Everyday Luxury

The benefits of upgrading your favorite staples

A man’s wardrobe is best served by having a few well-made workhorse items. Those garments that are tried-and-true. The ones he can return to again and again. They don't have to be fancy, but if you're going to spend money on clothing, it seems like a far smarter investment to put down the cash for a luxe version of your favorite chinos, sweatshirt or jacket, rather than some “special occasion” piece that lives out its life sequestered to the back your closet. Here, a few examples from MR PORTER's latest offerings to consider.

The New Luxury

Cotton-Jersey Hoodie

Part of the brand's Eternal line, this ultra soft hoodie is intended to be worn for years to come. It's made from cotton-jersey backed in warm fleece and flocked with the collection name across the back shoulders.

Bamako Wool Sweatshirt

Elevate your everyday sweatshirt by swapping in this smarter version from The Row. With a relaxed fit and luxurious hand-feel, it's knitted from warm virgin wool with a raised seam down the back.

Suede Jacket

Take your standard leather jacket up a few notches, by opting for a luxe, buttery suede version. This one, from MR P., is cut with a relaxed drape in a sporty coach-style silhouette. It has a stylish throwback camp collar and is finished with horn buttons.

Pleated Twill Trouser

A great pair of chinos can be as dressy or as casual as you need them to be. Especially when they're expertly cut by Italian craftspeople. Brunello Cucinelli's are tailored from soft and smooth cotton-twill that's been specially woven for the label and finished with modern pleats.

Silk-Cotton T-shirt

Loro Piana's fabric mill is famous for churning out pieces like this fluid silk and cotton-blend T-shirt. It's smooth and lightweight, so it makes for a great undershirt, but is a solid stand-alone option, too.

Wool Polo Shirt

This rugby-inspired polo shirt has been knitted in Scotland from naturally insulating wool and lined with a blend of merino wool, silk and cashmere for a luxuriously soft handle.

Cotton-Satin Overshirt

This versatile jacket is cut from a lightweight Japanese cotton-satin and has a subtle sheen, making it feel elevated without being fussy. It's a great investment because it can be worn with nearly anything in your wardrobe.

Shawl-Collar Cotton Cardigan

Knitted in Italy from a substantial cotton, this ribbed-texture cardigan has a relaxed fit and an adjustable shawl collar. The navy shade only adds to its timeless appeal.

Tapered Corduroy Trouser

Nili Lotan's modern take on some classic cords are cut from durable cotton and tailored for a cropped, tapered fit that looks great with loafers, sneakers and boots.
