Sunspel Botiglia Green Cotton T-Shirt

There was only one place to start this edit, and that was with a Sunspel T-Shirt. The British brand has played a pretty pivotal role in the birth of the universal staple, so it’s fair to say they know a fair bit about what makes the best t-shirts around. Made in England using long-staple cotton for unparalleled softness, lightness and comfort, Sunspel’s crew neck t-shirt has a classic fit and only the most essential details. You can't ask for much more, to be honest.

Sunspel Mosto Brown Corduroy Shirt

With every new menswear drop Sunspel always manage to marry quintessential British design – enter the corduroy – with ease and function. This winter’s ensemble is no different, as this Mosto Corduroy Shirt so expertly displays. It’s not just the textured 21 wale French corduroy that makes it so special, its more to do with the warm Mosto brown colour hue that will look great through winter, especially when paired with grey, black and navy colour hues.

Sunspel Merino Wool Cable Knit Jumper

A piece of knitwear is no better than the materials from which it is made. This Sunspel Cable Knit Jumper is crafted from a soft, Italian-spun merino wool in England, not far from Sunspel’s own Long Eaton factory, so that’s enough to support the opening sentence. What’s more, the premium wool construction gives the jumper a substantial knitted style that gives it an easy, relaxed fit that you can throw on and off with ease this winter.

Sunspel Black Cotton Riviera Polo Shirt

What makes the Polo Shirt such a versatile piece, and the reason why so many of us pick one up each and every year, is how easily it transcends its sporting origins. Yes, it still maintains the fundamental sporting design elements – short sleeves, soft and collar and the half-button placket – but by adopting a fine-knit cotton construction, it also looks incredibly sleek and elegant.

Sunspel Grey Melange Alpaca Knit Jumper

A knitted version of Sunspel’s best-selling Loopback sports sweater, this jumper is crafted from a super soft combination of alpaca wool with a cotton-plaited interior. That unique and insulating blend makes it the perfect layering piece for winter, as the loose knit of this typically chunky style stops it from feeling heavy or dense.
