like the Beaufort and Transport jackets by introducing fabrics like merino wool and corduroy. It’s all incredibly Barbour, especially considering the tartans at play, but Sir Paul’s vibrancy is plain to see in the linings, trims and colour-blocked knitwear.

Gap X A.P.C.
Parisian minimalism meets American casual in this capsule. Drawing on 1960s cinema, music and art, the drop leans on rigid denim, workwear jackets and blazers that sit neatly between APC’s cool and GAP’s everyday ease. The standout piece is a classic grey and navy GAP hoodie reworked with APC branding. With a Dover Street Market Ginza pop-up adding a touch of exclusivity, it’s bound to sell out.

On X PAF
The sixth and final chapter of ON’s Current Form project with POST ARCHIVE FACTION centres on the new Cloudsoma PAF trail shoe. Asymmetric lacing, a solid midsole and Missiongrip outsole make it the most wearable yet properly technical silhouette in the series. A variety of colourways in tasteful tones gives it versatility both on and off the hiking path. Just a friendly reminder that once it’s gone, it’s gone.
